Process Posted August 22, 2022 Posted August 22, 2022 I don't care that Moss scored some meaningless preseason touchdowns. He is nothing special and can easily be replaced by an undrafted free agent. If the Bills could somehow get a 4th or 5th round pick it's a no brainer. 1 1 Quote
eball Posted August 22, 2022 Posted August 22, 2022 6 minutes ago, Logic said: I respectfully disagree that they've been showcasing Moss for a trade. If you want to trade him, you give him a bunch of carries in the second half of games. You don't mix him in with the 1st and 2nd units in camp and preseason, and you don't give him repeated goal line carries. Further, Moss offers power and short yardage/goal line ability that no one else on the roster has. Blacksheer and Johnson are both more similar to Singletary and Cook. No one else has what Moss has, unless they want to make Gilliam the full time short yardage back. All signs point to Singletary, Moss, Cook and Jones being the RB foursome that the Bills roll with this year. Agree, man. I don't understand the "trade Moss" movement. He was not healthy last year, and a Motor/Moss/Cook combo makes this backfield pretty scary. That said, I don't think the Bills give Motor or Moss 2nd contracts. I'll reserve my right to opine on Cook until he has played a regular season snap. 2 Quote

Maybe a 4th at best. If Devin goes down are you really good with a rookie in Blackshear or you would keep Duke Johnson over Moss? I don't see any team offering a 3rd for Moss 3 years after we drafted him in the same round. But for something like a conditional 5th/6th rounder I think Beane would probably be inclined to do it even if they know they probably aren't resigning Singletary after this season. 1 1 Quote

I'd be mildly surprised, but I think for the right price (that we won't get) he's moveable. Edited August 22, 2022 by NickelCity 1 Quote

I'm not sure the ones you named have value (perhaps Lawson?). I could see Epenesa or Basham having some value. Quote

I have no interest in giving either Moss or Singletary a 2nd contract unless they show something this year that we haven't previously seen. In some respect, and please note that I understand that this will never and should never happen, the most logical move would be to ship out Singletary for a pick and keep Blackshear since he's really in the mold of Singletary (lesser runner, but better receiver), and you still have Moss under contract for an additional year. 1 Quote

I'll reserve my right to opine on Cook until he has played a regular season snap. I agree. I think another reason the Bills will keep Moss is that they're likely to let Singletary walk this offseason. Moss, then, could be the thunder to Cook's lightning in 2023 (assuming he plays well this season, of course). Cook is the only running back on the roster that I could see getting a second contract. I only believe in giving second contracts to running backs who either offer dynamic, homerun hitting ability, or are serious threats in the passing game. Cook potentially checks both of those boxes. Obviously, it's way too early to declare that he'll be worthy of big money in a few years, but he at least seems to have the skillset that makes it a reasonable conversation. Otherwise, I'm team "don't give second contracts to running backs, especially if you're paying big money to a quarterback". (Sorry, that's a long team name). 3 1 Quote

I don't think so. Singletary has looked really explosive and shifty the last two weeks. I think he's going to be terrific in this offense. Moss is going to be the short yardage/change of pace guy, and Cook will play a lot as a receiver. When is Singletary's deal up? I see Cook developing into a primary back. 3 Quote

Simon Says Posted August 22, 2022 Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) Wonder if they tried to trade Haack ? How about Shaq Lawson as a trade candidate? OJ Howard? Edited August 22, 2022 by Georgie Quote
AuntieEm Posted August 22, 2022 Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) 23 minutes ago, Logic said: It would be cool to get a draft pick back for Cam Lewis or Nick McCloud, given that the Bills are reasonably unlikely to sneak both players through to the practice squad. I'd suggest trying to get a 7th out of the Giants for Lewis, but Schoen is probably smart enough to call that bluff and just let the Bills cut him. I think it would be highly unwise to trade away the third best edge rusher -- and likely the best right defensive end -- on the roster, just as he appears to be starting to live up to his draft potential. If Schoen wants to sign one of our cb cuts it's really smarter for Schoen to trade a low round pick to be sure to get that player. Waiting post cut the player is a fa can choose if they get multiple offers from nfl teams. No guarantee he signs with nyg. Edited August 22, 2022 by AuntieEm 1 1 Quote

stevewin Posted August 22, 2022 Posted August 22, 2022 I think Beane would trade Howard in a heartbeat if he found a partner 1 1 Quote
