Buffalo_Stampede Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Once Von is full go we’ll have Rousseau, Miller, Floyd, Lawson, and Jonathan. Jonathan has shown promise. Epenesa’s value won’t be any higher. He’s playing good football. The other option is extending him to pair with Rousseau in the future. With the injuries Epenesa could bring back a solid player to help at CB or LB. 1 4 1 3 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastport bills Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 After his best game as a Bills lineman, you can’t. This could be a huge stopgap solution to Miller’s ramp up and an upgrade in depth. With Milano and Jones down, we need AJ in the worst way. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strive_for_five_guy Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I think it’s a fair question. That’s one position they haven’t necessarily been snakebit completely.

Alphadawg7 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 The only way they trade AJE is if they already decided he isn't a long term plans kind of player. And I doubt they have made that decision after he is having a breakout through these injury opportunities. Him and Groot could anchor our Edge rush a long time if he keeps playing at this level and shows its not just some little short lived hot streak. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norcalbillsfan Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Only way I'd trade epenesa is if the bills FO is truly still all in on a SB this year. You can package him with a pick and get a premium WR2 then maybe. Other wise bills will need his depth and impact plays this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoonerBillsFan Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 No. get Elam off the roster for a box of tape and a 5th next year for all I care. We are going to need him next year when we have to clear a ton of cap space/ have cuts. He and Groot need to be the starting DE's going forward. I don't even know if Von can come back at this point, but with his contract, we might have to keep him. With Von's age and injury history, he will be a situational pass rusher, not an every-down DE so AJ has to stay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SectionC3 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Honestly I just had the same thought. Depends on the return and the purpose. If it’s to accumulate meaningful draft capital to buy a corner or a WR, and if Floyd, Miller, Rousseau, and Jonathan are all healthy … count me in. Sell a strength to address what could be a significant weakness. 1 minute ago, Draconator said: Why? Why post this?

Or is that Rosseau bucks? If it’s going to Groot, trying to flip him for CB/WR/stud off ball LB is not a crazy idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand J Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 No, because I don’t think the return would yield more than his production. The league buys low and I don’t see any GM giving up more than a 4th rounder or some other rotational/part time player. That’s not going to help the Bills.

Probably a player at the end of a deal like AJ. AJ playing edge would make him a very valuable trade piece. Teams would be very interested.

BADOLBILZ Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Just depends on the deal. If someone wants to give you Bradley Chubb trade value...........absolutely. If Ryan Poles wants to trade you his 2024 second rounder for him? Yes. A potential late 2nd rounder to a contender? Would have to be upgrading elsewhere at the same time. 3rd rounder of any kind? Forget it. If Epenesa has a big year they could end up getting a late 3rd round comp pick for him in 2025 so juicing early not worth the squeeze. Before the season I was envisioning Gabe Davis and Epenesa being swapped at the deadline with the Bills upgrading at WR but I think there is going to be a lot of good players available at the deadline which will lower their trade value. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALLinALLEN Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 All the “no’s” understand he’s on the last year here right? He’ll be a UFA and the way he’s playin - demand a ton of money.

Aussie Joe Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 You may as just well broadcast they have given up on the season… If he keeps playing like this then someone will pay him and they will get a third round comp pick in 2025 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) No. If anything I’d look to extend him to a backloaded contract to keep him as a building post Von with Rousseau and Oliver. Edited October 9, 2023 by SCBills 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
