Bills trade Sammy Watkins to Rams for CB Gaines, 2nd rd pick

[WhitewalkerInPhilly]

I go away for 2 hours, and what the hell happens?

 

I am stunned. Floored.

[Bleeding Bills Blue]

Sammy is gone but Vlad Ducasse remains.

 

cuz we could get a 2nd round pick from a probably bad team. Ducasse is just going to get cut.

We ARE the Browns!

I'm sick to my stomach. This just confirms my biggest fear about handing the organization to young guys that are the "smartest guys in the room." It has that McDaniels feel to me at the moment. These are terrible trades.

More mid round picks to trade away on draft day

[Big C]

the patriots have a track record of sustained success the likes of which is rarely seen in sports. the bills have a track record of getting their tongue stuck to the same light post year after year after year.

 

Not the point, though. It's a team that knows they aren't re-signing a player that will command big money in free agency and getting something for that player instead of just losing them the following year. This difference is the Patriots didn't need Jones and we probably needed Sammy.

We can't judge the trades yet.

 

We'll judge them in two years once we've seen who the picks acquire. If those picks don't work out, then we'll be looking for another new coach at the end of the 2018 season.

Wow-- shocking news. They must be preparing for the 2018 draft, and realize this season is pretty much a wash.

It's like their in a backassward bizzaro world arms race with the Jets.

I would be shocked to see some serious disdain on the part of the players after McDermott doing something like this....

 

If the players haven't firmly bought into what McDermott is selling, isn't a move like this something that can truly put these players into the "eff this new coach" mindset?

[CEN-CAL17]

Truly I think Sammy has lost a step. Very deliberate with each step as if he's favoring that foot.

 

My heart of hearts tells me he injures that foot again this year.

[Deranged Rhino]

Sammy is gone but Vlad Ducasse remains.

if I don't laugh I'll cry.

[BillsFan692]

Save us cap$ for sure

[LeGOATski]

i don't know how to see it any other way. if they don't make a move for a qb in the draft, i'll be pretty amazed.

I'll be amazed if that QB isn't a total bust. Haha...

The Ginger Hammer had fallen!!!!!

Sean McBean fixing Whaley's mistakes.

Yeah, trading a wr with top 5 ability for a cb with 2 INTs is a great move!

[John Cocktosten]

They're obviously playing for 2023

Not in preseason, takes at least 10 games to write off a coaching system.

If the Tank is on TT would be gone too

[Nick the Greek]

I honestly thought this was gonna be Sammy's break out year.. too bad it will be for another team
