Yeah. It is a good trade. Got a 5th and 6th next year for a player buried on depth chart (was drafted for a 5th). 

 

So so we got better value than where he was drafted. And he wasn’t making the team so smart Trade. 

 

 

 

People keep saying this and skipping one part of the trade, as leaving it out makes the return look better.

 

They didn't just trade Teller, they traded Teller and a 7th for that 5th and 6th. So you could call it Teller for a 5th as well as the difference between a 6th and a 7th, which is damn little, but not nothing.

 

IMO it comes down to their belief that they were going to cut him and weren't confident they could get him back for the practice squad. I think they'd have loved to get him back, but weren't sure it would be possible.

 

It's an interesting trade. Reasonable for both sides.

Great trade. Guy is a 2-3 string at best. He’s a stand and block guy that can do good against inferior defensive tackles. his stats this preseason show no pressures given up. He played against mostly guys that won’t even be on a team. 

 

Beane tricked the Browns into 5th and 6th picks. Which means he is going to most likely start for them. Poor Browns. Good for us.

You don’t trade a 5th and 6th for someone who isn’t viewed as a starter at G. 

They have no one close to starter level right now to play RG. At least teller has started games, Browns were desperate. Shouldn’t have traded zeitler

A cut Saturday now a 5th and 7th.  Goes to show the improved interior lineman play.  He was the best interior lineman on the roster a year ago.  Looks like Dawkins will be the only lineman on the roster from a year ago.

I liked Teller and thought he was a good, young developmental lineman.  That said, the quality of the roster is such that capable players are going to be cut this year, so if Teller was going to be cut, better to get something in exchange for him.  I guess I have to trust Bills management.  Their roster moves in the last couple of years seemed to have worked out in our favor.  I was disappointed when they traded Watkins and Darby (obviously much higher-profile moves than this one), but those moves proved to work out well for us, so I will go on faith that this one will work out too.

Interesting how?

Interesting because we are giving them a player that could potentially help them against us. Although in this case it's negligible.

I think that something that shouldn't be overlooked here is that good NFL rosters are never stagnant... Could Teller have been a decent guard to develop? Probably. But you don't get far in the League by holding onto developmental guys and continuing to try to get them to work. We did this for so many years during the drought. You see what they can offer you this year, and if it's not much, and the risk of losing value by getting rid of them is minimal, you do it. You especially do it when you get value for it. There will likely be a Wyatt Teller type player in the 5th next year, and there might even be a Matt Milano.

I literally just said this to a co-worker... 2 picks for a guy that was going to get cut, or at best be lowest on the depth chart? I'll take it.

 

Reminds me of the time he got a pick for Newhouse. I don't know how the hell Beane pulls this crap off.

 

Newhouse had skills in right scheme. He played well enough for Packers in two seasons when he played LT.
