Tipster19 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I wouldn't be surprised if it's with multiple players and/or with multiple teams but we have too many good players to just let walk away with no compensation. In addition Doug Whaley has shown that he is more than willing to wheel and deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Why are we letting all of these good players go? And what would we be looking for in return, more good players or picks to draft more good players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codyny13 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I could see trading a 5th or 6th receiver for O-line depth or some thing like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 i wouldnt be surprised to see a trade like we picked up thad for a future cut 2 years ago. but itll be a kind of ho-hum thing, not a huge one to get excited for. basically skip the waiver claim process, not re-shape the roster.

billsfan89 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 What players specifically do you think won't make the roster but have some value in a trade? Bryce Brown? Goodwin? What teams are willing to trade a 7th rounder for those players? What teams have a half way decent backup tackle they are will to part with to get their hands on those players? I just don't see teams hounding the Bills for players the team is considering cutting. Why not just wait till the Bills cut the player and why wouldn't the Bills do the same for a player on another team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABills Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Whaley is good at drafting mid-round guys. We should trade Mccoy for a 3rd, Darues for a 4th and maybe get a 3rd and 4th for Gilmore. We'd be set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 What can we get for Dareus? For Sammy? For Preston? For Carpenter? We've got some good players. What can we get for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just wait till the Bills cut the player and why wouldn't the Bills do the same for a player on another team because then you have to wait and see if they get cut, and then deal with waivers/competing with other teams. you see a little of it, but not a ton. even if the guy you trade for goes nowhere, if you are trading a future cut, no big deal. i used the chris white for thad example. none of us wouldve circled either player as a target, but...

Why not just wait till the Bills cut the player and why wouldn't the Bills do the same for a player on another team The only reason I can think of is exclusivity. You trade for a player now, you don't have to compete for him later. Of course that depends on existing contract(years left/salary). It may be a better deal to trade for a guy you know the Bills are going to cut now, and keep the current deal, rather than having to compete, outbid--> overpay later. But, other than that, you're right. Just the tip? How was I supposed to know you're lactose intolerant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I could see Bryce Brown, Deonte Thompson, Goodwin and Hogan being "dangled" in trade offers. Coaches have a pretty good idea at this point who is going to make the team. Why not try to get something for them now? Why wouldn't other teams just wait until they were released? Well, as other posters have eluded to, these players would have to be awarded to teams through waivers. No guarantees. I could see some trades happening.

Tipster19 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hogan could be one, maybe even EJ. They seem to have chemistry, maybe a package. I really don't know, it's just hypothetical. An example, a 3 team trade involving Cleveland, Dallas and Buffalo. Players involved like Hogan, Manuel, Manziel, Gilbert and possible OL and draft picks from Dallas. Who knows but there is talent to disperse amongst teams. Why can't we be one of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see some trades happening. plus you might get an extra few days of practice with them. if we picked up a new LB or 3rd TE, im sure wed want as many reps as possible. if a future cut gives you that opportunity, cool.

Nanker Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 It's a comfort to know that Rex will not allow any more injuries to happen. That completely frees up Doug to get into wheeling and dealing. And what better day to begin than today when good ol' Buddy Nix hisself is in town! Go ahead Doug, get er dun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hogan and EJ have a history. I thought Hogan got better after EJ was benched. Hogan barely played when EJ was in the game in the first four. Mike Williams started those four games and then there was Watkins and Woods ahead of Hogan. The same week that Marrone turned to Orton, MW got in the Doughouse and was rarely heard from again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
