Hapless Bills Fan Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 1 hour ago, C.Biscuit97 said: Haha. I actually did like Trent Edwards for awhile. ? but I was never a fan of the Murphy signing. But normally, go with Stanford guys. If they fail, it won’t be because of lack of effort. Jonathan Martin 53 minutes ago, dave mcbride said: The Bills would have 3 Stanford guys on their d-line -- which is crazy. Why the dislike of Trent? The season he was healthy for Washington, he was really good, and while he was banged up last year, he did flash. If he was healthy, no dislike, agree with you. He has a PED suspension. PED use and chosen training facility/methods (apparently known as PED Central with the bodybuilder crowd) has created an injury-prone underperformer for whom we overpaid. Now, if we got him to train for flexibility and reduced injury risk and he still works out, I take it all back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swap with Houston, 9, 2020 2nd, and a 5th for Clowney, #23 and a late pick. Trade a 4th for Solomon Thomas. Or perhaps trade them Zay Jones for Thomas straight up. Maybe play Thomas as a 3 tech full time. Trade Jerry Hughes to the Giants for a 2020 3rd, or the opportunity to trade up from 23 to 17. Or trade up in the second round. James Bettcher Connection.

He's a solid player...but he doesn't get sacks and that has been the issue. I think he projects better in our defense whether he plays end or tackle.

It would solve our 3T problem right out of the gate, leaving our two picks available for other positions.

Rufridr101 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 What's his salary. Probably pretty high being a high pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was playing end. this year they used him as more of a tackle, and he was better, but still did not generate sacks. I think he's a better fit in the McDermott system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His supposed lack of effort could very well be due to clinical depression. I could see McDermott's Bills being a very good environment for him.

He won't make a ton because the 9ers are going to eat the cap hit. I think his salary is like 3 million this year. I think it would be higher next season.

So 2yr 7 mil with an option year that we wouldn't pick up unless he turned into a great player - not a rotational piece. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lynch is thinking he’s getting anything more than a fifth for Thomas he’s crazy. If we're giving up picks for Dlineman then Gerald McCoy is the guy I want. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure - it wasn't included in the dead money number the 49ers would assume upon a release/trade - but usually these contracts are fully guaranteed.
