MasterStrategist Posted July 27 Posted July 27 (edited) per Schefter This is an immediate target IMO. He's more important than any WR signing we could make. We need to stop the run, from Leonhard's lips to gods ears. Edited July 27 by MasterStrategist 4 7 1 Quote
Rubes Posted July 27 Posted July 27 I usually hear "requests trade" and immediately replace it with "requests big new contract with the same team." 15 10 1 6 Quote
H2o Posted July 27 Posted July 27 I mean, who wouldn't be? He would be that behemoth in the middle of the DL. The question is, "why is he requesting a trade?" If it's $$$, we don't have that much to go around. 1 1 Quote

If it's $$$, we don't have that much to go around. It's 100% contract related - he is on the last year of his current deal. I could see a trade of TJ Sanders, and a draft pick. I don't know if Sanders has a "home" in this defense, we shall see. Just now, BillsFan130 said: He's a great player, no doubt .

Coming off a stud season, age 31 is certainly a risk, but he would instantly fix our run defense and give Jimmy more flexibility with the secondary Quote
NewEra Posted July 27 Posted July 27 Imagine Vea lined up next to Walker and Ed? 😱 I doubt Beane would make this type of move, but it could be a championship if he can stay healthy and collapse the pocket on the reg. He wasn’t as dominant vs the run last season as in the past and but he was wreaking havoc as a pass rusher. Seems like a move the ravens would make. My money is on them making it happen. They have some cap room to work with 1 Quote
Roundybout Posted July 27 Posted July 27 He wants a new contract so this is just posturing. That said, I’d do whatever it takes to land him. He’s one of the best interior linemen in football, if not the best. 1 Quote
Neo Posted July 27 Posted July 27 It’s nuclear war with Los Angeles, among others. We’re half way through Allen, and the half that’s gone is his most athletic half. Top end Josh may be around for as few as two or three years. I’ll let Beane decide if it’s possible. If it is, I’d pull the trigger. Signed, Neo … who never spent a day as a GM. 3 2 Quote

I think for me it just comes down to cost and cap. Youre gonna have to give up a lot, and got to pay him a crap load in a non premium position. (With a tight cap) Quote
Norcalbillsfan Posted July 27 Posted July 27 Theres alot of teams with more draft capitol and cap space than the bills unfortunately. Bucs most likely get a deal done. Quote
Fleezoid Posted July 27 Posted July 27 He's a superstar. So he doens't fit in the Bills culture. 1 9 Quote
WMDman Posted July 27 Posted July 27 I’m chalking this up to he just wants a new deal just like everyone else who “requests a trade” 2 Quote
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted July 27 Posted July 27 This is one that I’m in on. No matter what the return, there’s no chance it can realistically be something that would upset us. Call me crazy, but maybe you solve the CB 2 conundrum by peeling one off for this? 1 Quote
HappyDays Posted July 27 Posted July 27 Am I the only Bills fan unconcerned with the DT room? Oliver and Walker is a perfectly fine starting duo. Plus Leonhard's scheme is designed to manufacture pressure. I'm good on another high price DL investment. 4 1 Quote

DJB Posted July 27 Posted July 27 Bills fans must accept that Beane tried but lost out only to sign Jordan Phillips 9 Quote

This is the worst take I've seen in a long, long time. Players like this change everything about D Line efficiency 1 6 1 Quote
