But unless you're not a true blue Bills fan and just a fair weather fan, you won't stop following the team. I get fans wanting a Super Bowl so bad you can taste it. And yes, it's incredibly frustrating to come so close and not get there. But before Beane got here, we were in purgatory. Laughing stock of the league. It's important to keep that in perspective of where we are now. Maybe Hopkins will happen. Maybe he won't. But there's still a lot of time left in the Offseason. Who knows what this team will look like in the Season Opener. And if it weren't for a myriad of injuries and unfortunate situations derailing the team last season, who knows what we could have been if those things didn't happen. Who knows what we could be with the same team if those things don't happen this season. 👍🏻 18 minutes ago, ndirish1978 said: Happy to eat crow if I'm wrong, but I would be surprised if this gets done anytime soon, or even at all. It’ll happen. Maybe not to Buffalo, but someone will trade for him. Most likely KC

K D Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 Beane says he is happy with his receiving corps? And the replacement MLB is already on the team? Yikes, no wonder Vegas has us at 10.5 wins 1 1 1

Boatdrinks Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 47 minutes ago, HappyDays said: Discouraging, but is TG saying anything surprising here ? The asking price has to come down and / or a Bills player likely needs to be moved. Both would qualify as significant. Does he have any new info here , or just summarizing what we already know ?

A significant development would be Arizona drastically dropping their price. Short of that, it's never going to happen. Beane is never going to pay a price of 2-3 picks starting with a 2nd this year AND pay 34.5 in cap over two years for a 31 year old WR. I don't care how good they looked as of last season. I don't know that any team is paying that price. I don't believe Jerry Jeudy was ever available to be traded for even though fans clamor for it. Same goes for Mike Evans. https://bucswire.usatoday.com/2023/02/16/nfl-news-trade-rumors-mike-evans-tampa-bay-buccaneers-free-agency/ So as of right now, it's pretty much OBJ or a 1st Round Pick as far as a legit WR addition goes. Some of you are just going to have to learn how to deal with it. Edited March 28, 2023 by BillsFanForever19 1 1

K D Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 If the Bills really go into the season with these receivers then teams will double team Diggs and he will get frustrated and have a temper tantrum and demand a trade. This is not going to end well. If you want to keep Diggs then you need another receiver 2 1

Hopefully it OBJ doesn't get done, one of Quentin Johnson, Jordan Addison, or Jaxon Smith-Njigba falls to us. Edited March 28, 2023 by BillsFanForever19 1 1

Well, all the positive twitter posts regarding this trade were nothing more than rumors in the first place. So yeah, you can believe Graham’s rumor too. 1

KC isn't going to trade high draft picks and pick up that contract. I assure you, KC isn't his destination. The only vet WR KC is in on, is OBJ...and that's only if they can wait him out and get him cheap. 2

The price tag they're asking for says they're not really willing to trade him. If they were motivated to move him, they wouldn't set the price so high. No one is going to give up "Christian McCaffrey" trade compensation for a 31 year old WR on a massive two year cap hit. I don't care how good he's been. That's too much for a guy who could lose a step at any moment. Edited March 28, 2023 by BillsFanForever19 2 1

He wouldn't say it like that unless it was confirmed to him. Not a beat reporter from the Texans. Not some rando on Twitter. It's Tim Graham. If you don't know who Tim Graham is and why his word means more than ErieCountyBulls - I don't even know what to say. As for Beane, he didn't just say he looked into it and they can't talk about him because he's on another team. He made a point to say that Social Media blows things out of proportion. He didn't have to say that and probably wouldn't have if things were serious. That was specifically done to let fans know it wasn't as serious as everyone around here thinks or hopes. Combine all of this with their reported asking price that we were never and will never pay - it's time to face reality. We probably made a call last Wednesday when it was being reported they weren't going to get much and when we found out what the actual price was, that was that.
