billsevans Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Sources: Bills Shopping Simpson Sources close to the National Football Post have informed us that the Buffalo Bills are looking to trade free safety Ko Simpson before this weekend’s draft in New York. The former fourth round draft choice has complied 143 tackles and 2 interceptions in three NFL seasons. The Bills have been active in the past week. On Friday, Buffalo traded away Pro Bowl offensive tackle Jason Peters to Philadelphia in return for multiple draft picks and are reportedly shopping wide receiver Roscoe Parrish and defensive end Chris Kelsay as well. We are also hearing that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are looking to trade tight end Alex Smith before Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRebound Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Maybe his injury ruined his career, but the guy had a monster preseason his rookie year and now looks a step slow on every play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfreak Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 This is not good news. Sure it is good news, we would be dumping one of our criminals and should get quite a bit in return since he is worth millions according to himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pBills Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Ok on the block we now have: Parrish Kelsay Simpson ?? Something must be up if they are looking to clear out. Looking for combination trade (draft picks and a player) for some stud player or multiple players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbuckley9091 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Maybe his injury ruined his career, but the guy had a monster preseason his rookie year and now looks a step slow on every play. I agree, he hasn't looked the same since the injury. His rookie year he looked so promising, he was so fast and seemed to be flying around all over the field making plays. I thought he and Donte would man the secondary for years....what a bummer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Kelsay? Maybe we are going with a defensive end at 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for combination trade (draft picks and a player) for some stud player or multiple players? yeah the team is tired of starting special teamers and 3rd stringers and paying them like starters. Just because the fans have Bills blinders on does not make players HOFers. Simpson was a nice story his rookie year, but he has major gaps in his game and never got better. He is extremely poor in run support, takes bad angles all the time and really was a mediocre FS at best. With Whitner moving to FS and our depth at the safety position pretty deep (not good still) it made Simpson expendable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can hope for (which of course with the Bills history - won't happen) is a very solid draft and ONE blockbuster move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief D Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 All three are expendable at this point. We need to make room for about 5 Rookies too so someone needs to move on. I would rather see Bills get something for them now vs. nothing later. I would like to see Buffalo hold on to Parrish as his ST duties will be missed!!!!!!! How about "Chicken Neck" Youbouty we should try to shop him around as well. I really don't see him on the team in the fall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 This is part of a grand, epic salary dump. Ladies and gentlemen your 2009 Buffalo Bills. Let's trade 4 of our starters for a slew of 4th-7th round picks. Then we can fill the roster with Xavier Omons and John Wendlings. At least they won't cost more than a couple hundred thousand dollars each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the three, I can argue that Kelsay & Simpson could be replaced by SFAs without much drop off in production.

Of the three, I can argue that Kelsay & Simpson could be replaced by SFAs without much drop off in production. (Kind of like they were in '08) Agree re: Kelsay that he's way overpaid compared to your average replacement player (which is the proper point of reference). With Simpson and Parrish, however, they make next to nothing and have experience. I've advocated trading Roscoe for some time, PROVIDED that we would get a veteran player as part of the deal (my target was Waters). But there is little chance that a 5th-7th round pick will have anywhere near the impact that Roscoe has. Especially since this front office wastes those picks. I can't believe we effectively "traded" Jim Leonhard for John Wendling. That was the same kind of boneheaded thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 This is not good news. I agree. I think he will be back to old form this year and I wouldn't trade him because he wont fetch anything close to his value on the team now. Ok on the block we now have: Parrish Kelsay Simpson ?? Something must be up if they are looking to clear out. Looking for combination trade (draft picks and a player) for some stud player or multiple players? I think they are going to move up a lot in the third round by using these multiple fourth round picks. JMO This is part of a grand, epic salary dump. Ladies and gentlemen your 2009 Buffalo Bills.

dogbyte Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 This is what happens when players do not stay in school They have some NFL skills but could be much better if they had stayed for 1 to 2 more years. Youboty is a prime example, if he had stayed in school he would of been more polished and maybe a high 1st or 2nd round choice. But he wanted the NFL money came out early, got drafted in the 4th. He show some promise early, but injuries and maybe not as focused in training, with an easy coach has put him behind. I wonder how many players are liking our lame duck coach now[. Players motto should be, have your bags packed you might be going/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
