boyst Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I do not know if the Chargers would need Mankins, but the Pats could use Jackson. This could be a problem for us. The Pats keep upgrading, retrofitting. The Bills, we keep rebuilding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
....lybob Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I wish we could get in there for Mankins - could SD use Evans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Shouldn't the term "rebuilding" imply that something was originally built and that there is some building actually taking place? Not to hijack the thread but "rebuild" really isn't a synonym for erosion, disintegration, decay, and wearing away. The current team is scraping the bottom of the barrel and arguably has the least amount of talent of any team in the post-Butler slide. Even as bad as the 3-13 Bills of '01 were, they did have some decent players although they had garbage at the QB position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan714 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 They're reporting because the union advised them to, in order to get the fifth year of service in order to be UFA's next year. I dont think theres any trade happening there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swift Sylvan Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I do not know if the Chargers would need Mankins, but the Pats could use Jackson. This could be a problem for us. The Pats keep upgrading, retrofitting. The Bills, we keep rebuilding. The thing that makes this seem less likely is that the Pats traded for Branch. I think that if they had been targeting Jackson all this time they wouldn't have made that other trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoner7 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 After the Pats Traded Moss for a 3, I have a hard time believing that could ask for much more than that for Mankins. Even still, if we offereed a 3 and a 5 for him, I bet they would take it (maybe even less). I dont believe the Bills have even tried after that report about the lynch trade came out. Stupid Bills....

Dr. Trooth Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Why could the Pats use Jackson? They just acquired Branch to compensate for moving Moss. Why would they move Mankins? They could really use him now that Kaczur just went down with a season ending injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
