Bills had deal in place with Colts to trade to 3 before Jets swooped in, per WGR

And then immediately said they'd be open to another trade down.

 

It wouldn't shock me if Beane got off the phone thinking a deal was done, Ballard called up the Jets for one last push, they relented, he called Beane back and Beane told him to respectively eff off.

 

Total speculation. Who knows how things went down, but it's logical to think the Bills were involved.  The Jets have said they began engaging with the Colts all the way back to Senior Bowl week.

It makes no sense for Bills to leak this info.  Just let's Giants and Browns know we're desperate.  Perhaps it's all a smokescreen and Jackson or the guy from Oklahoma St are the real targets.  

 

 

Or we've been frozen out, got double crossed by the Colts and aren't afraid to shine the light on a rat.

It is amazing to me how BLIND some of you want to be to what is happening here.  The COLTS took the Jets offer, not because Buffalo could pay MORE but because the Colts only had to move to 6.  There are some players way up there that INDY really likes that won't be there at 12.  The Colts get the extra picks in a deep draft, and still get at top 3 NON QB.  They didn't WANT the Bills package!  .....and the other thing that is funny is that everyone just assumes that the 2nd pick can be had if the Bills just meet the asking price.....there is no asking price to be met.....the Jets certainly called about it.  If the Giants were in this for a top 3 NON QB, they would have traded out already....They are taking the QB.  ....can't stress this enough....hardest thing to find is a high end, franchise type QB.  Your odds of getting one are much higher at the top end of a draft.  If you think you can get one, you get him.  The Giants have the 2nd pick in a year where there are some guys who many think could be that kind of guy.  If you are the Giants, you do not know where you will draft next year, and surely your scouting department has told you that the 2019 QB crop is garbage...even if ONE guy emerges...will you be in position to get him?  The most value the Giants can get from that pick is to use it this year while they are in position to get their next QB.  They even have the unusual luxury of drafting so high but still having a vet QB in place so the new guy can sit if they are so inclinded.  The Bills will either sit at 12 or trade up to 9 or so for Josh Allen, or gamble on waiting for Mason Rudolph...but that is a huge risk because Arizona, Pittsburg, and the LA Chargers are lurking...the Chargers are especially dangerous to move up on someone.

Their UFA acquisitions look pretty good as well. 

 

Their GM said he didn't want to move out of the top ten. 

 

got rid of Mo with a dead cap of 9 mil for a guy who is a very good d end and now are offering big money to suh to come in. smart decision is to keep suh. also teddy b is a terrible signing as the guy has show about as much as their young qbs.  trumaine johnson is a great signing for that secondary and that group can be nice.  They've ignored the o line and could have made the signing of crowell better...but who would be better carlos hyde or teddy b? hyde. Why not sign some o line?  The jets seem to be winging it.  They have no plan they just kind of act spontaneously

Nate Geary said today in WGR two team sources have told him the bills had a deal in place with the colts to get to 3 and the Jets deal with them really hurt.

 

He also said that's why they traded Tyrod. Not sure if he meant because they knew they were getting to 3 or if the 3rd round pick from Cleveland was a part of the trade package 

 

 

 

Are we running with the reporting for WGR’s weekend part-time radio host?  Not saying it didn’t happen but I will wait till a legitimate journalists reports that info

The Suh interest is a bit puzzling.

The way this sounds though it tells me they were willing to move out of the top 10 until they didn't have to.  It could explain the Press Conference to get out in front of it and Beane's someone disappointing tone as well.  I'm hoping we can make another move but I wouldn't be surprised if we get stuck outside of the top 5.  Cleveland, IMO at 4 is our only hope.  The Giants IMO are just going to take their player at 2.  If all of this about us having a deal in place with Indy is true, then I'd trade with Tampa at 7 before picking up doing a deal with the Colts again at 6.  They screwed us and what makes it sting so much is it was with another divisional opponent.  Sure someone could jump us and offer the Colts a deal and take a QB but I'd say F it.  I'm not doing business with these guys again.

Who knows. They had been talking to the Jets for quite a while.

or did buffalo randomly pick 12 and just assumed 12 and extra picks would be good enough for Indy?  Because if true then Beane is naive and green.

 

Regardless of where we go from here the Glenn trade is a good move up. It stands on it's own as a good trade.
