Bills get: Jimmy G Reskins get: John Miller & Bills 2nd 49ers get: Cousins, Bills 1st It’s all predicated on whether the Niners actually wanted Cousins all along. If they did and still do, it’s plausible. If they want Pizza Boy, it’s not plausible because they have the exclusive tag and a billion dollars in cap space at their disposal.

If Bills want Garapollo then they need to give Washington a 1st or they won't send him to 49ers and 49ers won't send Garapollo to the Bills. 49ers could wait for Cousins to hit the Market and not sign Jimmy but then there's no guarantee Jimmy comes to Buffalo. If the Bills want Jimmy then the only way to guarantee it and avoid a bidding war is to send a pick to Washington to put this all into motion. Nobody knows if it's a 1st or if it's a player or what it is. But you best believe that if the Bills want him they have to give up something to put this into motion and lock him in. He's not coming here otherwise. But anyhow, there is a 99% chance this is facebook BS so who cares You're right I'm sure it's horse puckey but oh man the Look on BB's face if it went down when he tried to get Jimmy G far from here and it back fires would be priceless.

Right - if they always wanted Cousins (which is what we all thought before that Jimmy G trade went down) then it’s ridiculously smart to do this. If they want to stick with Jimmy now, they can. They really have their choice (if Cousins wants to go there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If some team thinks he’s worth it, they can franchise him and turn their 2nd rd pick into 2 firsts and sign cousins in FA. Everyone knows the Browns were trying to actively trade for him for months. They could easily flip him there if they chose to. Im not saying that is why they traded for him, but if they wanted Cousins all along, that would be why. It would give them great leverage and options. Edited February 8, 2018 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobH063 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Nothing new on Facebook about this but I was just reading on The FacePlace that the Bills are willing to give up both 1st round picks in this 3 team trade because there's also a blockbuster trade happening that is just now being reported. It involves the Bills and 31 other NFL teams all trading players and picks. In the end, the Bills wind up with the first 17 picks in this years draft AND Jimmy G.

Gugny Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I really don't think this is far-fetched, at all. http://www.pressdemocrat.com/sports/7941206-181/grant-cohn-alex-smith-trade "I count five teams that would kill to have Garoppolo: the Buffalo Bills, New York Jets, Cleveland Browns, Denver Broncos and Arizona Cardinals. The 49ers can give Garoppolo the franchise tag on March 14, then trade him to one of those five teams before the draft. At minimum, the Niners probably would receive two first-round picks, a second-round pick and a third-round pick. And then, the Niners can sign Cousins. He may be even better than Garoppolo, who has started only seven games in his career. Cousins has started 57. He is a proven commodity. His 99.7 passer rating since 2015 ranks fourth highest in the NFL behind Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Matt Ryan during that period." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it for what it’s worth. The question here is "just what does that person in the know, actually know?" I think what this person on Facebook knows, is how to propagate rumors. I think it's a valid concern that if the Redskins franchise Cousins after trading for Alex Smith, he and his agent will file a grievance and it will take months to sort out. I want no part of that.

JaCrispy Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Whatever happens I think it is safe to say Beane will leave no stone unturned when it comes to QB this year...it’s about time this team made QB a top priority...the whole reason trading away our top players was ok was the hope that we would finally get our QB- not just fill other positions with those picks.

The value is with the younger player with high potential than the guy who has reached his ceiling. Also, Garopolo will sell tickets. Can you imagine the fanbase reaction (after getting a dizzying taste of JG) when they hear "oh nevermind, Kirk Cousins is coming"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting Garoppolo, instead, is a no-brainer to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
