turftoe Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I think Gruden would have his eye set on Peterman. Throw in Lawson and a 1st rounder and a deal could be done. Mack can rush from either side of the line. Gruden loves Peterman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklabel Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) I used to immediately discredit just about anything I read coming from LaCanfora, especially if it was about the Bills. However, he had the Rex firing news weeks before it went down and also had the Whaley firing news around that same time. Since then he's also hit on a few other Bills news-bits before anyone else had. He's clearly got someone in the know with the Bills that tips him off so, while this rumor isn't exactly earth-shattering because it's been floating around for a while now that Mack might end up on the trade block, it's interesting to see an "official" source name the Bills as an interested party. I gotta imagine the asking price is astronomical at this point, plus whichever team lands him is going to have to keep him happy by sending a fleet of loaded Brinks trucks to his house and unloading a few bazillion dollars onto his lawn.

Deranged Rhino Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 If Peterman is a piece that turns into Mack, he will be the greatest Bills QB since Kelly in terms of what he brought to the Bills. 2 minutes ago, turftoe said: I think Gruden would have his eye set on Peterman.

And he’s said he won’t play under it. Yeah, Mack is on the fifth year option but Allen isn't making much money right now. The fact that Mack is on the 5th year option doesn't really mean anything. Since Allen is on his rookie deal, it wouldn't matter if we're paying Mack a lot this season or any of the next 3 seasons after this because Allen is gonna be making next to nothing for the first 4 years of his contract and we have a boatload of cap space starting next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruden loves Peterman Considering that Connor Cook and EJ aren't exactly tearing it up , Peterman may be an attractive insurance option for Gruden.

And it might even be possible. Buffalo might be holding off waiting to see how Allen does Sunday before pulling the trigger on such a deal. ...oh, I can hope, can't I?

Well yeah, everyone knows that. Basically, he would be making Josh Allen QB money until Josh Allen himself makes QB money so really it evens out. You can have the best defensive player in the league for at least the next 4 or 5 seasons and then if Allen pans out and we have to pay him then you decide what to do with Mack at that point 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then if Murphy ever gets healthy, this defense will just be a Biscuit away. You would almost have to include Hughes's big contract so you can pay the guy, then offer next year 2nd and following season 2nd & 3rd. Why do we have to give up a first? what did we get for Sammy ? Trades are rare in the NFL and unless you are trading for QB you never want to give up a first Sorry but at 27 he may only have 3 good seasons left, so (2) 2nd round picks and a 3rd but no first Edited August 24, 2018 by Niagara Dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I think we are undervaluing the talent of Mack somewhat. The first player ever to be named All Pro at two different positions? And he's just in his prime as a player? He's a rare, transcendent player; the guy an offense has to account for before EVERY snap. We don't have anyone like that on our defense. As such, I think the minimum price will be what we paid for Biscuit back in the day and, imo, he's worth it seven ways to Sunday. Polian's formula still stands today; if you think you have your QB, then you get a player who can get to the opponent's QB. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
