vincec Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Don't like this move. Good LTs are very valuable and the Bills don't have 2 good tackles right now so he would have a been a great bookend with Dawkins.

Outside of signing our own that, to me, doesn’t mean a whole lot. because of expiring contracts in 2018, most teams would logically see a jump in 2019 cap space. Probably consists of way less than 51 contracts. So while a lot of money, it's misleading to an extent. But it does give roster flexibility. Edited March 12, 2018 by klos63

We're not taking Barkley. the Browns can take him at one. or maybe even 4 if they make some deals. and still draft the QB they like at 2 or 3. crazy potentials

While it's tough to part with a quality player, I'm now very confident that Beane has his plan and I would say that by 2019 season, you will see this roster filled out the way he wants it. Not saddled with long term deals and plenty of players on their rookie contracts. He will have the ability to add players at key positions with cap flexibility.
Exxdee Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 wow, great trade. I love Cordy, but foot injuries are pesky and he's pilling them up. Dion seems to only be comfortable at LT, so Cordy had to learn RT or just back up. At 12, it's the perfect spot to draft Lamar Jackson to secure him without reaching since he's a QB. Or they could move up for D'Arnold (what my heart wants) or Rosen (the logical choice with their fondness for Peterman me thinks). Fun times for Bills fan, so much action

Correct me if I am wrong but is there any Watkins dead money on the books for 2018? He was on the last year of his deal and he was traded before the 2017 season started, I think the big dead cap money is coming from Dareus, Glenn, Taylor, and Wood mostly.

Sure that is the case but a likely scenario is we commit $32mm of the $40mm cap available this year and then roll over some $8mm to 2019. Coupled with reduction in dead moneys and increase in cap, even when you account for the players to be signed in FA and drafted this year in 2019, we could have $65-$70mm avaialble cap in FA in 2019.

If solely based on Glenn as a football player. You don't trade away unhealthy player to screw your new best friend. Business move i have to accept and will. Like i mentioned, they sure as heck best have a plan and they sure as heck better not trot out Ducasse and that other guy over there. especially if Glenn or Dawkins would have moved over and upgrade that side of the ball. But one hell of a trade !

If it's true then the move makes sense on the player personnel front as well as the draft capital front...Cordy would not be a happy camper positioning himself for his future at RT Edited March 12, 2018 by Hapless Bills Fan

To be fair that’s more you being out of line than Beane performing miracles

Some say in whispers that it has to do with the activities of Beane's non-identical twin, Baldrick Beane. He avoids the public eye. He moves in the shadows and is rarely seen. Back home they called him "The Mean Beane". I must say no more. 2
Buffalo Ballin Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Cordy Glenn is cool. He's one of the top tackles in the NFL when healthy. Thanks for the years here, big man. And I thought the best we could get for Cordy Glenn is a third round pick. We got the 12th pick in the draft. We should celebrate just because of that. Props to Beane.

Any interest in swapping one of them for some picks? Beane: "Cordy Glenn is a great LT and we expect him to come back strong, but we are happy with how Dawkins has played. We could move Cordy. What did you have in mind?" Chris Ballard: "How about a 5th and a 6th?" Beane: "Wrong price range, later!"
