Desert Bills Fan Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 On Saturday, April 2, Cover 1 host Greg Thompsett suggested a trade proposal that could ultimately land Bradberry in Buffalo, while also clearing room for a veteran defensive end to be re-signed. Thompsett tweeted, “Ok… hear me out… [Bills general manager] Brandon Beane trades AJ Epenesa to NYG for James Bradberry… and then just re-signs Jerry Hughes.” Not the worst idea I have heard lately. What do you think? 1 1 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeaneBandit Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Slow down freak show lol....no you're right not the worst idea but Bradberry struggles vs the type of WR in our division. The small blazers get him but he is definitely good vs bigger WR. So I'm kinda 50/50 on him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think? That has less credence than a rumor - it's just a "proposal" . Anyone can create one and it means nothing until there is at least some basis to it.

jwhit34 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 I could see the Bills trading Epenesa and their first to move up. They might have to have some other picks in it but that could be the core of it. There has been speculation that they are looking to trade a pick and a veteran. I don't see a starter level vet but positions where there is depth like DE I could see trading Epenesa or Basham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) In fairness, a few people actually mentioned similar type trades on here weeks ago. Not saying that this is where Cover 1 got the idea, but it’s possible. 🤷♂️ 1 hour ago, HurlyBurly51 said: Wouldn't surprise me at all if Beane and Schoen end up working something out.

Logic Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) Everyone’s giving the topic creator crap for calling an idea a rumor. Meanwhile, the idea itself is actually a good one, IMO. You can’t convince me that Bradberry + Hughes wouldn’t do more to help the Bills win games than AJ Epenesa. Has Epenesa shown anyone ANYTHING to convince them he’s gonna break out in year three?! Meanwhile, Bradberry has shown to be a high level corner in the type of defensive scheme we play, and Hughes offers a lot more pass rush juice (and leadership) than AJ.

In order for the Bills to make everything fit under the salary cap, “They’d need to create a small amount of space through restructures… but not a ton,” Thompsett noted. However, the big question is how much would the Giants would be willing to knock off Bradberry’s contract. Giants Wire’s Dan Benton noted, “The team would eat $11.28 million in dead space if Bradberry were designated a pre-June 1 release and get nothing in return, so there’s at least some financial wiggle room here,” depending on they can get in return.
