I’d rather just trade down in the first round. Obviously need a partner but we may be in the perfect spot to do so. Don’t waste the cap space while we are trying to make the playoffs next season. If we were 0-16, sure.

Not sure why we need to even consider this.  For once in 20+ years the Bills are set in the QB department. Where would Bortles fit in?

I'd take Blake Bortles off the Jags' hands for their 2nd and 5th round picks.

That's an awful lot to pay.   You can sign a free agent that would be better than that second round pick for the Bortles money.

Cleveland only got a 2nd, and I believe Osweiler made more. And gave back a late 4th. Why would Buffalo get more?

You cut him on final cut-downs.  Or trade him to someone else.

Cleveland cut Osweiler.

That's a different story if Cleveland wants Bortles, then fine, I don't care what Cleveland does.  I took the OP to mean Buffalo to bring in Bortles, which I would be against as it is totally unnecessary.

This would not make sense for where the bills are at. Cleveland was in the year two of a tear down and had around $120 million in cap and no one on the roster that they needed to re-sign. Josh allens contract is competitive advantage and trading for Bortles would handy cap the Bills ability to build a contender in the next 2 years.

Blake Bortles.  

 

Why????   

 

 

He’s not that good.  And with a high salary not worth it

Hmmm, interesting scenario.  We certainly have the cap room to do it.  I dont know his contract details...what is the size and length of it?  Also, what is the cap hit if we trade for him and then cut him?  Would it just be dead cap space this year?  If so, I would absolutely trade for him and get their 2nd and 5th round picks.  We got cap room to have some dead money this year in exchange for a 2nd and a 5th.  But if it screws the cap up for a couple years, then less interested.
