Boatdrinks Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I think a trade for a quality CB is necessary to compete. A decent LB will do, but need more at the corner spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You HAVE to do something if you’re still a Super Bowl contender. At the very least it sends a message to the team “we aren’t done.” They signed free agents. Which free agent DTs would you like to sign? Suh? Joseph? Which LBs? Which CBs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be that long before Diggs is over the hill and Allen is getting into his 30s. The mantra "keep building for the future" doesn't work when the future is now. Most of the other Super Bowl contenders in recent years made a mid-season trade to fill a hole. We now have several holes - WR2, CB, DT, WLB. From left to right those are positions where I would like to see us make a move. Just one is fine. If we stand pat how can we realistically compete with a team like the 49ers? Barring major injuries, nobody is competing w the 49ers. The Bills season ended today. This was a Championship or bust season, all hopes went out the window with Milano and Jones down for the year and Dorsey still at PC for the year. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd try to use Elam in that trade and make the 1st a 2nd or 3rd plus another later pick. Elam's skillset doesn't work in our D but it may in Denver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked ok at times last year and even had a couple INTs. We just don't have time to wait for him to find himself.

I actually think the guy has some ability based on what he showed last year … Doubt he moves the needle much on a trade at the moment … they still giving up a first for Surtain and more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincyBillsFan Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 45 minutes ago, RyanC883 said: and the 49ers, one may recall, made the move for CMC that we should have. This is a great point. To be fair they paid a steep price and there were real questions about CMC's durability but in hindsight that trade was a home run for the 49's. CMC is the difference in that offense. If Elam is a bust and we've already traded away Cody Ford & Bogie Bashum and not resigned Edmunds then maybe Bean/McD overvalue 1st & 2nd round picks. That is what it will cost to get an impact player in a trade. I just don't see us parting with higher end draft capital though it worked out great for Diggs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Biggest problem we have is like 0 cap space to sign anyone that will make that kind of impact. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know - but they did something they didn’t rely just on in house depth. And we might need to do the same anyway. What about Akeim Hicks? He still available?

I wouldn’t waste another minute, I’d call Denver tonight and say name your price for Surtain…we won’t do anything though and it’s a waste of a thread unfortunately Not necessarily true. Beane went and got Benjamin for a playoff run. Last year he got Hines So he has made some moves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Matter_What Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 6 hours ago, Dr.Sack said: I think you make a deal at the right moment. And that moment is in three weeks. See where the season is at 10/24-10/31. This. Wait and see. Wait until deadline. If we lose 3-4 more players then what is the point. See if there is a chance for Daquan to come back later. See how Bernard and Williams play. See if Elam can get back on track. Evaluate, find the biggest weakness and if a trade is there, do it. Even for a first. Just don't do it now.

Or Dorsey just use him as a distraction to force the ball to Diggs or knox. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
