Clowney is a great player, but do the Bills really need to give up a bunch of assets for one guy, to improve a Defense that’s already very solid? I know they need better depth at LB, but this seems a bit luxurious if you’re trying to build a complete team.

  We are trimming players at a few positions that will likely by signed by other teams.  Might as well get something out of them and if we can sign Clowney long term that is a bonus.

Yea, we’d probably have to throw in picks to outbid Miami, given they have a franchise Tackle they somehow don’t want to keep.  

 

That said, I just can’t wrap my head around it.  I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a team in tank mode make a blockbuster trade like this. 

 

If you believe in a 12 month turnaround instead of multi year, grabbing a pass rusher in his prime makes a ton of sense long term

We could trade a WR (Zay or Foster) since Houston is looking for depth, and either one would be a great #3, plus a RB and a 3rd.    

 

I don’t think a 3 that we are essentially hoping to be end of the third gets it done. 

 

If you think we are we are a good team you have to bump up a round from what we’ve discussed for a long time for value of picks

I'm all for the Clowney trade if we aren't giving up a first, maybe a 2nd.  Clowney would give us the opportunity to possibly have a rare elite defense in this day in the NFL.  The Jags a couple years ago and the Broncos the year they won the Bowl are the only teams I remember recently with an elite level D.  In a year where Luck just retired and a 42 Brady can hit the wall at any time, the Bills could be a legit force.  A playoff birth this season would go a long way for Beane and McDermott's job security.  Go get him.

I think it takes a 2 and a good player.

 

That's why I said last week that Philly makes a ton of sense.

 

They have depth at WR and OT. Peters would make a brilliant one-year stopgap at LT until my boy Tytus Howard is ready. Philly just drafted Dillard and has Lane Johnson and Vaitai as depth.

good point.  I guess it depends on where Houston thinks we finish.  I'd even do a 2nd.

does Philly have cap space after this year.  I have no idea.  

 

But you are correct about their depth.  They have done a great job the past few years stockpiling talent (and winning a SB).

It’ll be Philly.  Alshon or Peters or someone similar.

I'm fine with this, considering the 1st will be 32nd.

 

Jokes aside- if making this move you have to be expecting a bottom 5 or so pick not a top 10 pick - which is a substantial reframing to the discussion
