NoSaint Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I have heard all the rumors of marshawn to SD for either a pick or Cromartie.... What about Marshawn for RFA Marcus McNeill? Throw in some picks to balance --- is it even possible? I havent heard much of how his long term negotiations are going with SD, and of course we would have to sign him to a hefty deal afterward but...... i dunno just an idea to throw out there.

NoSaint Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 Lynch for Castillo, Merriman, and Cromartie No, but if he is tendered at the 1st and 3rd, and they dont think they can work out a deal --- or are concerned by his injury problem -- Would they take maybe lynch and a second or third?

BillsVet Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 A.J. Smith is too smart to trade a RB one incident away from being suspended long term for a solid LT. Positional value being what it is, Buffalo would need to throw in something more to get a good LT than just a backup RB. Unless Smith has a replacement for McNeill on the roster (and he doesn't), he's not making that move. Certainly no NFL team would trade their starting LT for picks or a RB without a replacement, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 Its true -- who would ever trade a LT.... i mean wait..... Realistically though there are pros and cons to both players. Obviously mcneill has more value Investing in Mcneill you must worry about his long term health with his back problems. Does AJ Smith want to give a probowl LT contract to a guy that might develop health issues? Marshawn though terrible off the field would be a big addition to that offense. He is one strike away from sitting, but theres no saying if McNeill might not be in the same boat with his back. Marshawn has a price tag under a million dollars next year I believe -- as opposed to paying 6-8 million for sproles (what was the number for him to be kept around?). Marshawn can be kept for a reasonable length of time for an affordable price -- it was a rough year last year, but he has shown pro bowl ability and under a million dollars is a heck of a bargain. There were rumors that mcneill was close to signing 2 years ago but talks broke down and have never gotten as close (atleast that i have heard publicly) since that time. Maybe there is something more there, and mcneill and smith still dont see eye to eye? maybe mcneill was a nix guy.... he was the SEC scout there correct? We have ties to the front office now -- ala NE and KC, or many other connections you see around the league. It makes it easier to atleast talk. Am I saying its going to happen? likely not, but i dont think its worth throwing out the window as impossible. What type of pick do you think it would take to add on? Would you do marshawn and a 2 for mcneill if that would get it done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philo Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 As much as I am for shipping Lynch out to San Diego for a quality player or two or draft picks, I doubt this will happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Positional value being what it is, Buffalo would need to throw in something more to get a good LT than just a backup RB. But this is "Beast Mode" we're talking about and every good GM knows that having a cool nickname for breaking tackles is worth at least a first round pick.

Lynch for a 2nd, Evans for a 1st and a 3rd. There's probably a team on the cusp that would give anything for a guy like Evans... maybe the Titans or Panthers.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Lynch for Rivers I know right? Any combination and number of Bills in a trade for a real QB would be a win... we are on like 14 years since Jimbo left *sigh* I really, really hope the 2010 Draft becomes a memorable one in a good way!
