TOboy Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 I really want Clowney, but not for a 1st. Shaq and a 2 makes plenty of sense, provided we've already worked out an extension.
Buddy Hix Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 I think it’s too risky to give up 1st round picks without knowing what we have in Josh Allen, and the entire offensive unit. If it was a sure thing that Allen and the O would take a big step forward this season, it might be worthwhile. But if things go the other way than this trade ends up being a big mistake. 1
HOUSE Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 A #1 is okay, Buffalo will be drafting #32 anyway 1 2 5
billsbackto81 Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 Its a tough one. The Bills are at least IMO a 8-9 win team which puts them in the late teens and upper 20's draft wise. So the real question I guess should be would you give up the 18th-20th pick next year and Lawson this year for Clowney this year.? Clowneys not my first choice but we need a pass rusher and I have to admit that him and Hughes on the edges with Star and Oliver in the middle is very appealing. 1
BobDVA Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 I would not give anything but a 6th 2020, possible conditional 5th. The Texans may take it as the cost of buying cap space. 1
K-9 Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 Clowney would have to agree to an extension before I made the deal. And I’d have no problem trading next year’s first. Would people really pass up Jadeveon Clowney if he was sitting there when it’s our turn to pick? Really?

Kirby Jackson Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 Lawson and a 2nd works for me assuming an extension is worked out. I don’t see it happening but would be fine with it. 3
Mrbojanglezs Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) I would do it for a 2nd+Shaq, but the money scares me Edited May 10, 2019 by Mrbojanglezs 1 1

I think there is a chance Allen plays at the same level or regresses, which would really limit the offensive unit and most likely lead to marginally improved performance despite the additions. Obviously, hoping that isn’t the case but it needs to be considered when analyzing the risk of making bold moves like trading next year’s high picks.

Fair point but I see no scenario where we would be using our 1st next year on a QB. Even if Allen is not the guy, we probably won't no for at least another year.

Last year of contract. He’s basically a rental player who will want mega bucks. No thanks. I kind of like keeping out firsts.
nucci Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 Why would they want Lawson? 6 minutes ago, Buddy Hix said: I think there is a chance Allen plays at the same level or regresses, which would really limit the offensive unit and most likely lead to marginally improved performance despite the additions.

I get it, the time to pay a guy like this is now with Allen's contract. But it would be probably pretty close to Frank Clark's 5 yr(s) / $104M / 62M guaranteed deal

But i will say , probably for the first time as a die hard fan of this team , i completely trust and will be optimistic towards any moves made by this front office.
