Trading for an old RB? When your franchise QB needs WR weapons?
 

Either Josh is having a mental breakdown or Beane is. 

or Both

CJ Golson is not a reliable source. Like most on Twitter, he just throws things against the wall that make sense in hopes that one will stick and it "legitimizes" him. He's gotten lucky a couple times but 9.5 times out of 10, he's way off base. He posts stuff like this all the time that goes nowhere.

 

Rule of thumb - if it isn't an official employed reporter, it's bullsh-t. Hell, sometimes even they report BS. But randos on Twitter don't have sources. They just want you to believe they do and prey on people desperate to hear what they want to hear for followers.

Please no. Are they immediately panicking because of Harris?  We've got 4 starting defensive players hurt or IR.  We need a 1T, LB,  CB or WR2 in that order.  We don't have a run blocking OL good enough to justify this.

 

I think they are panicking because of the offensive production even though the defense is gutted. 

 

A 2nd or 3rd for a RB who will want big money to extend seems crazy. This feels very Eagles "Dream Team"-esque. With $33M over the cap next season, stuff like this basically preps us to blow the whole org up and replace everybody.

100% agree. 

 

Mike Schopp said yesterday that 80% of Bills fans would be ok if they sent a 2nd for Henry. 

 

I was like you're out of your mind.

I'd do it. But, I think he goes for a 3rd and maybe a future late round pick. 

 

80%? Yeah, he's out of his mind.

 

Henry's got 10 regular season games left on a 1 year Franchise Tag. A 2nd (even if he agreed to a long term deal, which we wouldn't do) is an insane price for half of a season. More so when you consider the cost is 6.3 million for 10 games

Nobody is giving a first for Hopkins. It will be a late rounder, but the Titans will let him make the choice of where to go. If you were him, what team would you pick. In KC, you get Taylor Swift, ribs, Mahomes, Reid and a SB ring. In Buffalo, you get a b-list actress, snow and “no-film” Josh.

It might not be a late rounder for DHop because of the potential for a bargain price.  Tenn gave a signing bonus so the remaining salary is reduced.  I believe it was this kind of arrangement that had Beane's interest when DHop was with AZ.  But AZ didn't want to eat any salary.

 

I'm hoping Beane is thinking big, a package deal for both - Dhop and King Henry.  Henry would just be a remaining year rental, which looks like around $5M. 

 

DHop I would like to secure for the remainder of this year and two more.  You would get his excellent salary but add to it and extend him 2 more to go beyond Diggs (kind of insurance against Diggs losing it).  This would mean the end is near for Gabe.

 

If our extra third for Edmunds along with Elam could get this done, I would take it.  Maybe go to a 2nd if Tenn eats a huge chunk of the money needed.

Maybe if he had a few years left on his contract? Or maybe we package a 2nd and Elam for Henry and other players? 

 

I think there are a lot of posters on this board who have better NFL GM sense than Schopp and the Bulldog. Of those posters, I probably only agree with half of them. They sound about as knowledgeable about the Bills as Janet Snyder and Nicholas Picholas. Those two dopes are basically bloated morning, drive time, yuck-yuck guys, but instead of talking about Taylor Swift, they talk about Josh Allen. Either Shredd or Reagan alone have a better sports IQ that those two wieners combined.

Only people opposed to this trade are the ones that have cook as their fantasy running back. Get ready to dump him he's going to be worthless in a few days

For a 2nd????

 

On the last year of his deal, and going to be 30 in January? 

 

Beane should have his head examined if he makes that kind of deal.

This guy says Henry to Ravens or Dolphins.

 

me thinks people just pull rumors out their bums for clicks.  


He is going to be traded somewhere … and there aren’t many places he can end up..

 

These clowns just take educated guesses.. and some get right every once in a while .. “per source”

In reality, their odds will actually go in the other direction.

The poster is a proven fraud.  No truth to this.

 

That said, it would be smart to talk to the Titans about any player you may have interest in.  They are sellers for sure.  Hopkins has shown he still has something left in the tank and you can make the money work with them eating most of his contract.  He would be an immediate upgrade to Davis.

you’re saying if we add Henry it somehow decreases our chances of winning the SB?

Vegas put us at +200 to land him.
