Schefter: "If I had to guess on the biggest name that moves next week is LeSean McCoy"

Love Shady but can definitely see this happening.  No TDs this year, YPC pretty average and big cap hit in 2019.  A team in the hunt will be glad to pull him in and use him as a bell cow or 3rd down specialist.

 

Daboll has NE pedigree where the RBs and WRs are replaceable pieces.  Personally I think RB is easiest spot to replace via draft.  And Murphy/Ivory could be serviceable backfield for rest of the season.  

 

Wonder if Allen's prognosis is taken into consideration.  If out another 4-6 weeks then Shady is a goner IMHO.

Getting a 3rd or 4th would make me happy. Strike while there is some type of value

Absolutely.  We have the leverage here, I think, so I'd hold out for a 3rd or even more, if Beane can pull it off.

 

But if we can get a 3rd, he's gone faster than you can say "Shady".

White is a better player than McCoy currently. He also plays a much more valuable position.

Exactly, I would trade him for a 7th just to be rid of the contract. This year is done and Shady is certainly not part of the future (whether he is till good now or not.)

I agree, I was for trading McCoy last year when he had more value...I don't think he's going to get much of a pick as it stands. Nobody's beating down the door to sign a 30 year old back coming off a concussion. 

 

The bummer of it for me is that I would have liked to see him play out his contract. But the dead cap certainly points to either this season or the offseason as the time to look into moving him. He was a really good player for the Bills, I initially didn't like the move but he changed my mind 100%. Always seemed committed to giving his best on the field.

trade your best player?

 

seems like a present bills move.

 

smh

 

6 games 244 yards rushing 3.9 average, 85 yards receiving and 0 td's on the season. Yeah we will really miss that production. 

 

 

I'd trade him for a 6th or 7th just to rid us of the $9 million cap hit next season.

A sixth rounder is fine. Get rid of his salary.

 

Huh? 

 

The Bills already have like $90 million in cap space for next season. They are not going to use up all of that cap space next year. So Shady’s cap hit is a total non-issue. 

 

Trading our best player on offense for a 6th would be terrible.

Sell low, huh? McCoy's value has to be the lowest it has ever been.

 

Can't expect to get more than a 5th for him. He's been injured all year and has had almost no production.

We have no leverage. We have an injured 30 year old running back with no production to speak of this year.

I think you would see a resurgence in him in Green Bay. Teams wouldn't be able to load the box against him. He could really tip things in Green Bays favor in the NFC North. They have two firsts, I'd trade a first for him if I felt it gave us a Super Bowl.

Clay, miller, mills, Shaq, Hughes, Lorax, Groy

 

Good chance that at least 4 of them are gone next year too.

 

I think that Hughes and Shaq could stay if they play well for the rest of the season, and I suppose there's a chance that LorAx will get re-signed for a cheap veteran sum, but I can't see anyone else from that list being back with the team in 2019

I saw a rumor that GB has called the Bills about him twice 

 

I could see GB being interested, as could Seattle, Philadelphia, or Washington.

Honestly I love Shady, but I think this would be the best move for all.  He is not going to make a difference on this team and I honestly want to see Murphy get a lot more touches before the end of the season so we know just how good he is and what we need to do at the position going forward.
