Would you trade AJ Epenesa?

[Buffalo_Stampede]

Once Von is full go we’ll have Rousseau, Miller, Floyd, Lawson, and Jonathan. Jonathan has shown promise.

 

Epenesa’s value won’t be any higher. He’s playing good football. The other option is extending him to pair with Rousseau in the future.

 

With the injuries Epenesa could bring back a solid player to help at CB or LB.

He finally looked good.  I’m not sure Von will be back, ACLs are tough. 

[Success]

He has been incredible - one of the more disruptive players we have out there.  

 

I can't see him getting traded.

So sign? Final year of his contract. He’s a free agent in a few months.

WHAT?

 

He's like the only healthy defender we have left.

[sven233]

Because we're never a team that needs depth since our starters stay healthy all the time.......sure, why not?

I'd love to see him here long term if they can make it happen.

We have depth. Jonathan looks good. We have 5 quality edge players not including Epenesa.

 

If Denver wanted Epenesa and a pick for Surtain you wouldn’t do it?

After his best game as a Bills lineman, you can’t. This could be a huge stopgap solution to Miller’s ramp up and an upgrade in depth. With Milano and Jones down, we need AJ in the worst way.

[phypon]

I'd prefer keeping the PBM (Pass Bat Monster)

[strive_for_five_guy]

I think it’s a fair question.  That’s one position they haven’t necessarily been snakebit completely.  And if they aren’t going to have the money to resign him, go for it.

[Coach Tuesday]

Sure.

[JerseyBills]

Dependent on the compensation 

 

Definitely would be fielding calls

[Alphadawg7]

The only way they trade AJE is if they already decided he isn't a long term plans kind of player.

 

And I doubt they have made that decision after he is having a breakout through these injury opportunities.  Him and Groot could anchor our Edge rush a long time if he keeps playing at this level and shows its not just some little short lived hot streak.  

[WMDman]

Nahhh

[Norcalbillsfan]

Only way I'd trade epenesa is if the bills FO is truly still all in on a SB this year. You can package him with a pick and get a premium WR2 then maybe. Other wise bills will need his depth and impact plays this year.

[Aussie Joe]

OMG.. this place is turning wacky 

[Draconator]

Why? Why post this?

[SoonerBillsFan]

No. get Elam off the roster for a box of tape and a 5th next year for all I care.  We are going to need him next year when we have to clear a ton of cap space/ have cuts.  He and Groot need to be the starting DE's going forward.  I don't even know if Von can come back at this point, but with his contract, we might have to keep him. With Von's age and injury history, he will be a situational pass rusher, not an every-down DE so AJ has to stay

[SectionC3]

Honestly I just had the same thought.   Depends on the return and the purpose.  If it’s to accumulate meaningful draft capital to buy a corner or a WR, and if Floyd, Miller, Rousseau, and Jonathan are all healthy … count me in. Sell a strength to address what could be a significant weakness.

Because it’s smart.

Do they have the money for him next year? Or is that Rosseau bucks?  If it’s going to Groot, trying to flip him for CB/WR/stud off ball LB is not a crazy idea.
