Brandon Beane got a draft pick for trading Marshall Newhouse.

 

Anything is possible.

And a 3rd for Tyrod!

[HalftimeAdjustment]

If either of them has more trade value than Josh Rosen, wow.

[Thurman#1]

This is a Beane specialty, getting extra picks from guys who were on the bubble anyway.

 

Go, Beane, go.

[Buffalo_Stampede]

Bills probably trying to give them away for conditional 7th round picks to keep them from the Jets.

[smuvtalker]

Jeez that's a shock to me to see Rankins name in trade rumors...yeah he's definitely had some injury issues but when healthy this guy is a disruptive difference maker on that D Line.  I'd argue he's an upgrade over any of the interior lineman we currently have on our roster...not named Ed Oliver

I see a market for Foster but not Croom.

I'd rather have Jonathan Harrison from the Jets than Brian Winters

I really know nothing about either guy.  Was Winters a solid starter for the Jets at some point?  We snatched him up pretty quick after the Jets let him go.  But the reviews on him in camp have not been sterling to say the least.  Anyone know much about Winters?

Beane, in standard form, will get a third and fourth. It’s just how he rolls. 😃 

He did get a what a fifth for Zay

Foster has some good tape from a couple years ago.  I could see a coach who watched Foster blow by his DBs 2 years ago offer a very late round pick for him.  I suspect coaches tend to remember the WRs who hurt them.  Speed kills. 

 

Speed kills, and it seems that Daboll's offense is pretty complex and Foster struggles with it.

 

It's possible that put him in a simpler offense he could exploit it

[TigerJ]

I can't imagine that either would fetch more than a very low pick, but Beane has surprised me before.

Other players said daboll offense pretty complex. Possible Foster might do better in simple offense.

Lol. They’ll get a bag of balls for Croom.

Ironically it's a bag of balls that has kept him here this long😜

[BuffaloButt]

If they can't find a trade partner and end up releasing Foster you know he's going to New England!

[Freddie's Dead]

Boy Toy on the block?  Kim Jr. will not be happy about that.

I really liked Sheldon Rankins coming out of college. Surprised he hasn’t done well so far.

 

Add me to that list.

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

I wonder if Croom retires, and is immediately announced as a VP of something at PS&E.  🤔

Because they have to pass waivers?

 

That’s exactly right, and the team trading can “control” where the player goes (outside the division/conference).

 

Let’s face it, Foster just isn’t in the Bills’ long term plans because of who they’ve acquired.  I hope they’re able to trade him outside the conference for a conditional pick and he gets a 2nd chance.

 

I don’t know what to make of Croom.  Jokes aside, they haven’t kept him around because he’s dating the owner’s daughter.  He’s a potential weapon in the passing game but apparently can’t block a toddler.

[The Firebaugh Kid]

I'm going to miss Foster. He looked so promising every time he touched the football. Its unfortunate but you can't keep everyone.

That was a mugging

[Back2Buff]

I would rather have Croom on this team over Lee Smith and Kroft.  Croom had a very respectable rookie season.
