Woolen is currently hurt.  

 

didn't know thanks!  Sorry I misread the title I shouldn't have brought up CB

Even if Miami did trade him, I doubt they trade him to a divisional rival.

Yes I doubt they would be that dumb. That would be like the Bills trading with the Chiefs…wait.

Sorry, didn't mean it to come off snarkey like that.  We are talking about all positions here!

 

Woolen got a concussion two weeks ago and missed last weeks game.  He has been a role player when healthy though.  He has practiced fully this week and should be active vs Houston

 

he would definitely help.

 

There is absolutely no way the Bills can host KC in two weeks with the current secondary.  They might give up 40+ to KC in this current situation.

My biggest issue with Coleman isn't that he isn't good. It's that he isn't consistent. He's had some good games and produced. He shows that he's capable. But, I believe he has a very poor work ethic and doesn't have that inner push to want to work to be great. 

Agreed.  Bills don’t have the time to waste on Coleman right now while he figures it out.  He’s a better fit for a team like New Orleans that’s a few years away.

If we lose to the Panthers the only trade I want to see is with SF. Josh Allen for a 1st. Let him go with a competent organization.

 

But back to your premise if we get Olave I want another WR, too.

 

Ridley and Olave - sending Samuel or Davis or someone else young would be fine - is what i would take.

The 49ers gave up three 1st for Trey Lance, we're certainly not traded them All for one 1st. It would take them multiple 1sts and a bunch of players for the reigning MVP see Herschel Walker to the Vikings type compensation.

was it really 3 firsts?

 

what did parsons get, 2 1sts and a huge contract?  allen getting traded (which should never even be considered, let alone happen) would have to be the biggest trade of all time.

Not to mention that Post-June 1, 2026 trade: The dead cap hit would be split over two years, with a charge of $31,788,000 in 2026 and $52,681,000 in 2027. 

 

So the Bills would pay Allen $84M over the next two years to NOT play for us as well as financially cripple the organization for the foreseeable future. All for what looks to be a late round 1st. 

[PayDaBill$]

I’d love it if BB could somehow make the Waddle trade happen.

[Warriorspikes51]

AJ Brown cap hit this year for us would be  780k  and 2026 would be 1.5M  if I am seeing that correctly?

 

I highly doubt the Eagles would move him, but who knows 

Edit: Eagles would have a lot of dead cap $.....which they have had no issue doing before, but makes it more unlikely

i'd happily trade 2 firsts and 2 seconds for him under those conditions, maybe more.

 

for what it's worth, x dot com seems to think that we might get waddle.  i'd be super happy with that, but aj brown would be over the top out of sight.

 

this O with a player like that along w what we have would be simply a scary monster.  it would let us put coleman in the slot, go all height and power w them two and tight ends in the red zone, and if we ran jumbo sets w 1 or 2 wr if one of them is AJ the play action will be so so scary the opponents might not just ever load the box.

[BuffaloRebound]

How is miami eating $25m of dead cap trading waddle when they’re currently $1m under the cap?  Can the dead money all be pushed to 2026?  Otherwise no idea how’s miami trade waddle to anybody much less a divisional foe.

I'd give it a 1% chance of happening.   I'd say it's more likely Beane will lowball everything and teams like the Pats will improve instead

[Warriorspikes51]

I assume we will activate Gabe off of PS IR if/when healthy and then Moore will be waived   (probably picked up by someone else and put up decent numbers)

sadly Moore and Shavers really haven't offered much / been used properly? 

Perhaps we swing a trade

 

Kincaid  (should be primary target in pass game) 
Shakir
________ trade ? 

Palmer (once healthy)
Coleman

Davis

 

Shavers

 

Gabe is at the very least a much better run blocker than the current depth WR's

 

He is also a solid intermediate target at times.

If last night in Cincinnati did not prove how freaking important it is to have at least one number one receiver, I don’t know what will

 

Beane is immune from that sort of learning.  Are there any futures markets on next years draft?  I want to bet against us getting a wr in first 4 rounds

This is all coming from an Instagram photo that Waddle posted of himself in Highmark with a Bills logo in the background. It was the first non-ad post to Waddle's page in years.

Bean has a hard enough time drafting a good CB in round 1

I would take it a step further, how many times does an "everybody eats" concept actually work in the NFL when you have a great QB and team with Super Bowl aspirations?  Last night just reminded all of us that a great QB requires a couple of great skill players to have the type of O that wins SB's.  

 

Cole Beasley said it too:

 

That is the subtle benefit of having a legit #1 WR that nobody ever brings up. It creates a snowball effect on the rest of the offense. Everybody below the #1 on the depth chart now gets better matchups which allows their skill sets to shine.

That’s what happened with Amari Cooper last year. That’s why their passing and scoring was so much better in the games with him than without him…

Trust me he worked very hard this offseason. Did a lot of private WR coaching, had 1 on 1 sessions with Allen before camp, etc. Unfortunately he just doesn't seem to have it. I'll always bet on athletic traits combined with a strong work ethic but some players never apply the training to the field. After all that work he hasn't progressed at all, he's making the same mistakes he was making last year. With his skill set he needs to have the nuances of the position down pat, and he just doesn't look even close right now. So I'm pretty close to giving up on him at this point. He can maybe salvage his career if he switches to big slot, I'd at least be interested to see what that looks like.

I clicked on this thread and saw people discussing an Allen trade - and so I am out lol.
