If the player is going to be a FA they would work out an extension agreement before the trade. They aren’t giving up a pick for 2 months of a player, obviously. I agree with that but I wouldn't want to give up much of anything for Thomas who will be 31 soon.

They also should look to improve the passing offense with trades this season. They have too many holes to fill with just the draft and a very expensive WR market in FA, where they will be competing with more attractive destinations for players. If you give the players the money they will come here. What you do is overpay for a few guys on short deals 3 or 4 years so it corresponds with the end of Allen's rookie deal. This is all assuming Allen pans out which is very much up in the air.

Yeah but why take on a bad contract when that’s exactly why they are in the position they are in now? They would only do that if we were going somewhere. I believe he still has 2 years left on his deal. But it’s a lot of money where as they can get cheaper, younger, longer contracted players through the draft. I don’t seem them making this trade.

Other teams have cap space too. The Bills are basically at the bottom of the pecking order.

Because you trade for him, restructure and now you have a #1/#2 WR under contact for 2-3 years for your young QB to throw to.

I'd rather trade a fifth for a WR who has proven something in this league than a seventh for a WR who is a 1st round bust. Those late round picks are borderline meaningless. It's a calculated risk. We simply HAVE to get WR talent around Allen. It's priority #1. Look at what Goff and Wentz got. Mahomes. Watson. The blueprint is out, draft a QB and give him help. We can draft a guy high AND trade for a DT or Cooper. But trotting Allen out there next year with Zay, Holmes and a third unknown quantity is unacceptable. 1

We aren’t competitive. I think we hold onto our picks and hopefully use them wisely ...nor do I see McBeane paying him $14+ mil next year........

I just worry that this is how they like their WR core. No big names and no ego. Just guys who are "work hard" overachiever types. Look at what Cam has had at WR in Carolina since he came into the league.

They are not borderline meaningless, just look at Matt Milano or Karlos Williams. How about Antonio Brown who was a 6th rounder. Brandon Marshall had one great season with the Jets and that was it. He was pretty much done after that. Also, Amari Cooper is one thing but Thomas is another so please don't throw Cooper in here now like I was advocating against something like that. I would be very interested in trading for Cooper if the Bills could get it done. When you talk about Thomas I would rather just wait until the off-season and see what may be available. Allen may not even play again this season and this team is not sniffing the playoffs, so count me out on the desperate moves for 31 year old receivers who are on the decline.

Karlos Williams is out of the league dude. Unreal that you bring up Antonio Brown after saying Brandon Marshall is cherry picking. Let's just draft Tom Brady in the sixth too, I agree that's the best way to build a team. Grab AB, Richard Sherman, Brady all in the fifth and sixth round. Excellent plan. 1

Maclin has already turned us down and Dez is only interested in a Super Bowl contender. Stop with these names, every time WR is mentioned

The more you have, the more likely you are to find a good player. Your stance that they are borderline meaningless is plain foolish. Also you are just throwing a bunch of stuff out there that I never said and trying to apply it to me because your argument is stupid. I am totally fine with trading for receivers that fit in to the plan timeline wise. You brought up the Rams and Chiefs as examples on how to build a team which I agree is the right way to go. They all went after receivers who are in their primes. I am totally cool with that. What I don't want is to trade picks for guys that are on the decline and will be done in a year or two. You are making up things that I never said or alluded to and trying to use them to defend your argument. You look like a clown. Edited October 21, 2018 by K-GunJimKelly12

Pryor has a reputation of being soft and difficult to work with. He hasn't done much of anything over the last few seasons. Kamar who? They made an offer to Maclin last season, he declined. He's sitting on his couch because he's not worth what he's asking for. Same for Dez Bryant. Cooper would be nice but the Raiders are currently asking for a 1st. Not gonna happen. Thomas has been in decline for a while now and has a heavy contract.

The Bills would have been better off trading the picks used on Ray Ray and Proehl for DT. The Bills have not drafted a Pro Bowler after round 4 since 2005. These are undebateable facts.
