Recommended Posts

Someone tweeted at Joe Buscaglia claiming to have a source in the building at OBD that we are going to be making a blockbuster trade sending our 1st for an RB

 

IF that were true, what do you guys think?

 

1st, Moss for Saquon Barkley, 4th

1st, Moss for Christian McCaffrey

 

my darkhorse would be Dalvin Cook

 

does anyone know if $ can be retained on a deal? Or how does that work

Not buying it. No way Bean moves a 1st for a RB. 

If people are going to make up crap and try to sell it as valid…..they need to make up better crap.  A first for any RB with a big contract or in a contract year is not happening.  This is not baseball and none of these guys is Max Scherzer or Juan Soto.

If we did that for Mcaffrey…it’d be an awesome move. He could add an element to our offense that could make us indefensible. All firsts are not equal and at this point, ours should most likely be in the 30’s. It could be the move that pushes us over the top for a Super Bowl and if that happens, none of us are going to give a ***** about the draft. That’s just the reality. All that being said: I bet no chance it actually happens

Who are we cutting? His cap hit over the next two years (2023 and 2024) 19.5 million dollars.

That could have been ME for all you know. I am not to be trusted. Ask anyone who knows me. 

 

Isn’t his contract almost up? I’m a “no” on 1st round RB’s unless it’s someone far better than an oft injured Barkley and cheap.

I get the running back part, but in some cases like CMC if Carolina is eating a lot of the money it’s not the worst idea. I highly doubt he’s worth a 1st rounder right now though. 
I don’t see how they maneuver the cap mid season to fit any contract of significance in though. I know they can free some space up, but I don’t think that’s something they’re gonna unless it’s an emergency.

Just now, Chaos said:

People act like first round picks are always for Josh Allen and never for Aaron Maybin.  If Barkley could be obtained, along with a contract extension, for a first it would be an easy decision. 

 

It would be an easy NO for me. I don’t want a super expensive RB, especially a guy who is always hurt. We need 1st round picks for cheaper talent, guys like Rousseau who will produce and bring our cap cost down for 5 years. No interest in an expensive addition who likely (according to history) will spend lots of time on IR and visiting the trainers.

There's no point trading a 1st for a RB is our O Line isn't going to give him space to run into. Singletary and, especially, Moss do a fine job running into opposition players as it is.

 

Nobody hates the hypothetical trade threads more than I do. It’s usually virtually a 0% chance of happening, and it’s for a splashy name people have heard of. 

 

IF I were to trade our 1st round pick, it might be for several picks in rounds 2-4 where we can use them to beef up the OLine. THAT would pay some dividends, I believe.

I agree our most pressing need is a quality guard.  Bills need a short yardage back too.   Beane has constructed this roster so masterfully, thats the only two areas we could have big improvement IMO.  Saquan and/or ODB are buttercream frosting on cake.  D gets all the big signings and high draft pick.  Josh has been a good boy.  Lets get him some toys!

How will Bills pay for these imaginary trades? They have about 1.6 million in cap space.  If they acquired a player in a trade they would have to pay about 10 weeks of his salary.

Who the hell could they realistically acquire that would be an upgrade AND affordable?

salary cap is an temporary illusion, easily manipulated

Sounds like total BS to me.

Why do this to yourself....you know this stuff never happens

 

I think they are hoping that if they turn over enough stones………your wallet will eventually turn up. Don’t be an ingrate!

Agreed.  If we part with a 1st, we better get a top notch WR or an almost all pro IOL/RT.
 

Saquon looks better than ever.  But our OL still can’t run block.  It’s not our RB’s fault our run game blows
