When he gets traded to the Jets or Chiefs is this forum going to burn to the ground?

Couldn't Arizona sign Ed to a long term contract if they acquired him? 

 

Yeah but why?   He hasn't elevated his game much in 4 years.   He has a history of nagging injuries.   He's small so he's not like Marcel Dareus where you can just switch him to 1 tech if he gets complacent with a big contract and still get something out of him.   Oliver just doesn't have a lot of value as a rental for a team that's not trying to win a SB now........especially with a $10M cap hit.

I feel like Oliver being moved would be more to a team that was high on him during the draft process that thinks he could hit in his contract year.  We recoup a mid-round pick to offset a pick sent out for Hopkins. 

I actually know of such a team. The Buffalo Bills.

 

It's not crazy to think that Ed steps up in a contract year. Players have done this forever. Ed does seem like the kind of guy that will show out for a big payday. So if you are Brandon Beane...why would you deal him away in a contract year after investing a high pick and 4 years into his development? If he does step up with a great season it would be in our best interest that he does so wearing our laundry and not another teams. If he prices himself out of Buffalo (which may happen with a good year) we still may see that same 3rd or 4th round pick as a comp pick that people here are convinced he could fetch on the open trade market this season. And frankly speaking I would rather get that pick in next years draft class over this years anyway. The only investment is the cap space this year but even with that trading him won't come without the cost of replacing him...which may eat up half of that amount right off the bat. And going cheaper with the draft just means you're losing more draft capitol to fill a hole you created yourself. 

 

I would say it's much more likely to see an Oliver extension than trade.

Everyone's fav.. ECB.. tweeting that the Bills have discussed 27 for 34 and Hopkins.   Then goes on to say about 10 teams are sending in trade offers to AZ.

This guy may just be a master troll, but for those who follow his words here you go.

If we can find room for his contract, I'm very good with that as trading down requires a partner and we may not find one to do so.

Seems likely we MAY be in on him, and I’m all about it. But this guy is definitely a troll looking for attention.

he called the Edwards signing

he also said we’d be signing an LB very soon and Klein was signed the next day.

 

Sal C follows him now. 

 

He could just be lucky of course. 

but, he hasn’t been proven wrong yet

I would love this 

 

 


Only thing I would love more than this is going from 27 <-> 34, and 91 <->105 (for them taking on some of his contract). If they need next years 6th as well I’d throw it in for sure.

It makes sense... Bills don't want to give up one of their six picks.  They stay at six picks by a pick swap.  

 

Arizona, wanting a 2nd, compromises on a trade up equivalent to a 3rd, which nets them another 1st round pick.   

 

Makes a lot of sense for us and optics-wise.. a lot of sense for Arizona.   Also gives Arizona the 5th year option on a guy they value in a rebuild.

I’d be perfectly fine tossing in a 2024 Conditional pick as well
