WGR speculating the Bills will make a trade

are we buyers or are we sellers?

 

I mean, we will probably do both.  But which one is big enuf 'news' to get on the radio about.

 

Since its breathlessly reported / rumored, i'd assume its a name we all know.   Not like trading somebody we were gonna cut, or trading for somebody at the bottom of another team's depth chart (with the exception of QB).

 

So its probably Boogie or AJE.  They decided they are keeping one, and the other has value.  Do it before the trade partner has time to be surprised that 'whats available tomorrow (after cuts) in the dumpster is better than he expected.

Why not Lawson or Elam?

so, since i cant find a backup QB to win 2 or 3 games . . . i should sign and pay, and trade for, a star RB.    To help my backup QB win 2 or 3 games, if needed.

 

Meantime, the other 14 games, its overkill.   I agree with the sentiment that we shouldnt take the ball out of Josh's hands.

 

its like signing a basketball guard to play with michael jordan.  We pass you the ball so you can pass it back to Jordan.  When you start shooting too much and hogging possessions, we trade you.   We didnt bring you here to take the ball out of Jordan's hands

All this talk of (Jonathan) Taylor made me notice that it's been a few weeks since someone here called for bringing back (Tyrod) Taylor. Wassup you guys?

Elam won't be traded. They aren't giving up on a 1st Round Pick after one season.

 

Shaq Lawson on a 1 year deal isn't getting us anything. He signed for league minimum just before the Draft after weeks on the market. He has no value.

Sorry for slacking!  Ty-Rud needs to return.   We need more QBs who can get 2 yards in 3rd and long consistently!   Consistency is the key to success and boy will his stats Look great.  We can then trade him for a conditional 7th in 2025.

If there's one thing I know about Brandon Beane: expect the unexpected

 As well as coaching upheavals when your team is pretty well set is not a guarantee things get better.  

 

A successful team will almost always lose some of their staff to promotions elsewhere, though promotions only account for half of the cases with the Bills. I have been concerned that they’ve only promoted from within and haven’t seemed to draw much talent in from the outside. All three coordinators (Daboll, Frazier and and Farwell) plus assistant GM Schein are all gone for one reason or another. Every position was filled from within. The only name of note brought in is Al Holcomb as an assistant on the defense.

 

This isn’t a black and white situation. Sometimes promoting from within is the right move. And McDermott taking over as DC could certainly be the right move. It’s not like he isn’t very experienced. But it isn’t like we heard anything about anyone clamoring for the positions either. I’m not even sure the Bills looked. It might be nothing but something just feels odd about it to me.

but that said, we could do worse.  And currently probably are.

Agreed.  Like Lamont Cranston, Beane has learned the power to hypnotically cloud the minds of those around him.  If you don't believe me, just flip through this forum from month to month. 😉

You mean expect everyone to get extended?

I agree the Bills fringe players, or “depth,” are not desirable around the league. And even Elam can only go to a select few teams. It worries me Beane will throw a high pick at another veteran quick fix out of desperation.

 

No it doesn't dolphins fan

I don’t think Sal is connected like that, at least he always says he’s not .. but he name dropped Elam quite a bit as a trade candidate a few minutes ago on WGR.

I’m not into all the gossip but looking at it strictly from a football perspective it’d seem like Elam would be the one to move. He was a first round talent that reportedly just doesn’t fit with what the Bills are trying to do defensively. I’ve got to believe there are other teams that are in a similar predicament with a position player that would fill a hole in the Bills roster.

His horse likes it.

A player for player trade with Elam would be good. Trading him for a mid to late pick does nothing for me. The goal needs to be to win this season. 

 

I'd guess any trade comes from the defensive line and brings back like a 5th round pick

Washington and Arizona are in throwaway seasons. Look at who their best players are for a possible salary dump.
