MAJBobby Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Would you want the Bills to claim him? he would carry this year and next two under contract but would be able to move on from him at really any time. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-york-giants/eli-manning-4348/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrod has been more effective across the board for a year and a half. If you are looking for a vet break the bank for Cousins. If not, roll with the rookie and sign someone like Teddy Bridgewater.

Boatdrinks Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I don't think this would ever happen, but yes I'd claim him. He'd be gone before it ever got to the Bills though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are going to sell that 1st overall anyway once they sign AJ McCarron in offseason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7975 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Why? Just roll with what we have and draft a QB. Manning isn't that great. He had a few really good years and that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan130 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I would take him but would still want to draft a QB in the first round. Let the young QB learn from a veteran accomplished QB for a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was released would you claim him for this year or better chance to make playoffs. Also have a vet for next year with no real financial tie Edited November 29, 2017 by MAJBobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was released would you claim him for this year or better chance to make playoffs with TT? I think if we were to claim him it would be more about the future than the now. I don't see him in the future. The reason I say that is because it usually takes weeks to work into a new system and get some chemistry with a new team. There are only 5 weeks left. At best Eli would play 2 or 3 games with a limited play book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all of Taylor's shortcomings, he can move. Manning would get constantly buried considering the holes we have on this O line.

I'll second this. I'd rather a rookie over an older QB who couldn't win with OBJ, Brandon Marshall, Sterling Shepard and Evan Ingram. Manning is 2-9 this year. Besides, he just got benched for Geno Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't know. I just know that every time I have seen a move like you are suggesting its a while before that player is able to contribute anything meaningful. Its not a bad thought if he were released. I just don't think he could contribute much this season and hopefully next season we will have drafted a stud.

The last sentence here is really exactly what i want to do. Identify and get your Rookie and sign Bridgewater if health ok for the vet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
