Let's do it, we can trash Brandon Beane later if he bombs

 

This is such a great response!

Khalil Mack is the much more tradeable defensive end on the Chargers.

 

Mack's base salary is league minimum $1.225M and it's his walk year.

 

He makes a ton of sense for any contender looking for pass rush help if Harbaugh is looking to acquire draft capital before the deadline.

 

Mack should bring second round value if he continues playing like he did last season.

 

For $8M base salary the Chargers might as well keep Bosa and hope he gets right and then they have him under contract for $13M in 2025.

Maybe the most overhyped EDGE in the league. When the dude isn't hurt, he's often getting bullied. I wouldn't take him over prime Jerry Hughes.

 

 

He's always been really good when he's healthy.    With him, that's the only real issue.   He is only entering his age 29 season.   It wouldn't be too surprising if he put up 50+ sacks over the next 5 years and finished with HOF level sack numbers.   Sometimes guys figure out how to stay healthier later in their careers.

When was that?

 

His best season ever was 12.5 sacks in his second year.

He's played a complete season 3 of his 8 years.
He's missed over half the season in 3 of his 8 years.
The other two seasons he missed 5 and 6 games.

He's a B+ player when he's healthy playing at his absolute best.

1) but he's got almost 70 career sacks at age 28

2) But he's played 8 seasons at 28.   Mack, for example had only played 6 seasons thru age 28.

3) and 4) True.  It's the issue.   But if you got 10-11 sacks and 7 forced fumbles for $8M you'd be thrilled as a GM.   Joey Bosa did that as recently as 2021.   Then the acquiring team gets the option to keep him at $13M for 2025 going into his age 30 season.  

 

Wait til you see the salaries for pass rushers in the offseason of 2025.   You aren't getting much for the money he's on the books for.

 

I'm not saying he'd be my target.   I'd rather rent Khalil Mack.   But if the price was right I could see a team trading a 3rd rounder for him.

Not gonna happen.  The Bills will be good this year but not quite as good as they've been the past few years.  Would Bosa make the 2024 Bills better?  Sure.   Would Bosa put the 2024 Bills into the Super Bowl?  Nope. 

 

Beane is attempting to get through the end of the core group that nearly got the Bills to the Super Bowl (13 seconds away) without the team falling apart, and positioning it to improve substantially in 2025.  Tying up huge money in an aging player is what burned Beane a couple of years ago, and he's not making the same mistake again.

Bills Get: EDGE Joey Bosa

Chargers Get: 2025 Round 3 Pick

The AFC East has belonged to the Bills in recent years—the team has won the division each of the past four seasons. But after what seems to some a shaky offseason, it appears Buffalo's stranglehold on the AFC East may have loosened. Much has been made of the team's situation at wide receiver after the departure of Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis. But the Bills have a potential weakness on defense as well. Only one player for Buffalo eclipsed 10 sacks last season—edge-rusher Leonard Floyd, who is now in San Francisco. Buffalo's projected starters on the edge (Gregory Rousseau and A.J. Epenesa) combined for just 11.5 sacks a year ago.

 

My take - seems to be too unrealistic to be anything but clickbait. When Bosa's not hurt, he seems to act like a hothead on the field. And we certainly don't need to saddle our books with another big contract that could end up being Von Miller 2.0 after doing so much off season surgery to get our salary cap in a good spot.

 

Discuss!

 

 

Yup, pure fantasy.

 

The only reason the Chargers would give up Bosa for that little would be cap relief. But we're in much worse cap shape than they are.

 

We do need more sacks. Unfortunately we're not in a good position to bring them in in that way.

I still can't believe Mack took about a 4 million dollar pay cut when he was already being underpaid based off his production.  $19.2m is an unbelievable bargain.

Sounds like some boss at Bleacher Report got on one of his writers to write a story if he wanted to get paid and the employee got PO'd at the boss and decided to get his revenge by turning in the most ridiculous trade rumor he could come up with.
