But in the real world i can't see making a commitment to 2 oft-injured RB's in a blockbuster trade, mortgaging high draft picks on them before the trade deadline. I just dont think its the answer here. We havent even made a commitment to run with the rb's we have now when its been successful. I'd rather spend the draft capital on shoring up our oline & drafting a rb on a cost controlled deal who can be the guy going forward. I don’t disagree, but CMC or Saquon simply being on the field could help our passing game. Especially the deep throws. Defenses are not concerned about Devin Singletary enough to drop a safety into the box Edited October 9, 2022 by Warriorspikes51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerDave Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 The Rams traded two 2nd round picks for the rental of Von Miller. That worked out pretty well for them. I don't know if I'd do it for a RB with our O-line though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or how does that work I have a source as well who says this is not true. We'll see who's right. 😆 2 minutes ago, RangerDave said: The Rams traded two 2nd round picks for the rental of Von Miller.

Would you trade two thirds and a second? Because that's what he's spent with picks for nothing (too early for Cook but early returns are non existent.) 2 hours ago, FrenchConnection said: The only thing any team should trade a first for is a QB or a pass rusher.

Warriorspikes51 Posted October 9, 2022 Author Share Posted October 9, 2022 I hope Beane can find a creative way to add CMC or Saquon and OBJ. Surround Allen with as many weapons as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshAllin Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Just what we need to get back to our old winning formula of run, run, pass from the 2000's or we could just use em as really expensive decoys in the backfield.

Since1981 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 OBJ would help our run game too and no draft pick. The defense would have to deal with way too much. LB, CB, safeties would be stressed, unable to support run D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One one thing I have learned is to NEVER count out Beane's ability to be creative with the cap to get the players here he wants and to retain the players here he wants to keep. He has proven to me that he without question is amongst the best in the business in working contracts to work with our cap. Something people are also over looking...the possibility and probability that Carolina will likely have to pay part of CMC's salary to trade him. They won't save a ton off their cap, but will get his numbers off the books in future seasons. And why would Car do that? Because they are desperate for draft picks. They only have 4 draft picks in 2023, including no 3rd and 5 picks in 2024 including no 4th. They are staring down a major rebuild essentially without the ammo to do it. So the higher value of CMC to Carolina right now is not on the field where its not helping them win games...but in moving him for pick(s) to help with the rebuild. So for me...anyone looking at the "cap" as the road block to a CMC trade doesn't really understand his cap hit and the options that are possible. But more importantly, they are grossly overlooking Beane's abiltiy to figure that out when its for someone he wants on this football team. None of this means we are trading for Beane, just means the "cap" panic around here is being over stated and not as unsurmountable as many think it is. yes absolutely. The cap is largely BS, especially for good teams with players that want to stick around. The salary cap is just “accounting” as some insider put it before this season started. 💯 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wppete Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I fell like Beane will pull a trade or two but don’t see him trading any 1-3 round picks. Not a wise move with all the big salaries we are paying now. McCafrey or Saquan for a 4th and a player is what I’m thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 If the Bills trade a 1st for a RB it means they won’t waste it on 1st round RB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
