Or one of our 5ths....both are higher than Baltimore's. I'm assuming Beane inquired about it, maybe didn't want to give an extension to a 33 year old, idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like great teams are always trading crappy picks for great players, and the Bills never do. I would not make that trade for Campbell and would have been pretty surprised if Beane did 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Round Bust Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 ravens have 19M in cap space and have to allocates 7.6M for draft space; calais is 34 and his salary is 15M so an extension will be needed to drive that down but he made the pro bowl; Judon franchise tag costs 16M; so they have to get creative...lets see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Jags needed him off the books so weren’t going to hang around and wait to see if they could do better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize he was older, for someone reason I thought he was younger. That is my bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 perhaps prevents Balt from getting the Browns LB that we want, or Yannik--assuming the Jags let him go eventually. Or Armstead, etc. Or Littleton, LB Rams! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeastMaster Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Baltimore can have a old, declining player on a big money deal. Bills will continue to build with younger, cheaper players that have promise 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People worried about Hughes getting older yet he’s older than Hughes and has a big contract. It’s a one year deal. The only potential downside to trading for him would be the opportunity cost of spending $15 million of our cap space on him but he’s literally one of the best players in the league at his position so we probably couldn’t have done any better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) Go for a young DJ Reader who is good at run defense. If they can't sign him and Shaq they may have to draft a DE at 22. Could Texans DT D.J. Reader end up with the Bills? https://texanswire.usatoday.com/2020/03/13/texans-d-j-reader-bills/ Edited March 15, 2020 by ALF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why they got him for a 5th. This was a cap dump. 5 minutes ago, ScottLaw said: And yet cap space isn’t a concern whatsoever..... Bills need to make moves for guys like this one with FA approaching....at times I fear McBeane are too conservative. He’s better than anything this team has at pass rusher..... come on. Don’t we say this every offseason when we lose out on a FA/don’t make a trade? He's not that good anymore. That's the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we don’t need a one year rental. We aren’t 1 34 year old DE from a SB. And everyone freaking out about this hasn’t considered we haven’t begun FA or draft yet. How do you know we won’t find a better and longer term player? I mean, I’m not losing sleep we didn’t pickup a 34 DE for one year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Chris Jones, but between paying a fine young man in his prime and an older gent who can give a few years at a cheaper rate than Jones (with our cap situation, a team ready to compete and a QB on a rookie deal), sign me up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
