I wanted to provide an imaginary example that provided the appropriate value. 4 - 5 first rounders might be appropriate. If I you had a gun to my head and demanded "trade Josh", this is the type of deal I'd pursue. Why do you hate Josh??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinky finger Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 20 hours ago, TheElectricCompany said: Pure hypothetical, because that makes this more fun. The Bills and Saints have completed a trade: Saints receive: Josh Allen, QB Bills receive: 2021 1st round pick 2022 1st round pick 2022 3rd round pick 2024 1st round pick Alvin Kamara, RB Andrus Peat, G Fun? I guess, if winning isn't the objective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Honestly, if Josh slept with a girl I was dating or my future wife, I probably wouldn't get mad. Girls come and go, a Super Bowl memory is forever. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjd1001 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Herbert, Kyler Murray, and maybe Burrow....all of them if there was something else coming the Bills way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That law went as follows: if anyone were to kill or steal a cat that had not yet killed a mouse, its value was fourpence. But if a cat were stolen or killed after it had proven itself as a mouser, it was to be held by its tail over an empty floor, head downwards so that its forepaws just touched the floor. Grain was then to be poured around the cat until the tip of its tail was completely covered. That was its value. (This would produce a substantial mound of grain) In any trade for Josh, use a variant of the procedure for loss of a mouse-killing cat. Use Gold instead of grain. Hold Josh head down by one ankle so his fingertips just brush the floor, and keep pouring gold until his pointed toe-tips are covered. Hywel's law does not specify, in the case of a stolen cat, how to persuade the creature to cooperate with dangling head-down by its tail while the grain is poured. A similar caveat might apply to this trade procedure for Josh. If compensation can not be properly determined, the trade is OFF. Oxygen supply should be assured for health and safety during the compensation procedure. I really think this would be a great trade. Can't believe no one else picked up on this. I'm sure any problems inherent in trying to dangle a guy upside down who can pancake half a ton of NFL front-seven in less than 5 seconds could be overcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not anyone. 32 out of 32 GMs would take Mahomes right now and while I can't blame them they're all wrong. I disagree with this. I don't believe Beane or McDermott or Daboll would take Mahomes over Allen right now. And there might be a few more GM's that might actually prefer Allen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Tim Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 If Josh said I want out I would consider Burrows as a straight swap, or with Jets for their next 3 first and Q Williams as a minimum. I figure that is Trevor, Williams and two extra firsts which hopefully comes close to Josh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBear Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Maybe Mahomes, but I'd view that as a wash with Josh's current trajectory. In addition to his once in a generation physical skills, Josh has special leadership skills that aren't easily replaced. I'd possibly consider a trade that would net us Trevor Lawrence and 3 additional first round picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Mahomes would be the only player I would trade Josh for. Now I do think that Wilson, Rodgers and one of two other QB's might be better but I think that if I am designing a fit for this system and environment only Mahomes is over Josh.

SinceThe70s Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 What would it take for me to trade Josh? A lobotomy. We've been waiting to find our guy at QB since 1997 and it finally appears that the search is over. I'm not interested in starting over even if it meant the potential of Trevor Lawrence. Allen has started to realize his potential and I'm all in to see how far he's able to take it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I wouldn’t trade Allen for Mahommes, and here is why. Mahommes has the biggest contract in history. And while he DESERVES it, it’s one that may be problematic as the years go by in terms of balancing out the roster. If Allen continues to ascend into top 3 status, he will be in line for his own mega deal. But my gut tells me that winning and playing in Buffalo are priorities one and two on his list and that he will be more likely to get paid but in a more team friendly contract to help insure Beane has more opportunities to keep the best roster possible around him. So as we sit here today, I wouldn’t entertain any trade offers for Josh. There isn’t anyone who is a better fit IMO for this team than Josh right based on how he is playing and what he means to this team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddo Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Mahomes plus Andy Reid. The apprentice is not at the level of the master yet. Also, they are a proven winning combination. Tbh even then I would have to think very hard about it. Allen simply seems to be the right fit for Buffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I’d trade him for a Herbert and a couple first rounders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
