Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 LaCanfora said Josh Gordon could be had for a 2nd round pick and a player. I'd jump all over that if I'm the Bills. But the source is wearing rainbow loom bracelets, so.... 2nd rounder!!! No one will pay that.
thewildrabbit Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 "Jairus Byrd, S, Bills: The fact he is a franchise player and cannot extend his deal with any club in 2013 greatly limits the options here. Plenty of teams like Byrd -- contenders and non-contenders alike -- but they won't part with a significant pick for a player they might only end up renting. Still, the Bills are reeling some, even with him back from injury, they won't franchise him again in 2014, which means he walks for a 2015 compensatory pick. I could see a proactive team like Cleveland, even though rebuilding, maybe flipping a pick they have received from some of their recent trades to land Byrd, and then get a jump on trying to extend him before the market opens in March. Dooo eeet...He doesn't want to be a Buffalo Bill anyway.
Kirby Jackson Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 2nd rounder!!! No one will pay that. I wouldn't be shocked if someone did (maybe SF). The Browns used a 2nd on him just a couple of years ago. He has had dominant moments with TERRIBLE QB play.
It's in My Blood Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 I can't believe L. Fitzgerald is being shopped ( per Schefter). Does any more informed fan know why? Contract? Productivity? Forcing his way out? Very strange. This guy is a top 3 WR.
TheFunPolice Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 just please God not to New England (Fitzgerald)
Kemp2Warlick Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Ian Rapoport @RapSheet27m Would be very difficult to make a Jairus Byrd trade happen, according to…everyone RT @mattymelts: @RapSheet @NFL_ATL No chance of happening?
oman128 Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 What if the Bills did the unthinkable, and traded a player like CJ Spiller to Dallas.
Maury Ballstein Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 I can't believe L. Fitzgerald is being shopped ( per Schefter). Does any more informed fan know why? Contract? Productivity? Forcing his way out? Very strange. This guy is a top 3 WR. Set to make 18 mil next year.... Think zona needs to spend that cash elsewhere perhaps.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 What if the Bills did the unthinkable, and traded a player like CJ Spiller to Dallas. I wouldn't be more shocked if I woke up with my head sewn to the carpet.

He has had dominant moments with TERRIBLE QB play. You could be right. Crazy how trade value changes. Anquan Boldin was traded for a 6th (and when he went to the ravens, a 3rd and 4th).
NoSaint Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 I'd be good with that too. A big, young and talented playmaker would not be a bad investment. High price for a guy with a lot of baggage. Tough call.
BADOLBILZ Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 What if the Bills did the unthinkable, and traded a player like CJ Spiller to Dallas. .......for a third round pick. And then used their #1 pick this year on a new runnin' back.
K D Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 They are saying the Bills want players instead of draft picks for Byrd. I think that's crazy. Look at our draft this year. We were able to get some starters and impact players in the first 3 rounds. Trade Byrd for a 2nd or 3rd rounder
NoSaint Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 They are saying the Bills want players instead of draft picks for Byrd. I think that's crazy. Look at our draft this year. We were able to get some starters and impact players in the first 3 rounds. Trade Byrd for a 2nd or 3rd rounder I'd guess it means we aren't getting offered high picks.
Mickey Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Can we all at least agree not to have any more posts or threads about trading Byrd until the end of the season if the trade deadline passes and he is still a Bill? For the love of God, could we at least accomplish that one thing?
Kirby Jackson Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 High price for a guy with a lot of baggage. Tough call. Each of those WR that we are talking about has a lot of baggage. They are each high risk, high reward guys. You can afford to have a few of those IMO. It is a little different than someone like Da'Rick because the investment is a lot more. I just like the idea of a young stud WR to grow with EJ. It is a risk -no doubt but one that I would be willing to take. A lot of good teams do that.
BringBackFergy Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 I wouldn't be more shocked if I woke up with my head sewn to the carpet. Didn't I see you working the Tilt-a-Whirl last summer??
maddenboy Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 I found 5 or 6 spelling and grammar errors in that. Do people even proofread anymore? Sadly, they do not. I find grammar and even spelling errors everywhere. Often at PFT. About 3 years ago, before he went NBC, I volunteered about 3 times, via email, to proofread for free. No reply. These errors affect the flow of the reading. You can dumb down the language all you like, to least common denominator. But at least speak English. So many times I have to pause and wonder "wait, what?" It is fun to be the grammar police once in a while, but overall, I feel there is no respect for English, especially among those who went to college and studied journalism. Come on, man!!!
BRAWNDO Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 I don't think there's any way that the Bills franchise Byrd next year. Safety isn't a key position in their defense, and they're not going to devote $8+ million dollars to it for one more season of play from him. In what scenario outside of establishing a rep as tough negotiators does this make sense? I could see the Bills tagging him with the intention of trading him on the offseason.

In what scenario outside of establishing a rep as tough negotiators does this make sense? Has Parker out-maneuvered any NFL team twice in 4 years? Just wondering. I thought this team was supposed to be rebuilding and it's hard to justify trading an asset when you're 20M beneath the cap with no significant player due a contract extension until 2015.
