YoloinOhio Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 I think this was assumed with his contract but another opportunity for the Bills to obtain a good vet WR
BringBackOrton Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 TRADE FOR PARKER AND THOMAS. They will instantly be #1 and #2. 1 1

machine gun kelly Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 They were talking about it this morning on WGR and I think it Jeremy who mentioned he’d rather trade for Amari Cooper since Gruden is selling. He has a lot of years ahead of him and may cost more in draft capital but far cheaper than a 31 yr old Thomas who has a high price tag for half a year.

Cooper is something I would like to have happen too... but either one would be a huge upgrade at a position of need. They aren’t getting a good WR to sign here in FA and they need to add a vet somehow. 1

Be patient and keep the picks and start planning to smartly use the bulk cap space on next year's roster. I'm not against getting a player such as Thomas but you won't get much utility out of him this year because our qb situation is still very unsettled with a struggling rookie and a very pedestrian backup qb. The Bills have a road map and they don't need to deviate from it.
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 Another guy that makes a ton of sense even for the future. Another guy that we won’t even get a sniff at. It’s a shame. Need aggression towards getting better at the position...won’t get it though 1
BillsFanForever19 Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 DT and Amari Cooper available via trade. Terrelle Pryor and Kamar Aiken both recently released. Dez Bryant and Jeremy Maclin on the Free Agent market. But we'll sit on our hands because WR is not important to McBeane. 2 1

The Bills have a road map and they don't need to deviate from it. Anyone they trade for will need to be for this year and at least one future year. I get what you are saying but they aren’t going to get a decent vet WR to sign here in FA. And adding a rookie is great - they will need to do that too - but I really think they need to add a vet for Allen. KB will be gone. Trade is the only way to obtain a good vet WR. They will need do massively overpay in FA even to get a #2/3 WR like Boyd or Tyrell Williams

TheFunPolice Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 Let me guess... He goes to NE for a 2021 6th rounder 2
US Egg Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 Need someone who can throw the ball accurately 1st.
thebandit27 Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 I believe that I called this several weeks ago

While the salary and cap hit may seem high, one need only to look at the contracts WRs were getting in FA this year. The Bills would be looking at that and then some, as they will hardly be a choice destination for vet WRs. The draft is hit or miss to put it mildly. A trade of this sort would actually be an affordable option. 1

Just as LA was crazy to trade for Watkins, who stayed for just the last year of his rookie deal. Go draft some top guys or get guys in FA who actually can be signed to longer term deals who actually want to be here. I want guys who will stay long enough to see this thing play out. Sorry, WR problem not getting solved for this season. Trust the Process. Edited October 21, 2018 by ProcessTruster more info

Yeah like trading a third for Benjamin mid season. Very anti-Process.
