Trades?

Maybe.  It depends on the following:

 

 - Are Milano & Jones definitely gone for this season?  If either can make it back for the playoffs, stand pat at their position.

 - How do the replacements do?  Williams might be alright.  I was excited when we signed Poona Ford.  Both will be a dropoff, but in a D like this, maybe not significant enough to warrant any other moves.

 

They could be ok with a less stellar defense but only if the offense plays the keep away game by eating chunks of game clock.  Then even a timely turnover by defense can make enough impact to get the bigger gap  in score letting our defenders tee off or play prevent as game is progressing can adjust to what's happening.

It’s too late man.

It's not too late the 49ers just traded for Gregory without the need .Traded for CmC without the need aswell ...The dolphins traded for Claypool without the need ...And we have needs and will likely do nothing

..that's how you build a winner...

Knox’s play after such a huge contract makes him a chess piece.

If you don't like his play and contract, what makes you think another team will be a willing buyer? Other GMs aren't suckers.

I suspect they will dumpster dive hard off other teams practice squads

Im not saying you are wrong … but Beane tells us repeatedly he isn’t going “all in”

Remind us all, how many SB wins has Beane gotten us?

He's not untouchable for sure

I'm not sure about that, I think a big part of his contract was Josh likes him. His production certainly didn't warrant the money he was given. Now they have the 2 TEs they always wanted and can't scheme any plays to the TEs.

This, id rather be the Rams who sold it all for a championship. They just blew they're money and now it's a moot point.

I'd also sign Jarvis Landry along with Anthony Barr.

Haven't paid attention to him in a while. Why is he still available? Age or injuries or both?

Make Christian Kirksey unretire

 

 

 

I was just thinking maybe if he were to come back seeing what the Bills have endured in this game it may make things a little better .

We need a CB, a LB and an OC. Getter done beaner boy

This. Wait and see. Wait until deadline. If we lose 3-4 more players then what is the point. See if there is a chance for Daquan to come back later. See how Bernard and Williams play. See if Elam can get back on track. Evaluate, find the biggest weakness and if a trade is there, do it. Even for a first. Just don't do it now.

Wait until some other team go to them with an offer and ***** him?

Actually I think the Finns do have a need. Not this year but when they are cap constrained and unable to resign Waddle who is an UFA after next year.

One of Beane's worst moves

[ngbills]

Look at DEN, CAR, LVR, AZ, NYG, CHI, MIN rosters...see anything you like? Then you make some calls.

Well, there’s this MLB in CHI that I keep hearing good things about, but he just seems too young.

His play before the contract was hardly better.  People came in their pants over 9 short tds.  

[davefan66]

I doubt a trade.  Will grab someone off another PS or someone cut earlier in the season.

 

Next man up.

His contract is though.

If we make a trade, I hope it’s for an offensive weapon
 

Tired of devoting so many resources to this defense

 

Another WR would be a force multiplier beyond anything another LB, DT, or even CB could be.  It would also mean another competitive AFC team did not get that guy.  

 

At some point, the mindset of balancing offense with defense has to be jettisoned.  They've got some pass rush and sure there could be improvements on the back end, but finding a true complement to Diggs makes this offense a force and should be prioritized.  It also means Gabe can play the WR3 role an gives Kincaid more time develop.  

[Donuts and Doritos]

Too many injury holes to fill with trades. Need the depth to step up. Might back fill the depth. But I think the message will be there's no cavalry coming so do your part. Only possible trade might be CB depth, given the lack of faith in Elam.

[Success]

Beane has been pretty clear - he wants a long-term contender.

 

We have good depth at LB and CB, and good players stepping in for the injured guys.  To actually get better players in those positions would require some real capital, and compromise longer-term team building.

 

I could see us raiding a practice squad or 2 for better depth in case some of the replacements get hurt - but that's it.

Half the Giants roster played here, so they know the Bills system. 😀
