Why not trade for a dependable kicker?

[Kingston Bills Fan]

Why not trade Bass and a pick to a team that has no chance at making the playoffs this year but has a good kicker. I have zero issues sending even as high as a 5th or 4th rounder or even higher if they take Bass and his contract. There has to be a team that has a good kicker but would rather have a pick to build up their team knowing a good kicker is waaaaay down on their priority list.

Who is the kicker you’re thinking of and the Bills are going to trade and player AND a 4th round pick for him??

[Albany,n.y.]

No team is trading their kicker to the Bills.  Might as well ask them to trade their best WRs too.

Who is going to trade for a kicker on that contract for 3 more years? Where do people come up with this stuff?

 

Another Madden GM?

You may be onto something here OP.

I’m thinking send Elam and 5th to KC for McDuffy.

Are good kickers way down on the priority list? There are teams that have blown games over the course of multiple seasons because they couldn't pin one down for awhile.

How have the Bills not done this yet, seems simple enough.

You want to trade a 4th round pick for a kicker??

Bass is still a starting kicker in this league.  Despite his struggles, he is not a bottom 5 or maybe not even a bottom 10 kicker.  There are not that many definitive upgrades from him, and very few (if any) that would both be an upgrade and not have playoff hopes.  I share the trepidation that he is not what he was, but he has looked good so far this season and there is no reason to think we need to (or can) upgrade at any cost.

Look at it like this, Who is going to trade away the guy who will end up scoring the most points for their team over the season?

Hmmm... Baltimore is 0-2... 🤔 

Mr. Decosta may we have Justin Tucker & Zay Flowers for Tyler Bass & a 4th round pick, please & thank you? Sincerely, Big Balls Beane.

Don't know about Madden, but I've seen stuff like this in Fantasy, which is basically like being an NFL GM for real. 

[rusty shackleford]

Ty Johnson and a 5th.

Yeah...it's not at all.

[Augie]

Yes, this is exactly the time that most NFL teams are looking to dispose of their good kickers. 

 

Could this be where AI helps us?   🤷‍♂️

I’d offer a 2nd for Butker!  The chiefs would decline.  That dude is so important to them winning

Yeah- he’s ridiculous for sure.  Dunno if he’d do what butker does in big spots 

[Yockopondowsk]

This is all in Bass’ head.  Maybe we can trade Wegmans 10 bucks for some vitamin B pills.  He needs to settle down, cool his jets, and kick the freakin’ ball. It doesn’t help that plays in a wind tunnel.   

[Freddie's Dead]

The Bass hate runs deep at TBD....

[somnus00]

I'm afraid Bass leaving points on the field will cost the Bills games this year. Hopefully not in the playoffs where every point comes at a premium.

 

But, respectfully, I don't see this trade scenario happening. Though, I also thought Diggs couldn't be untraded. So there's that.
