Epic, Hypothetical Trade Scenario: Would ya?

I’d probably need 5 firsts including the first overall pick with a “can’t miss QB” prospect in the draft. I’m not talking Trevor Lawrence. I’m talking Andrew Luck / Peyton Manning level prospect.

yea, that basically buys you two swings at the position with hopes you can come close to an elite option. I’d probably be ok with the Lawrence tier if arms were twisted but a great qb is such a talent multiplier for the other 52

I voted yes. Since it’s been said we aren’t winning anyways. I’m rebuilding for the post McAllen era. 

 

1. Allen will be 28 this year. Window to win with him is wide open. Beane will have to rebuild/retool the roster around him. This draft is very important.

2. Kelly retired in 96 and look how long it took the Bills to find their next franchise QB in Allen. No way I am trading one of the best QB's in the game who is still in his prime.

Yikes.  There would have to be a Pro-Bowl vet QB thrown in, like Hibbert, Stroud, or Mahomes, plus a bunch of 1st round picks.  Swinging at a rookie is just too dangerous--see drought years.

Hey, don't hate the player, hate the game.

 

I think if the draft capital is good enough, you have to at least consider it and to disregard this notion, is irresponsible.

I mean, sure we already have Josh Allen. But those are draft picks. A draft pick can turn out to be anything...heck we could even end up with the next Josh Allen!

 

Something about a bird in the hand being better than two in a bush applies here, I believe. So I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request. Means 'no'".

Then let KC trade Mahomes for that hypothetical trade package.

[Bruffalo]

The Bears would likely take that trade in a heartbeat.

 

So as a Bills fan I would immediately say no.

Some people will never realize what they have until it’s gone.

[NewEra]

His 30M cap hit in 2024 turns into 113M.  I don’t think it’s possible.

[K D]

I voted yes because I enjoy chaos

Dude, this doesn't even make sense, but i'll humor you.........Mahomo is a multi-SB winning champion, they ain't letting him go at any cost.

 

We've got the 2nd best QB in the league with very little team around him. If the opportunity comes up to build a whole roster through structural foundation, all on a rookie deal, you have to at least consider it......i guarantee you that our FO have done their due diligence and have at least thought about it......albeit, probably as just a passing glance, but i'm sure the notion has come up, as i'm sure it comes up with every franchise with a legit QB. Now, whether they ever act on it is another story.

[Southern_Bills]

Nah, Josh is off the table. Even for your whole draft for 5 years. If I don't have a QB what does it matter I have everything else.

Scary thing is that if any team could recover from that level of stupidity, KC is probably the one team that could. Andy Reid has always maximized the talents of his QB's, and with that many picks they'd find him someone who could execute his offense with at least a Donovan McNabb/ Alex Smith type of production.

They are not trading Allen. That is insane. Name one franchise QB who was traded when he was in his prime. How many years went by since Kelly retired, and Allen was drafted. Franchise QB's are hard to find. Go ask Jets fans who haven't had one since Namath. The Bills have a lot of picks in this draft. Plus, their cap situation will be much better next year. Window #1 to win a Super Bowl with Allen has probably closed. But as I mentioned Allen will be 28 this year. Beane will rebuild/retool the roster to try and win a Super Bowl with Allen over the next few years. That is the reality of the Bills situation. I was kidding about the Chiefs trading Mahomes. That is about as believable as the Bills trading Allen.

No I heard we have wasted his prime.  McD will never win anything.  Beane is avg at best.  The rest of the team is garbage.  Time for a rebuild.  

I mean whats the point of responding to this seriously. 

[BigDingus]

It would take 3 years worth of 1st & 2nd round picks, plus additional compensation. The Bills went 20 years without a franchise QB, so it would be absolute insanity to willingly give one up.

 

But if you had 3 straight years of multiple 1st & 2nd round picks (along with everything else), you'd at least have a good chance of getting another. Only question would be "was it worth jumping through all those hoops when you already had a guy?"

 

If it took multiple years to find the replacement, then probably not. Those picks would've likely been wasted.
