Would you trade AJ Epenesa?

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.

It depends, is said CB starting material and in his 4th year and re-signable? Then maybe.

[BananaB]

It took them 4 years to turn him into a player, kind of waste to trade him now. Floyd and Von ain’t getting younger

Nope either sign him to a modest extension or let him leave in Free Agency and get that 4th round comp pick for him. Chances are your not going to get anything higher anyways and they could use him for the rest of the season

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

 

I can't see him getting traded.

 

Makes more sense to extend him,  Based on injures to other players including Jones who is at end of two year contract it would be better for EJ to sign extension now with guarantee of money; his agent can request performance bonuses in contract.

Very interesting question since he is a free agent after this season.  Can AJ play RDE?  Groot is entrenched at LDE and I expect that he will be signed to a long-term contract at some point.  If AJ can play RDE, it may depend on what the Bills think for the timeline for Miller with Buffalo.

Who is trading for a guy who has 11 games left on his contract and will spend most of that time getting up to speed on a new playbook for a new team? And if there was a team willing to do that, the return would be peanuts. 

 

So, like.... why?

yes!!!

 

let's trade a young guy just coming into bloom so we can feature Von Sorry Bro I'm Not Feelin It Miller and Shaq First Round Pick Right Off The Bus Lawson 2.0!!!

 

I love this......place

[Mikie2times]

He had a pick 6 in one game and Dominated a full game as much as any DE we have seen since probably Bruce.  On top of it we waited years for him to flash. We can’t trade him right now. He’s an impact player and you can’t have enough of those when you’re making a Super Bowl push.

We wait three years for the guy to live up to his draft position…, and the millisecond he does some want to move him on …

the only guy who really showed up D yesterday.  let's trade him because there's Miller (who is a million years old and has played 11 games for $35 million so far).

But we can get an early Day 3 pick ?

if we throw in Josh Allen!!!

[BBFL]

AJE might be the biggest surprise after Bernard. Dude is playing lights out in his rotational role. Definitely a plus you can’t get rid off unless the team nets something just as impactful on return. Can’t see where we need anyone other than DB with the corner injuries and ages of Hyde/Po. 

[Brandon]

I wouldn't.  He's playing too well in comparison to what he'd likely bring in a trade.  It could be that they lose him to free agency this offseason,  but they could probably afford to re-sign him if they really wanted to do it.

Good luck with that … 

 

Edmunds revisited … someone is paying him… 

 

I’m hoping they pay Rousseau the following year 

I mean, obviously if someone throws stupid ludicrous type cash at him that changes the equation. And if he keeps making splash plays someone will get hooked in, possibly.

 

There's a limit with a guy like him, much like there was a limit with Edmunds that you don't pay over.  As much as I like how well he's come on the last year and a half or so, he's still an incomplete player when it comes to the run game. His pay has to reflect that.

[LABILLBACKER]

If you had asked me a year ago, I'd say yes. But AJE has risen as a viable disruptor. And considering all the players going down, there's no way I trade AJ.  Keeping him over Boogie was the right move.

[Boatdrinks]

Maybe if it brought a quality CB or WR2… player for player trades are rare at the deadline though. Usually all about the draft picks. Could be a deal of AJ for a pick , then trade that pick plus others for a WR2 or CB. See what the big picture is closer to the deadline.

All the “no’s” understand he’s on the last year here right? He’ll be a UFA and the way he’s playin - demand a ton of money. Money we don’t have (at least I don’t think we do). 

And if he helps us get a sb win I'll be happy he gets paid somewhere.  Get the comp pick restock...

[Mojo44]

AJE needs to play this way for several more games before a trade scenario becomes viable.

[nucci]

Let's trade our players that have been playing well because there won't be any more injuries.
