I would 100% take him for a 3rd. 
He’s unhappy there with their scheme this year and what he’s asked to do. Salary is tough to squeeze in. 

 

How did the Broncos w Miller? Just curious I know Denver is picking up half the salary or a bit more but still, I thought Denver was in a similar cap area to us

Why would he dislike that? 
Goes from a Philly dumpster fire to a playoff team and a good defense? He stays fresh and healthy. He’s not a 24 year old guy playing for his first contract or anything.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Bills bundle Obada and a pick(s) to go after a top end O lineman.


 

The problem with this thread, and the problem in general Ingo is that it gets our minds wandering.  Actually, it gets us fantasizing about the potential out there.

 

It’s like draft day.  You can think about a ton of different prospects, but in the end when you have one pick in a round that’s the only pick you get, like it or not.

 

…and in this instance we don’t even know if we have a pick!

Folks you would think we would have learned by now.  Beane's trades tend to be no'see'ums... It's never who the internet thinks it is.  He works deep in the Bat Cave crunching numbers on the Bat Computer.

You don’t think they can fit in Cox?  Seems like they could slide him right into where one of the Johnsons used to play.

 

 

 

 

(See now THAT is how you do it folks - if you’re gonna try to be funny and juvenile, DO IT RIGHT.  I come here to be  informed or at the very least entertained.)

Maybe he is a “me first” guy who wants 90% of the defensive snaps instead of 60-70%?

They will stand pat.  There are no glaring holes on the team.  

I keep pounding the table..even if the phones are ringing doesn't mean deals will happen.............If one does I hope Beane fleeces em........otherwise stay put.

He would like it, I'm guessing. Get rid of Phillips and/or Butler and you can rotate Oliver/Cox/Lotulelei/Zimmer. All of a sudden our interior d-line looks elite. As someone else mentioned he has almost no cap hit this year.

This is my thinking..  Buffalo spends too much time building a team, a culture and managing the cap (for long term) to blow it up on trade deadline day.    Sure in the early days when they had assets to sell, but not now.  I don't see it happening.  I can almost predict the press conference.  "Sure we had some things we were interested in, but the price and fit wasn't right for the team." ....

Were you one of those “diggs is a diva” guys too?

Yes it's a problem.  and Yes, because it's fun to fantasize.


 

It is a blast.

….but when it’s over and the result is you’re left by the car with your shirt askew, alone (no player, no picks) and have to ask yourself, “wait, what did I just do?”

A winning culture. Adding a player that will help you win does not blow it up. If that is the case there is really nothing built if it can implode that easily.

I think we would rotate players less if we had stars like Cox. We rotate them because 60% for Hughes and 40% for AJE gives us better product than 80% and 20%. But if we had guys like Bosa or Cox, no way we use same rotation as now.

 

If Oliver becomes next Donald next year he will see 80%+ snaps imo.

One thing to keep in mind that's relevant is that the Bills with and draft picks given up in a trade is that worse case are picking in the late 20's in 1st round, so if we trade a 3rd round pick today for an impact player at a position of need it's more like a 4th round pick.

 

Same is true for the Rams deal for Von Miller, they basically gave up an early 3rd and 4th rounder with the 2nd/3rd rounders they traded.

how would making a trade blow it up?

I get your point that our picks will be late in respective rounds but otherwise your (and not only your, it is often used here) narrative is weird.

 

Late 1st round is late 1st round, and not "basically 2nd round".
