RVJ Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 There has been massive fallout in the trade market for the Denver Broncos' Reuben Droughns and Buffalo's Travis Henry. While there hasn't been much response in trade value for Droughns since the Broncos put him on the block after the season, Henry's top suitors (Arizona and Miami) appear to have lost interest. The central issue has been the robust running back crop in the draft, where it appears quality prospects will be available into the third round. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylc=X3oD...=yhoo&type=lgns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBills12 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 looks like we won't need to sign a back up running back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCBillsFan Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 It will be interesting to see what Henry does. Will he play hard auditioning for next year or will he pout and whine causing dissention in the locker room? I hope it's the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 looks like we won't need to sign a back up running back 267582[/snapback] Yeah, keep him for now. If someone has an immediate need during training camp or early season and is willing to pay then make the deal. Otherwise we will have a solid if somewhat clumsy backup RB.

duey Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 There is always the possiblity of a training camp trade to someone who either got stiffed in the draft, or has lost someone to injury (like Philly last year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlegm Alley Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 In that case, TD should have any suitor firmly by the balls. Make them cry TD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise we will have a solid if somewhat clumsy backup RB. What exactly is the market for a "solid if somewhat clumsy backup RB"? Would it be perhaps a 6th or 7th rd. draft pick???

I like it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 looks like we won't need to sign a back up running back 267582[/snapback] Nah. Someone will get hurt in training camp and we'll trade Henry then. Happens every year. Or maybe someone will decide to retire like Wickey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HurlyBurly51 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I highly doubt Travis reports to camp if he is still on the roster at that time. My guess is that he will hold out up until the very last day he needs to report to get credit for his year of service to play out his contract, which I'm guessing but I think its sometime into the season. He don't care about no stinkin fines, he ain't going back to Buffalo and will only show up to collect a paycheck otherwise this cycle would carry on indefinitely.

Mike32282 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Henry will be traded. And LJ Shelton will be a Bill somehow. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Bills cannot execute a trade before the draft, they will let him play a majority of time during preseason games, and its in Travis best interest to do this since he is seeking a long term deal. We would then be able to trade him for a conditional 2006 draft pick like we did with Mike anderson. With Travis's ability we should be able to get a number 1 in next years draft easily but I would be content with a number 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BF_in_Indiana Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I hope we can unload him. I can't believe everyone thought we were going to get real value for a second tier running back. He's a slightly above average running back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
