Kelly the Dog Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 ESPN's Adam Caplan reports the Bills have had WR T.J. Graham on the trade block "for several months." It's hardly surprising, as it's been assumed Graham's roster spot was in danger since the end of last season. Graham has had a quiet camp, and caught only two passes through four preseason games. The Bills' new brain trust has no allegiance to former GM Buddy Nix's 2012 third-round pick. Whaley is pretty good at this kind of stuff, as evidenced by the Hughes for Sheppard trade, and even Thad for Chris White (which worked for a year at least). He may still be able to pry a back-up that can contribute for a backup that cannot.

He may still be able to pry a back-up that can contribute for a backup that cannot. Carolina or Cleveland might be interested. @caplannfl Tonight's games are important for many backups as they'll be auditioning, in a sense, for other teams. For example, the #Bills have had WR T.J. Graham on the trade block for several months, sources said. Edited August 28, 2014 by 26CornerBlitz
FireChan Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 How many trade partners are out there for Hogan?
Deranged Rhino Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 If Whaley can pull another rabbit out of his hat and trade someone who's destined to be cut in the next 72 hours, that would be incredible. I just don't see it happening without him being showcased tonight. Let's see how many balls he has thrown his way tonight, I'm guessing he'll once again be invisible though not for lack of effort.
RuntheDamnBall Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 It's kind of wild that a WR known for his speed, who can't catch a cold and has been hobbling post-surgery, can't find any suitors.
Saint Doug Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Isn't the NFL already full of undersized WRs trying (and failing) to make a name for themselves? I guess a 7th rounder would be better than nothing, but I'm sure he'll be cut outright and become a statistic.
John from Riverside Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 TJ for Christian Ponder TJ for Christian Ponder PLEASE
RuntheDamnBall Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 TJ for Christian Ponder Why on earth would the Vikes want to do this?
Fan in Chicago Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Whaley is pretty good at this kind of stuff, as evidenced by the Hughes for Sheppard trade, and even Thad for Chris White (which worked for a year at least). He may still be able to pry a back-up that can contribute for a backup that cannot. And yet couldn't get anything for TJ. Quite telling. Assuming we keep 6 WRs, the marginal player is better to be ST contributor like Easley or a hard worker like Hogan.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 TJ for Christian Ponder I can't see it since they already have a good receiving corps with Patterson, Jennings, and Rudolph.
RuntheDamnBall Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 I can't see it since they already have a good receiving corps with Patterson, Jennings, and Rudolph. But what if we really, really want Ponder and select "force trade"?
bonechiller Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 TJ for Cousins! yeah, and a second round pick, heck I bet we could even get them to throw in a pick for next year also! Yeah right, dreaming is fun!
Deranged Rhino Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 But what if we really, really want Ponder and select "force trade"? :lol:
RuntheDamnBall Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 I think if Whaley really holds his position and builds a time machine, he could trade TJ and his superior athleticism to the "Wide World of Sports" for some ABC mic flags.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 But what if we really, really want Ponder and select "force trade"? Well that makes all the difference.
BuffaloPride Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 TJ for Cousins! yeah, and a second round pick, heck I bet we could even get them to throw in a pick for next year also! Yeah right, dreaming is fun! Cousins isn't going anywhere, but RG3 may soon be available.
Kelly the Dog Posted August 28, 2014 Author Posted August 28, 2014 But what if we really, really want Ponder and select "force trade"? :lol: That really may work.
John from Riverside Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 I realize that the trade is a bit imbalanced........ That said Ponder is the 3rd QB on their roster......it would take a little more then Graham but not THAT much more
Kipers Hair Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 I understand Pettine has interest, but is willing to gamble on waivers...
