Why? Dawkins is stability at LT. Glenn only played in 5 games.

I know, but from RIchie's perspective, Dawkins is just a kid.  And there'll be a kid on the other side. 

 

I'm not complaining.   I assume they got decent value for him, and I think the move means they were happy with Dawkins.   

 

Plus, I love the assertiveness.   These guys have a plan and they are goin after it.   

 

When Whaley inked someone, maybe Hughes, he said he was happy because the Bills had their six key players.   He said you can afford to pay six guys big salaries, and the Bills had their six.   Well, Gilmore, Dareus, Taylor and Watkins are GONE.   So much for his key players.

Glenn only played 16 games in the last 3 seasons. We won't get close to a 2nd for him. This is a salary dump like Dareus. I'd be happy to be wrong about this though.

It smacks entirely of a salary cap type maneuver.

I'm torn on this.  He's a damn good player.

He sure is but Dawkins is a helluva player as well and almost certainly will improve in year 2, and he's already a stud! 

Any time you have a stud LT on a rookie deal, that really helps the whole roster because veterans at LT cost an arm and a leg. 

Fantastic move, more ammo in draft and FA! 

This front office continues to impress!

12th pick to Bill's

Did we swap 1sts? 

 

Or did we get the 12th pick straight up?

 

Beane is the best GM ever if he got #12 straight up!

I'd like this more if Wood were still playing.  40% turnover on the line is substantial.

 

Hard to call it 40% when Dawkins played much of the year. Also, I believe in Groy as, at minimum, a placeholder at center.
