Deal appears to be done TH for LJS


Recommended Posts

Bills get LJ Shelton For Travis Henry one for one player trade unless Arizona is unable to get a long term deal done with TH then the Bills may have to give up a 5th rounder too

A player for player is fair for both sides. No need to throw in a fifth rounder.

I like the move.  We get at worst a backup LT for a backup running back.  Shelton will most likely start at guard if Jonas stays or replace him at LT.

Its going to be tough to want to hang on to JJ if the cap difference between the two is very large.

 

I think it was conceivable that if one of the few teams left in the LT market were to want to give JJ a max of the 5 million annual going rate for average LT talent the Bills would match, however, with the potential for s $3 million cap hit (which can be reduced to $1.25 million with a straight restructuring of the Shelton hit, paying that much more for JJ looks pretty doubtful.

 

By taking on the lower cap hit at LT, the Bills can probably easily resign Phat Pat, Marcus Price as a back-up for both tackle spots, with the cap room we have and use the additional funds to get an FA TE to bridge the gap until Campbell and Euhus are rehealed, and still shop for the back-up RB they need to keep the all important WM going.
