It would be nice to know what the other offers were...

I think its fair to say that Boogie would have been at best the 4th best DE. Maybe, he is better than Shaq, AJE and Kingsley but how much better?? If the difference is small and someone had to go, why that the guy with the best trade value? I did not see Boogie separate himself from Shaq, AJE and Kingsley but Im not a NFL scout. I will assume that Boogie had the best trade value and thats what made the decision. I know we always want to keep the very best for the coming season, but again we are talking about a guy who could not separate himself as the 4th DE. I know that a swap in late round picks does not sound like much, but it will give the Bills access to 32 more and theoretically better players in an upcoming draft. I like that return better than keeping Boogie and letting one of the others walk and getting nothing in return.

A come back week 4 would be good. He would miss the jets, raiders, and Washington. Back for Mia and then Jax both are important games.

Good point on only playing 16 games!!! My statement about the O being awful was sarcasm, shouldn't complain when your 5th in TDs when playing one less game...

Heard this on the radio today, and thought the O is awful.... 5th in over all TDs....

Josh was majorly handicapped with his weapons especially his first year, not to mention a bad O-line. And didnt have a #1 wr till his 3rd year.

Maybe he had an successful offseason bulk and now he will start a preseason cut... I hope.

I saw that he guarantees he will be back before week 6

So, has he been sandbagging?🤣

Trading for Hopkins is as dump as trading Diggs!!! Please make these threads stop... The team is tight on the cap already so spending the money for his salary is crazy, not to mention the draft capital it would take to get him. Teams tight on the cap and the Bills will be with JA contract need draft picks to bring in quality cheep players. WRs are sexy toys on a roster but dollar for dollar the Bills Offense would be much better off using resources on the OL. JA with time in the pocket is much more important than JA running for his life trying to hit another WR. Not to mention a better OL would aid the running game and keep JA out of harms way. Look up Hopkins salary and tell me how it works....

If they did not trade a 1st for Diggs and took one of the WR who is also very good would thy still be in the bottom 10?

Yes the BPA theory is the same as "dont reach" based on need. BPA is tough since you might be comparing payers at different positions. I would not care if the Bills drafted all defense this year as long as they are all future hall of famers...

So lets take solid starting LT and move him to a new position and maybe we can draft a guy to fill the void? How sure are you that the Bills could draft him? He is a top 10 on some Big Boards and we draft at what 27. What are you willing to give to move up? How sure are you that he will be better than Dion at OT? And he is a quote about this guy “He’s a Pro Bowler at guard but just an average tackle if a team keeps him there.” -- Executive for NFC team

That might be true, but at this point moving Dawkins to guard is just as stupid as moving JA to TE...

Make this craziness stop...... At this pace, next week there will be a thread about moving JA to TE.

Make it stop!!! Im ok with the arm-chair GM from the living room, but tired of ones from the psych ward.....

We NEED a safety!! I dont think it is a good plan to move a good prospect from CB to be an experimental safety as plan A. We need to get a guy that can start at S for the first game. How sure can we be that Benford is that guy? If Benford is moved to we would need to find another CB to fill that spot.

I thought trading diggs was a stupid idea, but had to ask. Cant see why people keep bringing it up!

I see the idea of trading Diggs but what is the dead cap that comes with doing that?

He had it great with the Rams but not so much in NY. The Cards not bad either, but no where as good as TB.

Possibly so. In the JA/Rivers thread I used him as one of my examples

Normal price for the ball is $20 a dozen. So the logo is free and it supports a good cause.

Tom is great no question.... But name a QB that had better career circumstances than TB in the history of the NFL.

Buy the JA Bills mafia golf ball to support his charity. https://www.oncoregolf.com/products/josh-allen-mafia-nation-ball/?fb_adid=23851573991170641&fb_campaign=LocalTarget-MafiaNation&fb_ad=Local-Mafia-N-ad-V2&fb_adsetid=23851573874800641&fb_adset=Local-Mafia-N-adSet1&fb_campaignid=23851573874600641

I hate that QBs are evaluated like they are in a vacuum!!! Of course the QB is the most important player on the team, but there are 52 other guys on the roster. The 53 man roster is only one part of the organization. When a great QB is part of a great organization, great things happen. Too often the QB gets too much of the fame, or the blame. A few examples to discuss Lets start with the "GOAT" Is Tom great? no question, absolutely!! He was drafted in BB in his first year as the coach with a team that was in a downward trajectory. As a rookie Tom gets to get a full year of development and does not have to take a demoralizing beating. Year 2 wow, comes in and is great. It was also the second year for the team under BB who in of course one of the greatest coaches in history. We all know the success that the Pats have had. Over that time the Pats had an elite defense in mot of the years, very good run game, and special teams (2 Hall of fame kickers?). I recall a number of playoff games won in OT or FGs with no time on the clock. In that time the Pats were caught cheating how many times? We all could go on about other things TB benefited form. But lets take Tom out of the equation. He was very durable over his time, but when out the team was still very successful. Matt Castle went 11-5 and he was what a very low end starter or back up QB in the NFL. When TB was suspended for cheating the team went 3-1 with Jimmy G(2-0) and Jacoby Brissett(1-1). Brissett was the 3rd string QB and had a broken bone in his throwing hand when loosing to our Bills. Brady goes to the Bucks, a team where he takes over for a not great QB that threw for 5100 yards!! Also the team was able to add a lot of great talent that year. Next example Mahomes, he is great no question. Drafted by another Hall of fame coach, and one of the greatest offensive minds ever. Gets a redshirt year, and takes over for the "beige Impala" of QBs who took the team to the AFC championship game. Next example Manning again great! The Colts were a great organization. If he ended up going to the Chargers would we view him the same way? My opinion no. When Eli was in the draft it was said he would have refused to go to the Chargers because of a conversation Eli's father Archie had about quarterback Ryan Leaf's experience with the team. So, Rivers is not held in the same hight regard because he has no rings. If he played his career for the Pats would he have some? I think so. When saying JA = Rivers it is unfair to both...
