DrDawkinstein Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 3 minutes ago, TheFunPolice said: If you make that 2nd round pick next spring you almost certainly don't have a player of that quality on your roster in 2024. This way you get him for 2023 and all the dead cap stays behind, so you can trade or cut him without penalty at all. This is my thinking as well. What 2nd round rookie DL is playing as well as Williams? I get you need to ink him to at least a 3 yr deal, which will be expensive. But it's not like we have many other DTs. Quote

Turns out Beane was trying for a package deal with Williams and Adoree Jackson - so he scared the Giants off I bet. I'm sure Elam was being thrown in. Sean McDermott and beane don't leak much out as in signing players. Twitter could possibly be wrong place for stuff. It's pretty much wait and see. 3 Quote

Seattle is giving up a lot for a rental Who knows. But I think I'd rather keep that 2nd rounder as well. Especially with Buffalo possibly being in on a DT that wouldn't cost picks. 3 Quote
Rc2catch Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 2nd rounder and more for a half year rental is pretty steep. If Seattle ends up signing him for longer maybe not as rough. I’d say the giants got max value for sure Quote

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 Having 2 thirds gives us a shot at trades, but i'm reluctant to part with a 2nd when we are likely to have holes at S (Poyer final year, Hyde UFA), WR (Davis UFA), DE (floyd/AJE UFAs), potentially CB (White coming off another major injury), DT (DQ UFA). Too many needs moving forward just to tread water let alone improve without a lot of picks. 1 2 Quote
Doc Brown Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 Not worth it for a one year rental given D. Jones should be back for the playoffs. Just need to get there. 1 Quote

This pisses me off! THIS WAS OUR GUY!! I posted this elsewhere this morning. Schoen asked for a 12pk of toilet paper to sweeten the deal and Beane replied "Sorry, I don't have a square to spare ". 1 1 Quote
Low Positive Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 If the offers were similar, they might have given Williams the choice of where to go. He is a West Coast guy, so maybe he prefers Seattle. 1 Quote

This pisses me off! THIS WAS OUR GUY!! I posted this elsewhere this morning. Don't get me wrong... Williams is a good player who will help almost any team. But he's a 3/5 tech... And a perfect fit for Seattle who run odd man fronts. The Bills REALLY need a 1/0 tech IMHO... Behind Poona we have nothing there. And yes I realize we have Settle...like I said we have nothing there behind Poona... 2 1 Quote

Didn't they give up ransom to the Jets for Jamal Adams a few years back. One bad trade you reference. Now lets examine the BIG deals. What did they get for Russel Wilson? What did they give up for Geno Smith? 1 Quote
BillsFanForever19 Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, TheFunPolice said: Sending a low 2nd for a proven player on the DL doesn't seem so crazy. It's putting a quality DL on the credit card. The 2025 5th is a total "whatever" pick at this point. They have 2 years to trade a backup guard and get that back. That guy's football life just became a lot more fun given Seattle's record. It's pretty high for a guy on the last year of his deal. I'm not giving up a 2nd+ for someone who's only under contract for 10 games and the playoffs (if they make it). Makes me wonder if it was something we were in on and the Seahawks had to outbid to get him. If not us, probably someone because again, that's a lot for less than a year of a player.
