Bill from NYC Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 1 hour ago, HOUSE said: Buffalo would need to over pay making a trade in the same division, lets face it, won't happen Not necessarily. The Jets are tanking, no? Losing Williams would HELP the Jets, not hurt them. If the Jets lose out and draft 1st, they will make untold money by drafting Lawrence. Seriously. 1
Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 4 minutes ago, Bill from NYC said: Hard to say. I will state point blank that I am SURE that he is a very good football player. About this I have no doubt. Still in all, I think that he went a bit early in the draft and remember saying so on this board with @BADOLBILZ. Now, what would be the cost? That is clearly the deciding factor under any conditions. A late 1st? A 2nd and a 4th? I suppose it would depend on how much Beane (notice I said Beane, not McDermott) thinks that we need him. That said, would the Jets trade him in the division? Normally I would say no way, but I make the case that they are CLEARLY tanking. I said this before I heard anything about this article. I think that the possibility exists that we could get him. As I said in another post, Lawrence in NY (NJ) would be the next Joe Namath in terms of hype, etc. He would make the owner of the Jets untold millions and increase the value of the franchise by a billion or so. As always, jmo. Very measured take, @Bill from NYC, Thanks! I think your point is well-taken that while Frazier and McDermott say they have the personnel they need, it is ultimately Beane who is evaluating the roster and making decisions about where we need to improve. 1 hour ago, Victory Formation said: I’d give them a 2nd plus Cody Ford for him.

He isn’t getting playing time I think he is depth this year. and just drafted Simmons who is a very similar player. https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/nfl/snap-counts?year=2020&team=ARI&week=ALL&position=LB&op=Submit&form_build_id=form-vWpKbaQFrdc5UhXGsJO3cBcoYqKyg7aOd7AitCfTLuA&form_id=fo_stats_snap_counts_form Edited October 15, 2020 by MAJBobby

We are running on 2019 tape for most of these guys. Depending on cost, there is more value to making a move like this than there is to going after guys in the draft. Curious what the cost is. It may even be worth while for Buffalo to jump a round or add the additional pick because it is in the division. Maybe not with Williams, but any other opportunities that might arise. Cheers! What are you talking about?! I will say there is better college football this year. Teams playing conference only schedules don’t get to take weeks off, well at least in the SEC.
jkeerie Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 I think Williams could help the Bills, but likely the price will be too high.

If it is a second rounder only I would go for it. He is a great talent and contract is reasonable now- would be possibly hold out for more money is my only concern of investment

Sure but it takes two, and I don’t even think they are that dumb to trade their 2019 1st rounder to a division “rival”

gobills404 Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 Offer them harrison, a 2nd, and tell them Allen will give Darnold free quarterbacking lessons.

No way. He’s worth a tire kick but the rate is a lot lower than a 2.

I think that at this point, losing is clearly what the Jets are striving for this season.

Oliver had a great year last year. The bills now have 3 starters gone from last year’s line and I know a lot of focus is on the interior of the line but our run D is better than most think. Our pass D is atrocious. Our ends get zero pressure and when we do get beaten on big runs, they come when our ends consistently have no seal. They’ve been terrible. I can’t judge Oliver harshly when only he and Addison are doing anything. 1
