Got_Wood Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 (edited) The team is going nowhere, and we have a big contract guy sitting as dead weight on this roster. Don't give me this "he's a team leader" stuff. Because the team leaders have led us into a giant ditch. We need to acquire as many draft picks as we can, and I'm sure there is a team out there contending for a playoff spot that can use Stroud's services (Texans, Colts, Eagles, Bears, Cardinals, etc).

Perhaps he can be packaged with Kelsay...oops, forget that, no reason to diminish Stroud's trade value.
akm0404 Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Yeah, no. Once players are bad and play for the Buffalo Bills, there really isn't another home for them south of the CFL.
MattyT Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 I love Stroud, but I can admit that he would be one of the better candidates for trade.
HansLanda Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 yeah, but is it worth getting a sixth for him right now? The D does not need any subtraction. They're bad enough as it.
BillsFan4Life420 Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 yeah, but is it worth getting a sixth for him right now? The D does not need any subtraction. They're bad enough as it. yeah but can the defense get any worse with out him we are already the worse defense in the league cant go down when you hit rock bottom
Dr. Trooth Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Uh, dude... the Bills gave up a 4th rd.pick for Stroud three years ago when he was "relavant". Three years later he is a member of the the worst defense in football and part of perhaps the worst front seven in Bills history. You mention drat picks? That suggests more than one. I can't, in my wildest dream, see the Bills getting even a low 7th rounder for Stroud. Now, please convince all of us... what NFL team would ring Buddy Nix's phone and tell him they are interested in acquiring Marcus Stroud? And, if you were a half coherent GM making that call to Buddy, what would you offer up as compensation? Keep in mind, the team which acquires Stroud has to pony up about $5m/yr. in salary. If some GM made a deal for Stroud, he'd sure have a lot of 'splainin' to do
oak tree 12 Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 yeah, but is it worth getting a sixth for him right now? The D does not need any subtraction. They're bad enough as it. you stole my show, who cares about a sixth round pick. now if we could get a fifth then i would do it!

We need to acquire as many draft picks as we can, and I'm sure there is a team out there contending for a playoff spot that can use Stroud's services (Texans, Colts, Eagles, Bears, Cardinals, etc). I'd do it just do dump his salary and free up a roster spot for a young player. Signing Stroud is just another example of the Bills ineptitude at putting a team together. Jaguars knew he was over-the-hill and the Bills were dumb enough to pony up a 4th for him
Lofton80 Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Take a fifth or sixth if one is even being offered. Over the hill vets tend to get waived rather than anyone giving up picks.

If some GM made a deal for Stroud, he'd sure have a lot of 'splainin' to do We gave up a 3rd and a 5th. And that was in 2008. Not very long ago. We could still get a 4th or 5th, or even potentially a player. He's worth that salary on a team that matters. We aren't trying to win this year, and that makes him a waste of money.
JPS Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Not sure if you all have seen the 2010 Buffalo Bills, but Marcus Stroud is horrible and not even worth 3 used footballs. Jacksonville fleeced the Bills getting a 3rd and a 5th for him. There's NO WAY a team trades for Stroud. It's more likely that he gets released.
Simon Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 I was hoping they'd do it right before the season started when he had showed up in spectacular condition. Then I kept waiting for it to happen all year, being absolutely positive they'd move him the day after the Jacksonville game after he'd played the best game he is ever going to have again as a Bill. Now I'm wondering if they're going to do it at all. He's not a particularly good fit in a 3-4 at this stage of his career, but I think he's still got a lot to offer a team that is trying to make a championship run. If I was a fan of the Colts, Eagles, Titans, Falcons, etc. I'd be thrilled to have him brought on board for a 4th round pick.
