do those teams both have a 1st round draft pick from a previous trade with another team or something?

 

I believe he's referencing the fact that Miami lost their 1st rounder.  So only 31 picks in the 1st round.

Chargers?? He is Austin Ekeler

The chargers need anything and everything. If they could get CMC it would be significant. 

 

Edit: I know it's not realistic. He'd be playing a lot of WR. But still, thatd be a stacked offense

I don't think Beane plays around like that. I F he offered, then I would think he offered what he thinks it was worth to the Bills. Take it or leave it kind of thing. Don't think he will and honestly hope he doesn't. 

Stay tuned..

If reports are true that Carolina turned down Motor and our 2nd then I tap out.

Didn't hear this before. Is there confirmation of this?

I’d like to know where this rumor came from, too.

I will. Just think if Beane wanted to spend a 1st on a RB he would have done it during one of the last 2 drafts.

CMC is NOT worth our 1st.  Especially if he turns into a 1/2 season rental, which is a very good possibility given what he's due to make next year.

No.  No one is going to confirm anything about mid season trade talks. A lot of BS is going to be floating around too. That’s why I started my comment with “if reports are true”.

I’d trade the first if it means a SB ring. Too bad CMC is always injured. 

[Rock-A-Bye Beasley]

The fans here who don’t want him regardless of compensation are absolutely insane. They’re not even worth arguing with. 
 

When you draft any player the best you can realistically hope for is always top 5 or top 10 at their position. CMC is already that and it’s a guarantee in a critical year. You don’t have to wait for him to develop and you don’t have to hope he does develop(Cook). We are still waiting on the players we drafted recently, as far back as 3 years ago (Epenesa), to fully develop. If you want to say giving up a draft pick for CMC is “mortgaging our future” you’re wrong for a couple reasons. 
 

(1) This team doesn’t have a ton of needs or roster spots. They are already losing day 3 players to waivers or PS poaching and have 8 picks in the next draft. It’s a certainty if they make all of those picks that some of them will be poached (or more past day 3 players). Even the 1-3 round picks will have a hard time being an upgrade to what they have. Also, the biggest areas of need are positions you generally don’t need to draft high IOL, S

 

(2) Cap space. Some here are arguing his cap hit after this season is too high, while others don’t want to give up a draft pick for a “rental”. Both stances are foolish. As stated repeatedly in this thread CMC would have 3 non-guaranteed years of almost exactly $12mil/yr after this one. It’s the best possible situation for Buffalo. The chances of restructuring and lowering the cap hit are very high. Otherwise, cut bait for no penalty.

 

But wait! There’s a third option where CMC is traded from Buffalo after the season to recoup at least some of the precious draft capital lost in the first place, again at no penalty.

I agree. Personally, I don't think he's worth a 3rd and Moss. We just drafted Cook and haven't even really given the kid a chance. Also for the amount of running we do Motor, Moss and Cook should be just fine IMO.

[Johnny Hammersticks]

I guess he isn’t big on winning rings.  I would assume his agent is asking for an extension as a condition of any trade.

Word. I don’t believe he made that offer

Even if he wasn't injured a lot, still not worth it.

 

Bringing him here doesn't guarantee we win anything.  And if you fall short, you're now left with nothing if he's just a 1/2 season rental (unless we plan on paying his $12M/year salary next year) and we'd be out a 1st round pick for our troubles.

Mindless social media “content” that fluff fans lap up like spilt milk. They’ll be back to the Beckham “recruitment” next week.

first of all, loosen up and take more risk.
 

Second, you imply we can’t afford him after this but are conveniently leaving out the possibility of a restructure and/or a trade after this season to recoup draft capital.

it’s very unlikely he’s a pure rental

I don't think people fully understand how much of a weapon this guy would be with this offense, and this QB

 

If Moss and a 3rd this year plus maybe a pick in 2024 gets it done, you do it.

 

 

Everyone has to take away the downfield stuff against Allen the best they can, there's a lot of room for the back to operate underneath in the passing game but Singletary is too slow to really exploit it and they don't seem comfortable with Cook yet. McCaffrey would thrive with all that space to work with.

If ANY team is willing to give up their 1st round pick for this guy I will be very surprised.

i say ***** it. beane and the bills can work cap magic.

 

dont give up a first though.

I honestly don’t care if we do a first. I just want a super bowl. If we win a super bowl, it will be worth whatever we give up. Especially if we don’t get CMC and a team like KC does. I’m not sure we can beat KC if they get CMC.

What if KC does and they win a super bowl? What will people say on here then?

Some of the people in this thread are on something

 

"The Bills are currently interested in signing a clone of Bruce Smith in his prime. The Bruce Smith clone has no interest in rejoining the Bills"

 

Lunatics on twobillsdrive: "Thank God"

 

😂

Did you just compare CMC to Bruce Smith? 🤣

 

Someone's definitely on something, but it ain't those of who think the asking price is too high if they already turned down our offer.
