Trade for BTJ?

[Success]

it's weird to say this - but I really like our current group.

 

And  the offense is not any kind of problem.  We score better than anyone.

 

Secondary is where we likely need an add.

And the INT's were all on Josh too, he had open guys and he put the ball in harms way both times.  One he blatantly made a rookie read and didn't see the safety and the other his worst style of throw which is a deep arc where he is not accurate and always makes bad decisions, he threw into triple coverage while he had others open for easy gains.   

If you believe Joe Brady, the second play Allen only threw because he saw the defender jump the snap and thought he would get the Offside flag (and we should have gotten it).

The trade deadline is a week later this year; it’s the Wednesday after Week 11. So the Bills will have the luxury of seeing how things play out after nine games. I think this team will be in the market for a starting-caliber piece, but it will probably be six more games before they know exactly what they need. Right now corner and WR seem to be the two logical front runners but we shall see.

"Hey, let's see if we can get BTJ for a 4th or 5th round pick and see what happens"

 

"No, thanks. Don't wanna give up assets for someone when we can draft someone next year"

 

Draft someone like who? Another 4th or 5th rounder that will probably be a backup? If you can get BTJ who could just need a better QB and change of scenery and you can get him for a 4th, I fail to see what the problem is. Either you give up a 4th and you hit gold or you lose a backup that will probably not contribute much anyway. Some of you all are strange lol. I remember when there were rumors about us being in on McCaffery when he was leaving Carolina. All the "no, thanks" people were plentiful. I don't get it. We have to be the only franchise in the league where we could trade for prime Jerry Rice and people here would be like "eh...don't need him" lol. Weird

If we trade it needs to be for secondary help at this point.  Offense just scored 24 points despite turning the ball over 5 times.  Thats 5 drives gone and we still scored 24 and won.

Allen tends to try and get it all back on one play when the wheels fall off, and that is exactly what he did on the INT to DJ Moore.  

And we still scored 24.  Offense is no where near our problem.  I am not against BTJ or MHJ, but needs wise, we need help at corner where are suddenly very thin.  By the way - everyone clamoring for BTJ or MHJ are still doing so off draft hype becasue if you watch the tape on them, its not good.  Yes a change of scenery could help, but tape doesn't lie, there is a reason less hearalded and journeyman are out snapping and out playing them on their respective teams.  

Agree 1000%!!! All of the turnovers were correctable offenses! Heck, they might’ve scored 50 if they turned over the ball only once. Our biggest needs are the secondary and a starting level LB!!! I don’t trust our LBs at all! They can’t rush the QB at all. But idk who they can get at LB that’s impactful because that position is a high injury risk position. So you have to be smart on who and what you give up for one…

BTJ or MHJ would be low risk, high reward swings for the Bills. They still have a need on the boundary. That’s certainly true long-term. Maybe Skyler Bell ends up being that guy. Palmer will be gone after this year. Keon may have 1 more year. Neither is starting caliber. If you could get one of those 2 inexpensively, it’s a good gamble. Worst case scenario is where you are minus the pick. 

Would like to see a move on Harrison

If it somehow gets Hamlin off the team, I'm all for it.

Heck, it’s totally impossible but if we are trading draft picks just go ahead and trade the future for Jeremiah Smith and allow Josh to have him for the remainder of his career. 

I don't follow college football so don't know a thing about him, but Jeremiah Smith sounds like a great name for someone on the Buffalo Bills.

Everything about this thread is speculation.

I don't know that they have a real need at the position at the moment,  but if the price were a day three pick,   I might consider it.

How does that benefit Jacksonville by trading a good player even as a WR4?

 

You can't just randomly say you want to trade for a player when the other team has no reason to do it and would likely take a step backwards by doing so. 

 

Typically playoff contenders do not trade away good players in season. Why? Because injuries happen and they would much rather have a player like BTJ step into that role than some random UDFA.

 

Maybe you want Tampa Bay for that case study.

 

This isn't Madden, part 5,652.

Not to mention big cap hits this year and next.

Does BTJ pay CB?

Yes they make a deal to let BTJ make the catch and he pays the CB, its a big controversy

Have you actually watched him play recently?

Let’s see how the next few games go regrading production and injury. Right now Moore is everything we hoped for and feels like the difference maker this offense has been lacking since Diggs left.

BTJ drops a LOT of passes.  he had a great rookie year because Jags were so injured that Mac Jones was their QB most of the season and he was about the only decent WR so they just threw to him over and over again.
