The Riddler Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 How perfect would Reed be for them now? http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2126213 Obviuosly we would include our 3rd pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRT88 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Come, you can not be serious! Josh Reed is a complete joke. You want to deal him and a pick for someone franchise player. Please, just ask them to bend over. Maybe they'll do it just for fun! I'll pass on Simon because getting him will likely mean we can't afford to sign Clements and I rather have Nate for the next 5 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Chief Navy Pride Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I dont want Simon either but they DO need another WR now. Why not Reed? Maybe for a conditional 4th or 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estro Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 If getting Simon means losing Nate after this year, I would stongly oppose going after him. If we can amnage to get both to long term deals than I'd be interested to see the deal get done. Needless to say at this point my major concern is getting NATE locked up as a Buffalo Bill for the next 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Why are you all so sure we are going to be able to keep him anyway? He might leave...it could happen. And if that DOES happen we need to be able to put lots of pressure on quarterbacks to help out our secondary...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fong Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I don't think signing Simon would necessarily mean Clements will be shown the door. It's possible that it would even help in getting him signed. If the Bills can build a dominant defense and start showing some promise on offense Clements might decide it's too good of an opportunity for him to stick around to pass up. He might even take a little less money to keep a good thing rolling. Having said that I don't see this Simon trade happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemhoff Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Even implying that Reed would be a trade possibility reveals how lacking his skills and play on the field have been. That would be a joke and the Iggles would never do it. We should only hold onto Reed as a 4th or 5th option, or cut him. He would have no trade value.

grammer_police Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 corey simon is great and all, but dont we already have depth there? if we are going to be spending money on a player put it towards something resembling a LT. (and still have money for NC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, just ask them to bend over. Maybe they'll do it just for fun! 399965[/snapback] I agree on Reed. If Philly wanted a vet WR with experience, they could go after Tai Streets who is currently unsigned. Reed is a borderline #3 WR, who with one more mediocre training camp could easily be cut.

shadowdog69 Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Wow, I just don't get the Simon lovin' going on over here whatsoever. lol 400081[/snapback] That's probably because you really don't want to see one of your best defensive players leave. Give me a break, he is still a pro bowl calibre DT. He may not be worth the money he wants, but is still a good player and an upgrade without question over Edwards. It is funny tho on a side note how this trade might be "heating up". I thought this was still a RUMOUR! Funny how rumours can heat up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learn about the salary cap. Signing bonuses are amortized. It's likely that nate's cap # would be lower this year if he gets a new deal. Additionally, we have 5mil of dead cap due to bledsoe.
