The only problem with acquiring both Shaheed and meyers is that both play in the slot where Shakir plays. That wouldn't make much sense to acquire either 1 of those guys imo I like bboth of them but that would force 1 of them either Shaheed/Meyers or Shakir to play outside which I'm pretty sure they don't do very often at all.

No. Shaheed has lined up predominately outside the numbers (75% before this year), even this year where the Saints have lined him up in the slot 40% of the time. Interestingly they have increased his slot presence by the same % of snaps as the Jags have asked BTJ to do, and basically for the same reasons. Unlike BTJ he has reacted well to the change and been productive. If as some say BTJ either cannot or does not want to play inside maybe Shaheed is in fact the more versatile player.

Man I’m hoping something truly is brewing and this isn’t just a bunch of smoke

I think it’s going to be defense for sure.  I highly doubt they bring in a WR

And he can return kicks, which means Codrington can be let go considering he's occupying a roster spot and does nothing else.

Would love Waddle or BTJ but doubt either gets traded. I’d give up a 7th rounder for Jermaine Burton. Seems like he’s fallen out of favor with the bengals coaching staff but dude is a blazer and worth the gamble imo. 

 

Burton seems like a guy with genuine off-field issues PLUS a lack of football character. Definitely not a McBeane guy imo. Plus, hasn't he just not played AT ALL this season? 

[bobobonators]

Our Bogeyman (the chiefs) appear to be down more this year than any other year. There is a serious shot they barely make the playoffs.
 

Put all our chips in now. There is no other team in the AFC who is able to go toe to toe with us in the playoffs at home. 
 

Get any of those WR and a player on D. Trade 2-3 draft picks. All in.

Burton can’t make it to practice on time, and his condo is literally a 5 minute walk from the facility. He was seen out at bars at 2am on the Saturday before a 1:00 game more than once. The Bengals have given him every chance and he’s failed every test.

Waddle would take on a cap hit of just $585,000

 

BTJ carries a cap hit of just $480,000

 

Olave would account for a cap hit of $749,970

Not sure the Dolphins send us Waddle

Exactly. Probably could get him for a 7th

I'd be willing to bet if any nfc team offers anything remotely close to the bills offer they go nfc all day.

I agree with this. 
 

I think Saints make sense for us. Also, haven’t heard his name mentioned much, but the Commanders could Be selling now and Deebo could be an option. I’d personally prefer any of the Saints WR.

I'd say there's no way.  I was just showing the cap hits are under what they just cleared

I’m not going to assume this is for a trade at all. The Bills have added guys to the active roster who are veterans over rookies(you have to pay them more even on minimum). Bills are about to IR Hoecht ending his season and will have to sign another player either to the practice squad or the active roster. 
 

1.75 seems like a number to gain more space for operational budget
