Rumored Giants Players Available for Trade

I’d think there would be little to do with the NYG as far as player trades.  With a new regime the two big drivers usually are:

- Poor scheme fit of existing players.  As I’d expect Daboll to require similar skill sets to those on our roster I’d expect him to be getting rid of players that don’t fit our system.  He might want to acquire players from us, but we really don’t have anyone of high value to give up.  Maybe just looking at a depth player with upside.

- Shedding older, higher priced vets to purge cap.  Really don’t see the fit here.  We aren’t looking to take on many big contracts. 

I see pick for picks draft weekend trades as more likely.

This makes a ton of sense and hits the mark. They are going to want the same types of players. Especially if they wind up hiring a Steve Wilks as a D-coordinator. Then it's gonna be Buffalo south. I could see trades sending our guys to them being more likely than us taking from them.

Barkley is very very intriguing but the injury history is very worrisome for me.

Edmunds and a 3rd round pick straight up for Bradbury and Barkley who says no?

 

Time for Beane to fleece his protege.

Our salary cap says no to that

What about Edmunds for Barkley straight up. The Giants can extend Edmunds to lower his cap a lot.

The Bills do because they'd be taking on roughly 18 million dollars in cap spce and giving up a 3rd rounder and even though i'm not a huge fan, arguably the best players in the deal

[HappyDays]

Why is everyone considering a $7.2 million cap hit to be that bad? Mario Addison had an $8.2 million cap hit last year. Getting a young RB two years after his ACL injury on an offense where he wouldn't have to carry the load sounds like an ideal scenario to me.

If the Bills feel Bradberry is true #1 quality CB then they can trade for him and extend him to lower the cap hit significantly. His cap hit is only $1.3 million in 2023.

It's a government plot against Bills fans to stealthily invade TBD with mouth-breathers.  The sleeper cells are activating now.

Toney was good when he played. He reminds me of Percy Harvin.

I can't imagine that he is on the block. Doesn't seem to make much sense from the outside.

He just turned 24 years old. The injuries also mean less carries over 4 seasons.

 

I understand the injury history is a concern. An example? Look no further than James Connor last year. He's been injured every year and last year put together a good season.

 

The cap number is the worry. Conner played on a very low cap number, Barkley wouldn't. But it's only a 1 year risk. 

 

I look at the 1 year more than the cap number. The 1 year deal is what makes him a match for the Bills.

Expand  

 

The Bills have to improve the OL, or signing an RB makes no sense (and with a better OL, they may have less need for a top RB talent; we're not gonna be a run-centric team).    They need to re-do the DL, even if they keep Star and re-sign Harry, it's just Not Good Enough.  They need a CB, even if they re-sign Wallace, because the smart money doesn't count on Tre to be "full go" by the start of next season - 9-12 month injury.

 

You may look at the 1 year more than the cap number, but the Bills have a lot to do.  They need to look at the cap number.

I agree, I think it's just Some Dude speculating.  Give your talented 1st round picks more than 1 year, especially with a coaching and scheme change.

Errrr....didn't almost everyone consider Mario Addison's $8.2M cap hit to be outrageous "overpayment for production" last season, given his 2020 contributions?

I agree with the first part, although with $13.4M cap hit they'd have to probably renegotiate prior to the trade.

OTOH, the man is 29, and in order to lower his cap hit he'd need a 3 or 4 year contract.

 

His cap hit is not "only $1.3M in 2023".  He's a FA in 2023.  That's a void year added onto the contract to amortize the signing bonus and reduce the cap hit in previous years.  https://overthecap.com/player/james-bradberry/4775/

Barkley is damaged goods. I'd rather draft a kid that has less NFL treads on his tires and vam keep for at least 4 years at a low salary.

Agreed.  Top talen in the draft, who has not been able to stay healthy and play up to the talent he showed in college.

Yes, Addison was overpaid. My point is that it was not a prohibitive cap hit. If we take on Barkley's one year cap hit and cut Addison, it's a wash. And I believe the impact Barkley would have on the team would be substantially greater than Addison's impact has been.

 

This is the first time I've really considered the idea that Barkley would be a good trade candidate because all along I assumed that when people said his contract was "untradeable," it looked a lot worse than this. Now I see that it's a one year deal with a moderate cap hit for a player with incredible raw talent looking to prove himself in his last chance season before hitting free agency. The risk/reward trade off is more than worth it IMO. And if his contract is as "untradeable" as people say we can likely get him for a bargain.

He mightt be another Garrison Hearst but I'd let another team risk it.

Toney is interesting.  He does have some Tyreek Hill to him which Beane repeatedly made reference to looking for, not quite as fast but incredibly quick.  They’d have to be convinced they can absorb the personality.  If so, I wonder if they’d send someone like Epenesa in a trade - would not shock me to see him used as trade collateral for someone this offseason.  Even though they’d be dealing him at a lowered value, he’s a cost-controlled asset at a premium position and the Bills may not have space for him (or a coherent plan for what to do with him).

Barkley is almost a lock to be traded IMHO (even though some posters here said I was crazy and that he isnt going anywhere) and I think Bradberry likely could be out of there this year too.  I also think they will try and move Golladay, but they will have a harder time finding suitors for him and his contract. 

 

Toney on the other hand, I really doubt he goes anywhere.  2nd year player, kid can be electric, and he is cheap in terms of cap space.  He wasn't able to stay on the field, so who knows, maybe they just want to clean house and get value for him now (he would actually have by far the most trade value of these 3 in terms of compensation back between youth, explosiveness, and attractive contract situation) and invest in other parts of the team first like the trenches.  But, still seems a lot less likely than the other 2.

Expand  

 

"some posters here said I was crazy"??

 

No they SAY you are crazy or senseless for thinking that the Bills can trade for him and just simply re-work his contract to lower his cap hit. 

 

It makes absolutely zero sense for the player to do so unless the contract extension is close to what he could expect if he repeated his 2018 stats in 2022.........plus, of course, the $7.2M he is otherwise guaranteed in full for 2022.

 

The only way Barkley gets traded is an NBA style salary cap dump........the Giants are so up against the salary cap they aren't even in position to just do a bad contract swap.
