Old news.  They restructured Lane Johnson and now 'chump change' away.  Chances good they've working on Michael Bennett and Brandon Graham, but they could get there right now by cutting a guy making $1M or so

Thanks.   That means there's no real pressure on the Eagles and they're holding the Bills up for whatever they can get.    

 

The Bills are the last likely bidder for Foles.   In some ways that's better for the Bills - the Eagles can't play teams against each other.   On the other hand, if the Eagles aren't under any great pressure, they can just sit tight.  As I said above, the Bills MUST do something by the draft.

This is not yet updated with their recent FA signings especially of Nigel Bradham. 5 years $40 mil has to have made a dent.

If they truly believe Wentz will be 100% by the beginning of the season, then it would be in their best interests to move Foles this off season, if they are interested in a reasonable (2nd round) draft pick. He is a free agent after next season and they will not get anything for him. I know they want a 1st rounder for him - but I don't think anyone will give that to them...but, I could be wrong about that.

 

He is a free agent next year if with the Eagles in 2018. With the Bills would'nt he be locked up a further three years?

Tick tick, tick tick. Hope they get this put together quickly or the tipster will have to find a new source other than a guy from the DMVs cousin who may own a bar or is just the guy at the end of the bar at some random Buffalo location

I heard something similar from the guy in the next stall while dropping a deuce at Walmart. I wouldn't automatically dismiss this from happening.

I wouldn't mind Foles and then drafting Lamar Jackson at #22. The OC could get very creative in using Jackson while having him develop under Foles.

I just moved back to Fort Myers, FL (Sammy’s hometown) and I had to register my vehicle from out of state. The guy at the DMV that helped me is from Buffalo. His cousin still owns a bar up in Buffalo, he didn’t say which one and truthfully I really don’t care, and he said that Buffalo is making a trade with the Eagles for Nick Foles today after 4:00 pm. After thinking about it it makes sense for several reasons. First a team doesn’t trade away their starting QB without having a plan for his replacement. Secondly it’s been awful quiet concerning Foles. To take this a step further the guy says that we’re not drafting a QB in the first round, meaning that our draft capital is going to be to be used on building this team. He did not say what the compensation is going to be but I couldn’t imagine it using the bulk of our resources. Take it for what it is worth, I’m just trying to share what I heard but this does make a ton of sense. 

 

Go Bills!

Stop starting threads.

If, and it's a huge If, something like this is true, could be they moved up to 12 for the Eagles, will swap 1st (Eagles get 12, Bills get Foles and last pick of 1st) with may be a few other picks swapped both ways.

 

Bills keep 22nd pick and get Jackson or Rudolph or another 2nd tier guy and keep most of their other high picks

 Who knows with these guys in charge what they are thinking.....

hopefully not that

Bills already traded Jackson to Cleveland.

The Billsiest thing Buffalo could do would be to make all these awesome trades and signings, draft a CB at 12, trade a 6th for Trevor Siemian, and sign AJ McCarron.

 

I hope those days are gone.  Foles isn't coming off his only good year, but he may flourish in only a limited set of circs I'm not sure we have.  It would be a let down to not draft high.

I'm sure it did, but possibly only $2M or so this year ($8M bonus prorated over 5 years, minimum salary this year).  The point is, they are down into territory where a couple more renegotiations and cutting a smaller player or two will let them keep up with further signings, and without trading Foles.

Why would we trade away a 1st for a QB who will be here for at best 2-3 seasons

 

Well, if he makes good here no reason we couldn't pay him and he'd be here for more.  But it's not my first choice for sure.
