What?  I didn't say or imply anything that would remotely suggest that.

 

Does make you wonder the wording and reporting of the tweets that said the Bills denied it.  The FO generally says they talk with a lot of teams on a regular basis to improve the squad.

Agreed, the Bills went way out of their way to tell Dan Fetes they did "NOT" reach out to the panthers.  Then Tom P specifically mentions Bills.

I'd say Bills don't want other contenders to know of their interest

I think that they would spread the rumor that we didn't call about him. It's in their interest.

So they spread a rumor to deflect from a fact or a rumor.

 

This thread definitely needs and will get more of this logic. 🙄

Why would a FO deny this if it is not their typical MO?

We are approaching our biggest game of the year.  Adding doubt and questions to your RB room is not a good thing going into this game.  I think we will have to wait it out to see...

This.  I expect a trade during the bye

Sorry, I quoted the wrong thread.

Toss Brian Burns in there and then we'll do it.  (which won't happen)  Moving Edmunds is not a win now move 

[2003Contenders]

Yes, the denials remind me of the Antonio Brown trade talks prior to the 2020 season. While that trade never materialized (thankfully), Beane and the Steelers definitely had spoken and reportedly even had agreed upon trade terms.

No our running game isn’t great.  But why would Barkley, Henry and CMC average 3 ypc behind our line when Singletary averages more?

 

Because facts don't matter to people who just live in the world of over exaggerating everything to further their view.

A rebuilding team wants draft picks, not mediocre LBs looking for a new contract

FWIW,  I did see someone on Twitter claim their buddy who works for the Bills and previously worked for the Panthers is saying it will happen 

The person is a Raiders fan so has no agenda.
 

They were challenged and verified with picture of a Bills official sideline shirt (person's name was covered) and a Carolina Panthers ball signed by many players on top of the Bills shirt.

 

 

Even if he worked those jobs how could he possibly know this

Why the heck would the Hawks trade for  him. I mean don’t get me wrong it’d be hilarious, but it makes zero sense.

And elite MLB that can play all 3 downs who’s 24 for an elite RB talent who has a massive injury history and probably shouldn’t be getting more than 20 touches a game at this point in his career?

No, a lot of the early exchanges happen through intermediaries.  They probably didn’t contact the panthers. Doesn’t mean some agents haven’t talked with each other 

[JakeFrommStateFarm]

Bills fans don't want this guy.

 

He's on the injury report every week, missing practice and questionable.  His latest is he has a knee issue.

 

I know because he's on my fantasy team.

 

Bills fans would lose their minds every week.

Imo we have two stars on offense. If we drop to 1, we are not gonna like the result

all of a sudden Josh really starts trying to make magic and it’s a long season for him to try to stay healthy . One more weapon would definitely be nice.

20 touches a game is 340 touches. That’s a heavy workload.

Ooo so cute. Legit Offensive Guards. Is that really that hard to figure out? 

Panthers said NOPE. 

Sarcasm...

 

Edit. Fwiw, I'm on team trade for an OG. When Hyde went down I had safety as a target l, but Johnson and damar will work just fine.

 

I still do want to be better at the RB position, but Cook and Devin may be ok with better OG play...

We could have McCaffrey, Derrick Henry and Saquon Barkley and none of them would average more than 3yrds/carry with our run blocking.  

 

This is such a stupid trade if they were to make it.   Give me an offensive guard that can create running lanes and get some push downfield.

 

If that is the case - does that mean Singletary, Moss, and Cook are that much better than the guys you are mentioning?

 

Singletary - 4.3 YPC

Moss - 5.4 YPC

Cook - 5.2 YPC

 

The team average is 5.1 YPC.

 

Are you saying that McCaffrey, Barkley, or Henry would be so bad that they could not match a guy like Singletary behind this line because that makes no sense.  All 3 are better players - so I would think that they could at least hit the same holes the other 3 hit and make similar yards per carry.

 

I would also hope that a run like Moss had against Pittsburgh - maybe those 3 turn that from a 6 yard run off the goal line into a 30 or 40 yard run with some vision and balance.

I referenced that play as well. It was something right out of Looney Tunes and really sealed his fate for me. Bad showing.

You nailed it without realizing it. They are approaching the biggest game of the year.

 

Why create such a distraction before the Chiefs game? Why create an even bigger media circus before the Chiefs?

Moss needs to go to some other team and not be a third round pick, go in with no expectations and be the underdog again and find his confidence. He's so desperate to make plays that when he got in the open field it just made him antsy. He's pressing. Needs a change of scenery.
