Trade Deadline (Nov 1) Bills Rumors / Speculation

People act like first round picks are always for Josh Allen and never for Aaron Maybin.  If Barkley could be obtained, along with a contract extension, for a first it would be an easy decision. 

 

It would be an easy NO for me. I don’t want a super expensive RB, especially a guy who is always hurt. We need 1st round picks for cheaper talent, guys like Rousseau who will produce and bring our cap cost down for 5 years. No interest in an expensive addition who likely (according to history) will spend lots of time on IR and visiting the trainers.

There's no point trading a 1st for a RB is our O Line isn't going to give him space to run into. Singletary and, especially, Moss do a fine job running into opposition players as it is.

Correction, pick 31. Dolphins forfeit their 1st rder. 😎

If I’m trading I’m looking for a top quality guard to best assist the running game

Marck...thank you for being the voice of reason.

Well it looks like Joe needs more hits on his site to get a pay hike

Nobody hates the hypothetical trade threads more than I do. It’s usually virtually a 0% chance of happening, and it’s for a splashy name people have heard of. 

 

IF I were to trade our 1st round pick, it might be for several picks in rounds 2-4 where we can use them to beef up the OLine. THAT would pay some dividends, I believe. 

[Simon Says]

How will Bills pay for these imaginary trades? They have about 1.6 million in cap space.  If they acquired a player in a trade they would have to pay about 10 weeks of his salary.

Who the hell could they realistically acquire that would be an upgrade AND affordable?

I'm not giving a first for "an" RB

I agree our most pressing need is a quality guard.  Bills need a short yardage back too.   Beane has constructed this roster so masterfully, thats the only two areas we could have big improvement IMO.  Saquan and/or ODB are buttercream frosting on cake.  D gets all the big signings and high draft pick.  Josh has been a good boy.  Lets get him some toys!

salary cap is an temporary illusion, easily manipulated 

[BillsFanForever19]

No way he's moving a 1st for a veteran RB with worn tires on a high priced contract. He won't even use a 1st on a young one with a cost controlled deal.

 

Could I see him making a deal for Barkley? Sure. But in no way does it involve a 1st.

I'll sacrifice pick 31 for Bijan Robinson!! I'm tired of missing out on Jonathan Taylor, Breece Hall all because of a draftnik code.

Someone tweeted at Joe Buscaglia claiming to have a source in the building at OBD that we are going to be making a blockbuster trade sending our 1st for an RB

 

IF that were true, what do you guys think?

 

1st, Moss for Saquon Barkley, 4th

1st, Moss for Christian McCaffrey

 

my darkhorse would be Dalvin Cook

 

does anyone know if $ can be retained on a deal? Or how does that work

Sounds like total BS to me.  

[Low Positive]

We could have focused on OL and a running game like the colts and paid a OG 24 million per year. Then we too could win games 12-9!

I think they are hoping that if they turn over enough stones………your wallet will eventually turn up. Don’t be an ingrate!

The only thing any team should trade a first for is a QB or a pass rusher. Full stop.

 

I generally agree, although I feel the Stefon Diggs trade worked out pretty dang well.

[The Wiz]

sending a 1st round pick for a RB....  We're getting Blackshear back!!!!  WOOHOO!!!

If McCafrey is available for a good price then do it.

Agreed.  If we part with a 1st, we better get a top notch WR or an almost all pro IOL/RT.
 

Saquon looks better than ever.  But our OL still can’t run block.  It’s not our RB’s fault our run game blows
