billsfreak Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Again, no thanks. Giving up draft picks for old players is the opposite of what we are trying to do, isn't it? Wayne is coming off one of his best years (111 catches), and hasn't not had 1,000 yards for about 7 or 8 years. Not like he is an old, injured, past his prime player. Besides, the Bills have taken chances with oft injured vets, who havent contributed in years (Merriman), Wayne would be a no-brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fridge Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Get a TV... There is your link No that's not a link. This isn't a real report. You either misheard something on espn, or enjoy lying. For future reference, if someone says a player is a good fit, thats not a report that we're interested. It's not even a rumor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Reggie Wayne for a 4th is a no brainer. Reggie Wayne for Lee Evans straight up is a no brainer. It's seriously a no brainer, like even a mouth breathing yokel would would not hesitate. Anyone questioning this idea either A.) Does not know who Reggie Wayne is. B.) Does not have an understanding of the Bills current WR injuries C.) Overvalues a second 4th round pick D.) Is Stoopid E.) All of the Above Sounds too good to be true to me. Reggie Wayne is 33 and will still be productive when he is 36. If he sticks around AND is productive for 3-4 years, I'd support the trade. But at 33, I assume every year is his last, and I really don't know how I feel about trading draft picks for one year players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastly Dareus Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) Per schefter on ESPN just now the Bills may look to acquire R Wayne from the Colts for a 4th....Why not we have a 4th to spare I have been watching ESPN and seen this segment. How about actually listening to what Schefter said... He made a list of 4 trades, he THINKS would make sense. He said Reggie Wayne going to Buffalo for a 4th would make sense because Buffalo needs WR help and he thinks Wayne would fit in here well. All 4 trade proposals he made, were HIS OPINION of what would make sense if it happened. He said 2 times... "This is factitious and for fun, these are trades that I THINK would make sense" Edited October 13, 2011 by Beastly Dareus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDaDdy Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I still think we are rebuilding, personally. I'd rather draft someone we can use for a few years than trade a draft pick for a guy that'll be around for 11 games at most. I would agree if we didn't have 2 of our preseason top 4 WRs on IR and Donald Jones out 4 - 6. We can't take our new found success for granted. If we want to keep this rolling and playing our 4 and 5 wide sets we need another quality WR. Getting Reggie Wayne or Brandon Lloyd would be predicated upon them signing and playing for 3 to 4 years.

But like I said, at his age, I assume every year is his last, and it's hard to trade away picks for what amounts to a one year player. I don't think we're going to the Superbowl with or without him, so I say give our younger guys playing time, pick up someone off FA and keep the draft for continued rebuilding.

But at 33, I assume every year is his last, and I really don't know how I feel about trading draft picks for one year players. The "30" rule applies to RBs not WRs. There is no reason to assume every year is his last year. He is HOF caliber WR. He probably gets in before Reed on account of the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoner7 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Again, no thanks. Giving up draft picks for old players is the opposite of what we are trying to do, isn't it? I teld to agree, but a 4th is nothing. A forth is marcus easly. I still feel Wayne is legit, he isnt producing this eyar bc Manning is out. Besides, if its teh 4th we got for Lee, thats like trading Lee for Wayne... talk about a total steal for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably gets in before Reed on account of the ring. I agree that he's great. And if he were 30, I'd have a different opinion than if he were 33. To me as soon as you get closer to 35, than 30, your time is limited. Again, if he stayed for a few years and is productive, then cool, do it... but I just doubt it for some reason. I guess I'm dumb or stupid or whatever. Either way, it looks like this is just one person's opinion on something that should happen, not something that is actually going to happen. So it's all moot.

There is no requirement on this site to post a link to everything someones types on their keyboard. In fact it is one of the most retarded sounding things when someone replies with "link?".

zow2 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 If the Colts do trade Wayne to anyone, they are simply punting the season and going hard for the heir to Manning (in Mr. Luck). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
