Trade Rumors? (only Rumors)

I’m calling BS on Allbright having a Browns source who actually knows what’s happening 

I'd say it's more likely that some random kid having a boss that is bff with Russ Brandon...and Russ knows this huge plan...and is blabbering about it. But that's maybe just me.

I disagree with this. The durability and concussions is the biggest red flag imo

seems like a very valid point, and one that i hope factors into the decision no matter who it is. i just think that the personality stuff does come into play, at least a bit.

For me it's the combination of the two. The injury history plus his personality makes it for me that he would be more willing to walk away from the game early

The funny part about that, there is more conjecture leaning in favor of the kids tweet than Allbright. Especially when Brooks and Jeremiah both tweeted about potential crazy trade.

Darnold screams big swing  “franchise QB” for a team like the Bills. He’s super humble, and small town even though from Cali. Head down “process” guy. Has a ton of talent including pocket awareness, improvisation  and playing being a bad OL. I have no doubt they have locked down on him. He’s a bit raw, but also only 20. He seems to be really focused on Football. I think they feel he’s the right “fit.” I think they want to build a team around him. He’s the only one they went to watch live 3x. Just my observation.

My gf is due next Saturday and I have this feeling that I will have to choose between watching our child being born or the draft. I mean it is our second kid and I was there for the first one!  There is a tv in the room though.

Congrats!

 

Mine is due in mid May, no early arrivals!

Congrats gentleman. Hopefully your kids are born into a world where the Bills have a franchise QB!

Not in the least.

 

With access to these talking heads via Twitter, they have been asked about this rumor since last week. It's like the old "telephone game" one person say one thing and by the time it comes back the whole narrative is different. Common sense will tell you that's really all this is. I understand being hopeful and just itching to believe in SOMETHING going down. 

 

If you read back through that kids whole story there are at least 5 times that it's easy to see that this is a made up story. Read his whole timeline...he's never successfully leaked any of this supposed information his GM has had. Not even the Incognito issue...which he claimed to know ahead of time.

i don't necessarily fear the personality, but concussions are no joke. but every qb gets their fair share, even with the rules to protect them in place. i would definitely take all of the above into consideration, and i would bet a whole lot of money that the staff has done all that and more for all of these guys.

After reflecting on it over the weekend and watch some film on him and looking at him as a person, not just you.  As I said this morning, I think he's their #1 guy.  Allen is a close 2nd.

It makes a lot of sense. The question is if the Browns can convince themselves that Allen or whoever else is worth it over Darnold. If they decide they're fine with someone else we'll get to #1 and draft him, no doubt in my mind.

 

Also if the Giants really like Darnold I doubt we get to 1 because they won't let us get him. So it really depends on 2 teams willing to let Darnold go.

I have a feeling that the Browns want Allen. Fwiw they are pumping up Tyrod big time as the starter, Allen is going to sit for awhile. It’s a decent strategy. They have Haley who may look at him as a future Big Ben.

Thanks for the heads-up - he's on next...

I listen to the kids on the night cap frequently ... way better than the old guys in the afternoon plus they replay all the pertinent stuff from the other shows throughout the day.

I follow Allbright but his smugness is getting to the point of overbearing.

 

The guy is starting to feel like an inflated incarcerated bob.

I think Bob has more sources honestly. He’s a wayyy more annoying personality though.

- Rumor that he heard from a couple people

 

- Talk at the combine that the Bills / Giants were talking about a trade.  Giants didn't want to move too far down (not to 12)

 

- Hearing more that the Browns want Josh Allen, they can monetize

 

- That's how the trade came to be discussed.  maybe just in the media.

 

- Def talks for #2

 

- If have a conviction for Darnold, go to and get your guy 

 

- The Giants are committing to Eli, so don't want a QB

 

- Would make sense if the Browns think they can move down.  If the Browns are going for Allen, the Bills would love to move up for Darnold.

 

-  Cost:12 & 22 / future pics or our 2nd rounders.  If you're the Giants and going to stick with Eli, the future pics would have value.

 

-  If the Giants don't want a QB and they've been talking to the bills for a month, this trade makes sense.

He says he has heard from 3 different sources that a 3 way trade between Bills, Giants and Browns is being discussed. He says the Bills-Giants trade from 12 to 2 was discussed months back but the giants don’t want to go all the way to 12. The Browns May want Allen and think they can monetize that by trading to 2 and still getting him. 

 

Nothing new other than it appears he has heard this from more than just that kid on twitter whose boss has connections at OBD.

I like the ideas floating around TBD to trade both 1st round picks and pick up a bunch of 2nd and 3rd rounders.  Especially since first rounders are such a crap shoot.

I think they mean boths firsts And our seconds or next years picks. and Beanes next male child

There is enough to these rumors that I think we end up with the number one overall. It may cost two firsts, two seconds, and next years first, but if the Browns are set on Allen, it only makes sense to move back and take him at four.

lol the browns don't even know who they are drafting. This is what their draft room looks like Image result for throwing darts at a board gif

Tbh I’m getting the impression the Browns will draft a QB just to say they drafted one. They don’t care how soon he plays. They are all excited about winning some games with TT. I mean imagine if you were 1-31

 

Btw they were assigned room 131 at the Indy hotel for their combine meetings. That’s ice cold.

After seeing all this stuff and hearing the radio guys discuss it, I'm feeling like the Bills move up will be to 5,6, or 7. I don't think they can get into the top 4. 

A part of me feels like, buffalo will try to get the first or second overall, if they dont they know they could potentially trade up to five and still land one of the four.

Question for you guys on these rumors.  IF (yes a big IF) these rumors about a 3-way trade discussion are really taking place, what are the chances that the deal gets finalized vs not going through?  I would think if they really are discussing it, and it made its way to the media, then the deal would basically be done.  Is that a wrong assumption?

I say - given the people involved and they seem comfortable with each other as long as everyones back gets scratched it goes thru.....now where the chips land and at what cost? The Devil is i the details.....
