Trade - Car WR Clay to Bills for CB K Seymour & 7th rd pick

[TigerJ]

Essentially a poor scheme fit on defense for a return specialist who has a little speed and a draft pick in 2019. Nothing very exciting.

[YoloinOhio]

Would love to know whaf the other teams that called about Seymour offered.

Im sure it was more than the Panthers were offering but Beane said nah, I would rather piss off Bobby.

Haters would have you believe some top end talent.

[Cripple Creek]

These guys may fail, these decisions may be terrible, but I will reasonably make my judgement after the decisions play out.

My guess is that Green Bay called to offer Rodgers.

Everyone here is saying we got a 7th rounder? Everywhere I am looking says we gave one up...am I missing something?

[BuffaloFan68]

Isn't Kaelin like 5'8" & 160lbs?

Getting too cute for McSelves.

Come on 2018

CHARLOTTE - The Panthers shook up their 53-man roster a couple of hours after it was set, trading for Bills cornerback Kevon Seymour.

 

The Bills received wide receiver Kaelin Clay and the Panthers' 2019 seventh-round pick in the exchange.

The Bills added to their receiving corps with a trade Saturday. Buffalo acquired WR Kaelin Clay from the Carolina Panthers in exchange for CB Kevon Seymour and a 2019 seventh-round pick

 

 

So Bills website says Seymour and a 7th

 

Caolina website says Clay and a 7th

 

Ha ha ha

Obviously it could be a variety of picks or players that wouldn't have been graded the same by everyone -- seeing the comparison could give us some idea of priorities

the poster indicated he would have been a solid CB2 or nickel on this current defense. That's what I was curious about. He certainly did not show that he could be. Perhaps in Rex's defense? We will never know. He only played a little and the rest is history.

I understand and replied accordingly-- I'll stand by my response that we entered the offseason with a set of young talented man corners and have gutted them for scheme fits. I'm sure many fans have whiplash and are still projecting them based on their past successes, not their current fit in a scheme not everyone read every camp report about

ok I see. He seems like a very nice guy and had an amazing backstory. I think a lot of fans like that too. Edited September 3, 2017 by YoloinOhio

Plus he had every measurable, a valid and easily addressable excuse for why he slipped in the draft, and that graph on giving up the fewest receptions per snap of any rookie....

 

I think people got too high on him, but he was more than just a feel good story too. I think he'd see a lot of snaps in many cities.

He's 5'10"- 200. Supposed to be fast but only ran a 4.45. Not exactly a burner. I guess they mean football fast lol.

[jahbonas]

I am starting to give up or lose the feeling I had when this staff was hired. They have made quit a few moves but none of them addressed our biggest problem which is RT. I was not at all happy to see B.Reilly got cut because it feels like sending Hogan to NE all over again. Now they get rid of Seymour who may have been someone to save our a$$es in case of injury or at least a good nickel.....for who?.......W T F? I'm starting to get less and less hopeful for this season....and it's quickly heading toward the dismay i knew Rex would bring.... Again W T F? This is starting to smell like a good piece of meat that was in the fridge is turning bad....Please God...not again!!!!

 

Early in free agency Bills went after OT Andre Smith & OT Rickey Wagner - they lost and then spent a #2 on OT hawkins...soooo wtf you talking aboutt

[Marv's Neighbor]

Will they call him Cato in the locker room? Just in time for OJ's release too.

[BuffaloBillsMagic1]

Please tell me we didn't give up more than a 2020 7th round conditional pick

no we got the 2019 7th round pick in the deal

[Kemp]

I don't disagree with you. However, I'm skeptical of their statements that we are expecting to be a playoff contender, if you are rebuilding from the ground up, tell it like it is. Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining. That's all. I'll give them a chance, i always do.

 

I know, you know, everyone here knows, and management knows this is not a playoff team, but do you really expect management to say the team sucks?

 

Does management of any team in any sport ever say that?

 

I'm ecstatic they're tearing it all down, considering there is very little worth keeping.

early free agency...ok whiff.... so is dawkins our starting rt? ...getting all the reps?....why is mills still here?

[JaCrispy]

Did McBeane ever really say they expected to be a playoff contender or did they just say they going to try and compete? Because you can be a real crappy team but still try to compete...perhaps people misunderstood what they said? Does anyone have actual quotes because I honestly don't know what was said.

Seems pretty clear to me that McBeane want to build for the future, but are not doing so in a way that includes "tanking" this season. If they were, they would get draft picks for McCoy, Clay, Taylor, Dareus, etc.

 

Reading the recent Ringer interview with McDermott, though, I would say that the primary purpose of this season is to build a culture and determine who fits in with said culture. They're gonna use the season to see what they've got, basically.

 

While I expect them to compete hard and never throw in the towel or "race to the bottom", I also expect about a 6-10 season and an extremely interesting offseason to follow. The 2018 draft will make or break this regime, period. I fully anticipate the Bills drafting a QB in round 1. That makes this year little more than a transitional season.
