the_franchise Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Mort reporting that the Bills might be getting a lineman as well: http://twitter.com/#!/MORTREPORT They've also sent DL Dwan Edwards
kdub Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Why? I think it was a wise move. Evans trade value only goes down from here. We have a **** ton of young guys. I am happy for Naaman--this likely seals his spot on the roster. This team is looking better everyday. I have to agree. As much as I hate seeing Evan's go, it's best to get something for a player before you can get nothing for him. With the WR corps the Bills have right now, I think the slack can easily be taken up with minimal effect on the pass game production. What is interesting now is how Stevie will perform when he is seeing the majority of double teams....and who becomes the #2, Easley?
thebandit27 Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 So we should probably trade Kyle Williams too since he getting up there in age and we got good young talent like Troupe and Darreus.. Heck lets trade MCgee too since we got Aaron Williams now, lets trade Stevie Johnson too since we got Rosevelt, lets trade merriman since we got carrington, lets trade Davis since we got moats...Hell lets just trade anyone that has a guy younger than him in his same position.. I really hope you don't think getting rid of good players like Lee to keep a guy like Naaman is a good idea...We should have kept him for one more year to be sure Stevie wasn't a fluke....This sucks.! With the exception of McGee I agree with you. I happen to think McGee is the most overrated Bills' player in recent history.
DollarBills Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 The lineman is actually a cassette copy of Buddy's favorite song- "Wichita Lineman".

MattyT Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 So let's look at our Receiver core for this year (oh, which starts in a month btw): 1. Johnson: good. 2. Nelson: Shows promise, nothing proven. 2. Parrish: hurt, questionable. 3. Easley: hasn't played a down of even pre season football. 4. Davis: scrub. 5. Jones: special teamer. 6. Roosevelt: fan favorite? I guess that's all you can really say. 7. Oh, and a 4th round pick next year. Almost forgot that. Pathetic. Don't forget Hubbard who will almost surely be suspended by the league ....if he even makes the team.
thebandit27 Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 It's called building a team. Take notes. I don't think it's fair to say this move makes the team better in any way, so I feel like his statement wasn't as outlandish as you seem to be making it. No offense of course...
Lv-Bills Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Me: Bills just traded Lee Evans to Baltimore. Guy in my office who's not completely oblivious to sports: Who's Lee Evans? Most people outside of the 716 area code, would say the same thing about Kyle Williams as well.
cantankerous Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Maybe the lineman coming from Baltimore is Michael Oher!!! There is no lineman coming.
Billsrhody Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 The front office is doing exactly what they said they would.. building through the draft. Lee is going to help this team win a superbowl in the next 2 years so the deal actually makes sense. 2-3 years down the road this team has a real chance to be good, Lee would have been on the downswing at that time. I like Lee but this deal makes sense
bills1960 Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 My least favorite word is sports: rebuilding. It's basically just an excuse for suckage. Well, we're rebuilding so by us losing we're justified. Or by us making a horrible trade it's justified because our fourth round pick will pick up someone better than him...?
Mark Long Beach Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 SOB....what the heck is going on in the Bill's front office???!! Nix is trying to remove the stink of losing. He's removed almost all of our players from the previous regimes save a few talented guys and some standup guys. I think Lee was a standup guy, but his production has been poor lately. We may have some young talent so he's gambling that one of them can step up.

Not exactly the team first response I bet Gailey was looking for.
thebandit27 Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Saying he is pissed is an understatement. He's probably pissed now for signing with the team. I don't think there's any question about that.

NickelCity Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 I could have stomached this if we didn't get such a raw deal. I'm desperate to believe that there is a lineman coming but it just doesn't seem likely...
Lurker Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Not exactly the team first response I bet Gailey was looking for. Pretty accurate, though. Not getting a player back is a capitulation move for this year, IMO...
thebandit27 Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Drayton should watch his tongue or his ass will get traded too. Not exactly the team first response I bet Gailey was looking for. Is he supposed to be happy? I'm not sure what you're getting at here...
swimtoga Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 I finger in the @$$ then a face wash afterwards. Couldnt have said it better
