Plausible X/#1 receiver trade candidates — are there any?

Moore is still expected to play this week and he has missed just 2 games in 7+ seasons in the NFL. I would say he is much more durable than Olave who missed 9 games just last year with the concussions. He has also had previous concussions and ankle injuries that have caused him to miss games in previous seasons. The concussions make me nervous because the more a player has the longer the recovery time seems to be and the Bills have had poor luck in recent seasons with guys staying healthy as is. 

I know you cant just look at an isolated part of a guys med history to judge his health. Hes had injury history... and once you've had them, the correlation > cause.

 

Still, with Olave i think its fair to take last years concussion out of "injury prone" discussion LOL that was the SINGLE most egregious hospital ball I can remember. Im sure there are worse, but if you take a section of fans and played word association... "hospital ball" would have a 95% rate of people saying Olave or Carr

 

I guess for all the griping many of us have with the way nfl has gone the last decade or two, you can say a move like this is significantly less risky than before

A first for Olave? And I thought Beane was bad.

 

Better than what Beane would spend the pick on. 

 

I'd trade a 1st + more picks for any legit WR. I have no desire to waste another season & hope Beane figures it out next draft, only for us to need another couple years to see if that pick ever materializes into something good.

 

Look no further than who they've evaluated taken vs who they've passed on. We literally gave the Chiefs a weapon that helps transform the look of their entire offense, while we took a project that can't separate & scares nobody. 

 

As I've said before, the best draft picks Beane & McDermott have ever used outside of Allen were the 1st, 4th, 5th & 6th to get Diggs. Nobody else has been as impactful

 

Better to go that route again then sit around & do nothing. Even just having someone as good as Waddle could change the whole dynamic of this offense. Maybe then Coleman could even look as good as ol Gabe David used to playing opposite of Diggs.

[5ths the charm]

We will either over pay for a #3 on a team on their last year of a contract or start money to a 33+ year old geriatric past his prime. Either way draft picks gone or future $ towards someone's retirement plan to watch more than play. Position is irrelevant as it will be the same for all.

Four days after the MNF debacle and still no news. I would have thought we would have acquired a WR by now and get him prepped during the bye week

I’d give them a 2nd for Waddle!

Oh, would you? You'd trade a 60th overall pick for a guy owed under $1M this season, who's averaged 1k+ yds & 6td per/season, for each of his first 4 years? 😆😆😆

 

Id commit to 42hours of work a week, to move into an oceanside mansion next door to a Playboy bunnie's.

 

Would you trade our late 1st rd'er for 24yr old Calvin Johnson though? A draft pick could be anything! It could even be

Anyone else hearing we’ve offered a 2nd and a 5th for Waddle? 

 

If it isn't being reported by a verified NFL media member or Beat writer, in which case it would be everywhere, it isn't worth the bandwidth reading the tweet uses.

 

This time of the year, especially us being in the situation we're in with some positions, people are starving for a move to be made. And randos take advantage of that by posting bullsh-t to gain likes, follows, and traction on their accounts.

 

There are no sources on Twitter. The best random "sources" on there are people who have put out nonsense and just got lucky that it coincidentally happened. Then everyone says "they're legit". Then you'll watch them put out a bunch more nonsense that never happens. Hoping they'll get lucky again.

 

I know people are desperate to see us do something. But don't let that make you fall for and/or spread dubious (at best) info.
