Just see the asking price too high for him.  Would be a nice add though.

Greg Flounder also "reports" that the Chiefs traded for Burns and the Packers traded for Cooks.

As I said, I would view Hines as a marginal upgrade over what we already have. He can’t possibly cost much so I wouldn’t freak out if they acquired him and I’ll cheer for him. I don’t view him as much better than Duke though. 👍 I do appreciate the healthy back and forth on it, gives me hope for this message board. 

The BIlls see Duke Johnson in practice every day and haven't seen fit to elevate him to the active roster. I think that's telling.

Yeah I'm going nuts waiting for something and that damn Montgomery tweet had me fooled..  Hines would be real nice but not my first choice for an upgrade.

I doubt it would have anything to do with asking price and more just the Raiders not moving him.

 

RBs have very little value as is, especially a rental.

Telling of what though? We don’t know if they’re actually chasing Hines. 
And Duke definitely isn’t in comparison with CMC or Kamara.

Bears traded for Chase Claypool

The Hockenson trade seems nuts to me.  Wtf are they thinking?

Good on the Bears finally getting Fields a weapon.

but we are the hunted right now.

 

No, the Bills are the "bwana" and other teams are upgrading to evade the hunt.

The Bills salary cap situation is keeping us from making a lot of these deals. Not only are we tight this year, but we are even tighter next year. We are as of now -7.55 million against the 2023 salary cap and only 38 players counting towards that. That number will change but it still will have to be dealt with.

So as much as everyone fantasizes about trades at the deadline and I know some people believe the salary cap is "Just a Number" It still has to be dealt with and we do not have much wiggle room.

I can’t stand ant.  Wish they’d trade him to one of the terrible bills YT channels

Did Beane call in today?

The asking prices for CMC and Kamara were both apparently too high for us though.

Brandin Cooks not at practice today for Texans...trade incoming.

I think it’s only telling that they don’t want to cut moss.  There’s no roster spot for him

Kamara was never getting traded, and CMC never even went for a first.

Just not true.  Next years cap will be at MINIMUM 240 million and more likely around 250 million due to Amazon TV contract kicking in. Cap concerns next year will NOT be a reason they do nothing, especially with even bigger increases coming the next 3 or 4 years after that from the other TV contracts kicking in.

Green Bay is my guess, but the Vikings and Bears trading for weapons today wasn’t exactly on my bingo card.

It's gotta be the Packers. They have the cap space and a need at WR.

He was full practice yesterday, so probably correct.
