Frez Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Can we gain a pick or player by dealing Bledsoe to another team? What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Can we gain a pick or player by dealing Bledsoe to another team?What do you think? 236351[/snapback] Nope. Why would anyone give up anything for Bledsoe? Everyone in the league knows he is going to get cut. They can just wait and sign him for a much more cap friendly deal.

JimBob2232 Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 actually, its probably better for a team to trade for him. They get him free of any bonuses (like we did when we got him), and can cut him at any time and recieve ZERO cap hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 We probably will get more for him, then we will for Travis. Starting quality QB's are much harder to come by, and unless a team has one on the roster rarely do they get rid of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 They probably won't get much for him if they do choose to trade him. He's 33 years old, coming off a poor season and is on the verge of being released. Still, he might be worth a day 2 pick to a rebuilding team that needs a stopgap at QB for a couple of years and that does not want to get into a bidding war in FA. The Bills might also opt to trade him for a 6th or 7th round conditional pick in 2006 that could elevate to a 2nd or 3rd based on his play.

stuckincincy Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 No, too much monetary baggage. The Bills will have to sit down at the table and chow down the loss like Cincy had to do with Akili Smith. Dumb move on TD's part to sign him last year - DB stunk to high heaven after 2003 and IMO he would have stayed here on the relative cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tux of Borg Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Even though its a weak QB class, i don't see teams jumping for Drew like they would Travis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill from NYC Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Even though its a weak QB class, i don't see teams jumping for Drew like they would Travis. 236428[/snapback] Yeah, GMs are known for "jumping" all over the place at an opportunity to trade for a fumbling, bumbling fool who is historically bad at every phase of football except running, which he could not even do in 04. Corey Dillon only brought the bengals a 2nd round pick. Do you think that we can trade Travis to the Raiders for Robert Gallery, or should we hold out for more?

QBs who have talent are harder to find than dime a dozen fumbling, loser (check his record) running backs who are headcases to boot. OK, RJ sucked, but dont you see where I am going with this? Look what the rams gave up for Faulk, and what the phish gave up for Freeley. See what I mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They take so many hits- most dont make it 5 years. The Broncos were quick to trade Portis because they knew they could put anyone back there and they would be productive. There is a good chance the Seahawks let Shawn Alexander go. I agree- QBs have more trade value then RBs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind that, some will say he resembled Montana in his prime. That said, I am almost sure that the Bills could trade him (although this is admittedly said to be a weaker draft) for a top 15 pick. Truthfully, I wish they would. Bad vibes, Bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
