Trubisky is a great insurance policy, and there is nobody else on the roster to fill that role. They would need to get Fitz in return, and I can't see Beane making a trade without improving the team for this year's playoff run, so any deal would also have to bring another player back to Buffalo. Preferably an interior OL.

 

Why would he trade Trubisky for a pick unless they were out of the playoff mix? If anything, Beane should be sending picks with Trubisky to get a nice return for this year's playoff run. I'm thinking Mitch plus a day 3 pick for Fitz plus a Guard. 

 

Yep.  I'd like to believe we're building a dynasty.    

 

But we've never even once won a Super Bowl.  So if there's a chance this year to make a run, we need to do it.   In other words, if anything, we should look to gain assets, not lose  them.  Trubisky may never play a down for the Bills.  But, man o' man, it would suck if our run this year was torpedoed by an Allen injury and we didn't have a viable backup.

That's a "season lost" IMO.

 

Superbowl or bust this year. 

 

True Allen would have to come back for the playoffs. I meant the Bills would be OK if Trubisky had to play some regular season games.

A 2nd doesn’t even feel like it would be enough for what Trubisky brings to us

[BuffaloRebound]

If true, it’s gotta be for a player or players.  

[BuffaloBillyG]

Would rather keep Mitch. However WFT has a pot of pass rushers...

We need OL help. What do they have?

Schweitzer is 11th ranked RG.

The ultimate buzz kill for anyone wanting a blockbuster deadline deal would be getting a 5th round pick for Trubisky. It would be the opposite of Viagra. It would be what emergency rooms give people with erections lasting more than 4 hours.

I don't think we should be trading away assets this year, and I definitely don't want to see Trubisky traded away.  We can win a playoff game or two with Trubisky under center IMO -- obviously he's a big step down from Allen, but I wouldn't mind our chances if we had to start him in a WC against the Browns or somesuch.  

 

Unless we're just completely bending Washington over -- and this is Dan Snyder we're talking about so it's not like that's out of the question or anything -- don't do it.

seriously though I'd trade Mitch for a mid-round pick and Tim Settle

A healthy Fitz, yeah, but at this point, nobody knows when he'll be cleared to play.

We can afford to wait on Fitz to get healthy, if we get the OG we so desperately need.

[Virgil]

I figured the Saints and Panthers might inquire too

They should get a comp pick after he signs somewhere else for next season, so they probably get a 3rd if he stays. Hard to imagine a trade being worth it for little overall return and having no insurance against a Josh injury.

Probably not a comp pick. We usually pick up several high quality FA, who want to come here and work on short term, not super expensive contracts.  We would have to "neutralie" or counterweight all those before they would think about a comp pick for us.

We send them Mitch. They take on all of Brandon Scherffs contract and we have an all pro guard.  Make it so. 

It has to be a deal for a player that will help THIS season.  Don’t trade Mitch for a worthless 4th or 5th round pick

I forgot Fitzy was on their team as well. He'd be a perfect backup as well. Mitch for Scherff and Fitzy.

It’s not certain but definitely possible, considering that the Bills won’t have as much cap space to sign FA’s.  Pretty sure this was part of the reason why Beane’ signed him

[BearNorth]

Schweitzer is under contract through 2022 with a $6MM cap hit next year.

i  love to have Antonio Gibson as a Bill.

Id be ok with a Scherff Gibson package. 
 

We trade Mitch and Singletary for Scherff and Gibson. Make it so. 

[clayboy54]

Mitch and Mario for Chase Young & Brandon Scherff.

 

Sounds fair to me. 😈

[BuffaloRebound]

This actually makes a ton of sense all the way around.  And I’m sure Mitch is tired of holding a clipboard.  He got his reset.  An extra 2-3 months of being a backup probably overkill for him.  I’m sure he’s ready to ball again and there’s a fair amount of teams who’d play him the rest of the season.

Even if we had to throw in our 1st, I’d do this trade in a heart beat.
