Got picked before Oliver ( pick 9) …who would you rather have had?

 

 

During the draft when the Raiders passed on him I posted they should trade up to get Allen or Hockenson. I would still take either player over Oliver, even though Oliver has been ok and steadily getting better.

Now that I think about it this thread missed a huge oppourtunity to be named "Josh Allen Getting Trade Interest."

[Aurelius]

If the Bills can figure a way to get this done, they should highly consider.  Young, healthy edge rusher/olb.  We’d have to give up something, but he’s the goods and I feel like we are going to have to make a tough choice on a contract or so regardless (Epanesa, Boogey, Oliver).  Would make our pass rush unstoppable, which is key in this day and age and the hardest and one of the most expensive positions to fill effectively.

Saw a blurb saying the Chiefs are in on him...

If that Jags are interested in moving a key piece like this I just hope it's not to a team like the Chiefs because that's definitely the type of move that could shift the balance of power in the AFC again.

I was so confused at first. I thought at first that the Jaguars want our Josh Allen and was upset.. I looked deeper, and wow I didn't know the Jaguars has a guy named Josh Allen on their team!!!!!!! Can we have him? 2 Josh Allen's in the Buffalo Bills team! Hahahaha.

You didn’t know the other Josh Allen?

Why would Jacksonville even consider trading this Josh Allen? He’s a stud a building block of any defense.

This Josh Allen is also a stud. Would be a good fit in our defense but I think he will be expensive. 

A 2023 1st from Buffalo for a top 10 draft choice in the 2019 draft? Sign me up.

 

Rousseau and Josh Allen is a premier edge rush for the next 6-7 years.

 

We’ll be picking at the bottom of the first anyways.

I see what you are doing here, not mentioning Von so he will play pi**ed off.

Von is here for the next 3 years at the most. Josh Allen and Rousseau would be the future.

Only downside is we are going to have to pay 💰 for new contract.

In 3 or 4 years from now when Von is maybe ready to retire, maybe that’s when you go make a trade like this. Not now, I’m my opinion.

Understandable. 
 

I can’t say I disagree.

One of the best problems to have is having great players that everyone wants. (Like coaches.) You can’t have them all, but it says you are drafting well, and you get the first shot at them.

Most of the Chiefs fans on CP covet Jerry Hughes. They want him badly.

I was allowed ONE Josh Allen hall pass from my wife. 
 

Let’s not complicate things. 

Why does she have to know there are two Josh Allens?

I would easily give up a 1st for Jags Josh Allen, even as just a two year "rental" it would put the Bills as one of the best D-lines in the NFL in 2023 and cement the Bills 2022 D-line as being the best by an even wider margin. That being said Jags Josh is a 7.23 million dollar cap hit. I know there is ways to massage the cap but the Bills currently sit at 1.6 million in cap space. Jags Josh even if the salary is prorated to slightly less than half sits at about 3 million. KC isn't much better as they sit at 2.3 million in cap space so a trade for Jags Josh isn't much easier for them to pull off. 

 

I just don't see it happening given the Bills have other more pressing areas of need on the roster (guard) that they will be more active in and the cap math doesn't work out.

The Chiefs are similar to the Bills in that they don't have much cap space. KC's cap space is 2.9 million The Bills is 1.6 million. Jags Josh has a cap hit of 7.32 million. I can't see either team being able to massage the cap enough to pull it off. If I was KC I would offer a 1st in 2023 and a 2nd in 2024 but I just don't see the cap working out esp after the Chiefs sunk in 750k on Toney. Unless a resident TBD cap expert can comment as to how the Bills or Chiefs can massage the cap to make it happen?

Hughes has cooled off since registering 4 sacks in 3 games. In the Texans past 4 games Hughes has zero sacks. Not saying Hughes wouldn't make a nice rotational player for any playoff team but he isn't a major difference maker either.

They could restructure someone on the team, have the Jags pay some salary this year and/or release someone to make it work.
