Nothing?! This thread is one surreptitious Randy Constan link away from having EVERYTHING.

I'd be okay with Zay Jones & T.J. Yeldon for Clowney.
Clowney is a premium football asset. Think bigger! Get creative! Pull John Skelton out of retirement and then trade him to Houston for Clowney.

Can we give them Murphy & Yeldon, and /save game ? ?
Maybe if we don't specify which Murphy during the phone conversation, the Texans will accidentally assume Trent and then we can slip them Marcus for the official NFL transaction paper work.

I want to be able to re-sign Tre , Edmunds , Allen , Dawkins all big contracts . I want to draft a DE instead of very expensive Clowney, jmo
No need to worry. This team is being constructed so that they can afford an elite free agent DE and still pay all the guys you mentioned when their contracts are up. Keep in mind that Murphy and Hughes will very likely be gone by the time the big contracts for our youth core are needed. Lotulelei will have a very manageable cap hit by then as well. If Beane does end up trading for Clowney, I'm confident that he already thought about this and plans to keep all of White, Edmunds, Allen, Dawkins, Milano, Oliver, etc.

I don't know what his responsibilities are each play, but what I see is a player that is tough to move but lacks the hands to disengage from blocks.
Honestly to me Oliver may be best suited as a NT, which is what Houston ultimately had him doing and was criticized for it. McDermott may use Oliver the same way. He's very difficult to move even at his size.
You are the only person on the planet who is thinking this. Everyone else on the planet believes his skill set at the NFL level is optimally utilized as a 3 technique 4-3 DT.

John, take the homer glasses off for a minute. Shady is on the wrong side of 30 and coming off the worst season of his career. He has very low trade value. Zay is getting shipped because he’s a huge disappointment. He is an average possession receiver who struggles to catch the ball.
i mean if the Texans were that stupid, I’d love it. But there are much better deals than that one.
Also: McCoy has just 1 year left on his contract as well, Jones has 2 but he sucks so who cares, and Clowney would come with a franchise tag option where we could conceivably snag a really good pick or picks in 2020 if we aren't able to reach a long-term deal.

Why would the Texans want that package of ??
Because he's offering the Texans two players instead of one! Why not push all of your chips to the center of the table and make an offer they can't refuse? Throw in Tyree Jackson, Ray-Ray McCloud, Jason Croom, Russell Bodine, Sam Acho, Tyrel Dodson, Denzel Rice, any punter of their choice named Corey/Cory, and all of the locker room items formerly owned by Vlad Ducasse.

Did we get any clarity on this subject after last night? We're discussing 5 LB's for 3 spots: Joseph, Stanford, Thompson, M. Alexander, and Lacey. Who among these players can back up at MLB besides Stanford? Do Stanford and Thompson also play special teams? I think you also have to guarantee Joseph a roster spot because there's no way he's passing waivers on the way to the practice squad. So we're really down to 4 guys competing for 2 spots.

How about he just goes eat some hay? He can make things out of clay and lay by the bay.
What do you say?
What do I say? I hope Zay can stay another day if he chooses to play the right way and be versatile like Ray-Ray. Like in a top/bottom gay way? Nay! In a Steve Tasker "slay" way so to keep The Turk at bay and earn his pay beyond next May. Only then with that pay, can Zay go cray-cray with a "bae" who resembles a young Faye Dunaway first with some foreplay and then later sway with a full glass of chardonnay and spray his....okay, so my post has gone astray and there are board rules I should obey, so - yes - Zay can eat some hay or make things out of clay or lay by the bay or, hell, even watch HBO's Game of Thrones Rams-ay flay another enem-ay. Is the Lions game today? Oh, it's this Friday! Yay!

I’m worried that he ordered “the peach” at the Ice cream place. I assumed he would go with “a peach” because at least that is fat free and natural sugar. But no. He’s likely letting himself go to the point that I’d be surprised if he’s still pulling those 4:30 am MMA workouts. The team takes on the demeanor of the coach, and he’s getting sloppy.
Even worse, the ice cream place had no dairy alternative options. The team is almost 75% African-American, and up to 75% of all African-Americans are lactose intolerant. By my calculations, about half the team must have been shitting in their pants on the bus. Perhaps our tonsured head coach is actually a neo-nazi skinhead racial dog-whistling Trump-supporting white nationalist who doesn't care about the nutritional needs of black people?

I think we should sign him just because his name is Allen.
And then we should try and acquire as many Allens as we can.Allen is the new Williams? We could also use another Carter, Johnson, Jones, Lewis, Murphy, Phillips, or Wallace.

So here are the team rankings of the games on our schedule, in order from toughest to weakest:
1, 1, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 19, 21, 22, 22, 27, 28, 30, 32, 32

I think the 1964 Bills are ranked too low at #94. This was arguably the strongest AFL team during the entire 10-year AFL history, yet they're only ranked here as the 7th best AFL team. Moreover, this team was arguably the second most important to the AFL-NFL merger aside from the 1968 Jets.

I’ll take the under on Murphy at 10 sacks
For perspective, only 22 players had double digit sacks last season.
Also, the top sacking defense had 52 last year. The Bills were near the bottom at 36 (1 less sack per game from being elite). Here's a sample template of how the Bills could get to 52:
Hughes - 10
Murphy - 8
Oliver - 8
Alexander - 6
Lawson - 6
rest of DL - 6
Milano - 2
Edmunds - 2
Poyer - 2
rest of DB's - 2
-
I count 10:
RB: McCoy, Gore
DL: Hughes, Lotulelei, Murphy
LB: Lorax, Milano
DB: Hyde, Poyer, White
Everyone else on this roster probably needs the reps in some way.

Every NFL roster has an active 46, an inactive 7, and then the practice squad. Why not keep Wade among the inactive 7 and have him learn the game there? Who gives a flying ***** if we keep him over Perry, Yeldon, Murphy, McCloud, Wesley, McDermott, Love, Yarbrough, Lacey, Marlowe, Lewis, etc. on the 53-man roster? Players such as all of the aforementioned will be readily available as free agent/practice squad/waiver wire pickups throughout the regular season. Wade has elite athletic skills and is already 28.3 years old. How much more NFL career time does he have left? Put him on the roster and give him a chance to play in November and December when injuries take a toll.

So 41% of this list played at least one season during The Drought Era:
2 P - Mohr, Moorman
2 K - Christie, Lindell
3 QB - Flutie, Bledsoe, Fitzpatrick
3 RB - Henry, Jackson, McCoy
6 WR - Moulds, Price, Josh Reed, Evans, Parrish, Stevie Johnson
2 TE - Riemersma, Clay
6 OL - Fina, Ruben Brown, Teague, Peters, Wood, Incognito
9 DL - Hansen, Ted Washington, Pat Williams, Schobel, Kelsay, Kyle Williams, Dareus, Mario Williams, Hughes
1 LB - Fletcher
7 DB - Winfield, Clements, McGee, McKelvin, Jairus Byrd, Aaron Williams, Gilmore
With all of this talent, you'd think the Bills would have slipped into a wild-card playoff spot once or twice over a 17-year period...
More likely, this list is engaging in what I call "recency bias." Obvious examples: Josh Reed, Charles Clay, Trey Teague, and Chris Kelsay have no business on a top-100 all-time Bills list.

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/1965_AFL/probowl.htm
got me interested in this team. Is this link wrong? Looks like it says the Bills has 36 players make the pro bowl in 1965. Lol
In 1965 only, the deal was that the AFL Champions were to play the all-stars from the rest of the 7 AFL teams during the AFL All-Star Game. This technicality aside, I still would argue that the mid-60's Buffalo DB's were the best in franchise history.
I like the OP's thoughts here, however. This current group absolutely has the chance to be the best ever in franchise history. White is ready to emerge as a first-team all-pro. Hyde is already borderline. Poyer is already Pro Bowl caliber. I need to see a lot more from Wallace, but he already has shown glimpses of being Pro Bowl caliber. And the other 6-7 guys provide incredible depth, most notably Taron Johnson as the nickel.

Thanks for sharing that. I've never seen it before.
Mogilny/Lafontaine is probably my favorite era of the Sabres. They had magic.
That era has a special place in my heart because I was introduced to the Sabres and the NHL through the EA Sports video game, NHL '94. It's crazy to think that the 92-93 Sabres roster had 4 Hall of Famers on it (LaFontaine, Hawerchuk, Hasek, Andreychuk/Fuhr) and probably 5 WHEN Mogilny gets elected.

Allen's development in year 2 is far more important than upgrading from really good defense to elite 1 year earlier than planned. We can get Clowney or someone similar next year in free agency. But if we lose Nsekhe, all we have at tackle to protect our franchise QB is Dawkins and maybe the rookie Ford.
I'd offer a 2nd rounder and Lawson for 1 year of Clowney, but probably not much more than that. Dawkins, Nsekhe, and Ford are untradable in my opinion.

As ANY defensive coach will tell you, sacks are the "flashy" stats fans and the media love, but they'd much rather know they are getting consistent pressure on the QB, forcing him to move "off his spot" and hurry his throws. It's pretty basic. OBVIOUSLY you'd like to have both.
I can't really disagree with any of this. But here's the thing about sacks: there are actually very few other times in a modern NFL game where the QB gets hit. On most QB running plays, he will either slide or run out of bounds. And if a defender so much as breathes on a QB after he has thrown the ball, a flag comes out. So there is a very large psychological component to rattling the opposing team's QB by vicious sacks. This, of course, is in addition to the loss of downs, yardage lost, and potential fumble from a sack that can all be pretty devastating to an otherwise promising drive. So I still don't think sacks are an overrated defensive metric. Take the legendary 1985 Chicago Bears, for example. They were dominant in practically every statistical category available, but everyone from the 1980's remembers them for their QB sack numbers. The only ones who didn't were the opposing QB's who were concussed or had PTSD-related memory loss from having to face them.
Here are the 8 categories I use to measure the quality of an NFL defense, followed by the 2018 league ranking for the Bills:
Yards-per-game: 2
Opposing passer rating: 3
Interceptions: 7
3rd down percentage: 8
Rushing yards allowed-per-carry: 9
Points-per-game: 18
Sacks: 26
Red zone TD percentage: 30
I believe these Bills are knocking on the door of elite status, but the pass rush and the red zone defensive packages need to get a lot better in order to be considered a serious challenger for the title of #1 defense. By the way, I believe we are a single Clowney trade (and relative health) away from reaching this goal. So if Clowney is actually available for anything less than a 1st round draft pick, then Beane needs to strongly consider this offer.

On paper, these guys have a legitimate chance to be the greatest Bills team of the 21st century (I know, I know...not saying much...just get to 10-6 and be competitive in a wild-card loss and you've won this title). The depth is looking strong at virtually every position except maybe tackle. The 2019 schedule looks very manageable at this early stage of the season. I wish we had an elite #1 WR and elite #1 DE, but I believe Beane will get us those pieces next year. Most importantly, the 2019 Buffalo Bills look like the true definition of a TEAM - guys who actually like each other and like playing together and like working hard every day to achieve a worthy goal - rather than just a haphazard collection of talent like we saw with the Whaley and Donahoe rosters of the past. Just look at the character traits of each of McBeane's first round draft picks to see what I mean: White, Allen, Edmunds, and Oliver.

Pro Football Network: Bills one of teams in on Clowney trade
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
Clowney probably doesn't want to play for the Skins because they aren't expected to be remotely competitive this year. Maybe a 3-way trade between the Bills, Texans, and Skins is possible? Does Washington have a burning desire for Zay Jones, perhaps???!!!
