The team would be highly foolish to trade any of their roster-locked CB/DE/WR depth like AJE, Dane Jackson, or one of the WRs. The guys who aren’t roster locks, being Shane Ray, Jordan Phillips, Cam Lewis, ext, don’t have much trade value. I’d rather the team try to hide some of them on the PS than trade them for a conditional 6th. 

 

By play last year (when healthy) and by depth chart, Jordan Phillips seems pretty much like a roster lock.

on 8/29, there will instantly be over 1000 FA's.  Won't be a lot of big trades now I bet.

 

Bean has historically been pretty good about trading players just before roster cutdowns.

 

The idea is if the player is traded, they gotta go there (or not play).  Once they hit FA, they can pick their spot.

I think they feel good about the LB room. I don't know what to make of it but I would be surprised at this point to see beane address it.

 

Might they feel less good about LB, if Bernard's hammy is gonna keep him out a bit?

There's 1 cutdown day--- after end of preseason.  Teams are going to be less eager to trade for a Boogie Basham, Epanesa or other fringe vets before they a few preseason games.  Teams can't tease their rosters via multiple cut down days as in the past.

I remember when we traded you guys that horrible center we signed from Cincy.  I don’t remember his name but he was bad.

Jethro Bodine, what a fleecing.

Truly i hate to get rid of players that could develop into really good players but that's what happens when you get to where the Bills are you can't keep them all & sometimes when you do like trading Wyatt Teller you make a huge mistake .

 

But who ever they do choose could turn into anther real good player for a team I just hope who they decide to keep will be on the better side of the decision for the Bills this time .

Basham or Epenesa. One of them should go. Might fetch a 5th. 

Then maybe Boettger for a 7th

 

Epenesa's clearly the more dependable player between he and Basham. He's also on the last year of his contract, so the return wouldn't be worth it. He's not going anywhere this season.

 

Basham could be a "change of scenery" type move that could be potentially interesting to another team and he has multiple years on his deal. He'll also be on the outside looking in when Von returns anyways, as we wouldn't keep 6 DE's. Between Von, Floyd, Rousseau, Epenesa, Lawson, and Basham - one's going to go and it's probably going to be him.

The more I think about it, It would be nice if maybe we could corner the market in the 6th round! If you got a guy you want in the 6th, you’ve got to come thru Buffalo! 

 

We tried something like that with guys named “Williams” and that was kinda fun.    😋

 

IIRC, The Ravens wheeled and dealt their way into four or five 6th rounders, last year. Do we want to shoot to be 2024's Ravens, LOL?

With the Bills having a deep roster, who do you think are potential trade candidates before final roster cuts? Curious to know who might be a trade option and who we might target in return. IMO, all eyes will be on the LB position in the first two preseason games. Does the current LB competition look solid or will it be obvious we have a big drop off/liability at the position outside of Milano. Do the Bills keep all their DE depth? Would you trade a CB? Any surprise trade candidates?


My opinion is the roster is too deep at certain positions to not expect a trade.

 

What says you BillsMafia?

Depends on who is available from the other side. If a WR or RT is available, I wouldnt mind trading a Epenesa, Phillips. If by some miracle a Jeudy type WR is available, make even Elam available. 

If its just to cash in on intense depth, then a good draft pick would be better

Ok commie


Yeah Senator McCarthy told me Ridge is code for Pinko Bastage.  You know it’s true if Senator McCarthy said it.  And you thought Oppenheimer was a pinko.  Frank Burns the Yankee Doodle Doctor said so.

Doyle, Quessenberry, Mancz, Basham, Settle, Phillips, Klein. Was thinking Benford, but I think they like him and might try him at safety. Would anyone give up a pick for Cam Lewis?

Hate to say it but Phillips might be almost done. I think there's a good chance he ends up on IR or gets cut.

It's definitely a risk, however sometimes you trade an Eli Harold and wind up with Ryan Bates. Or trade a Kelvin Sheppard and come away with a Jerry Hughes.
