If I am living in reality Xavier Woods at safety from Tennessee maybe. I liked him as a low cost vet option in FA though abd if the Bills had been interested maybe they do it then? Jeffrey Simmons also from the Titans if cap space etc is no blocker.

Rapp appears washed up.  A safety to pair with Bishop would be helpful

Interesting article.  On the Bills front, this article would have us acquiring CB Alontae Taylor from the Saints for a 4th, and WR Jakobi Meyers from Vegas for a 4th (although it also has Meyers goign to Arizona for a 4th).  It has us trading Dawson Knox to, of all places, Carolina for a 5th.  

 

I know nothing about Taylor, but we need CB help, and Meyers would add some boundry juice to the WR room.  Don't like losing Knox, but if it clears cap space that's fine.  Otherwise I see little reason for the move.  

 

Thoughts?

 

Other players on the move in this article I'd like to see the Bills go after include: 

 

--DT Simmons; DE Hendrickson; and RB Kamara or Pollard. 

 

I think we need to strengthen the interior DL, add a CB, and a backup RB at the deadline.  WR would be nice, but as we are scroing 30+ a game, not sure how necessary at this juncture.  

 

Could just be me, but the place where I truly think the Bills need help is at safety.

Knox is more valuable to us this year than a 5th.

Yeah trading away Josh's best friend and a decent contributor mid season on a superbowl run year would NEVER happen in a million years.   Beane isn't an idiot.

 

Hendrickson on a one year deal from Cinci would have to be cap wizardry at its finest, but that's the one that would put us over the top IMO.   I would give up some serious draft capital to make that happen, that dude is a pure game changer.

I know that it’s not easy to bring a new CB in and expect him to perform immediately, but I think the BILLS need some insurance at CB.

 

If Benford gets hurt the secondary is severely compromised. There has to be a veteran CB that could be traded for in the next few weeks from a non-playoff team.

 

Beane traded a 3rd for Cooper. Ship a 2nd rounder for a stud CB to shore up the secondary. Lots of football left and this team should be playing in February.

Makes absolutely no sense to trade Knox for a 5th. Silly idea.

My thoughts are these guys at SI have nothing better to do than write nonsense speculative trades to justify a paycheck. I could have a monkey with darts propose trades with the same accuracy...ZERO.

Someone to compete with Hancock, and the winner eventually (sooner the better) gets to replace Rapp.

Washed up?

He hasn’t been great but against the Jets he was borderline the best player on defense. That was 2 games ago?

Would you want to acquire Jeffrey Simmons? I wouldn't want to give up a 2nd rounder, but he would definitely sure up that inside run defense 

 

Yes I would though I haven't really thought about practical affordability.

We have to get a younger safety. Rapp is currently 28 years old. He's getting up there in NFL age.

Bills are more likely to extend Knox than trade him. 

 

 

Yes!! An extension at a bit lower level.

Many want Simmons, he’s 31…

Some people just want to give our players away for picks that probably won’t even make the team! Unbelievable!!

Trade Knox for a fifth? GTHOH!!!!

I’d hate to trade a productive player for someone who won’t even see the field like mcdummy is famous for doing. Might as well just cut them instead.

[Bill from NYC]

It's good that they want us to get a corner but they forgot safety. We need to trade for both positions and grab a couple early in the draft.

This coaching staff would do that then sign another washed up player like Tre White to start. This staff is unbelievable!

Yup, unbelievably good. 4-0, by the way.

 

But no, they wouldn't do any of this article's moves, I don't think. None look particularly good for this tea.

Smoke and mirrors with this defense

Yeah, and they missed the Super Bowl last year by one play through smoke and mirrors.

 

It's pretty clear you're trolling, but if you're not, consider giving up the coffee, dude.

You think this defense is good? And I’m the one trolling? Lol

Good luck stopping the chiefs in the playoffs with this defense! lol
