He’s a third year first round pick that can’t get on the field. I can’t remember the last time a player like that worked out. Over and over again we reference how his value is completely in the toilet I.e. no one wants him particularly much, but he’s also “very valuable” as a depth piece. confusing to say the least. I didn’t think the idea of trading a third year first round pick who does not play, does not fit our system, and has effectively been replaced/outplayed by Douglas, Benford, Dane Jackson would be so controversial. This was just supposed to be a fun thread about trades! I mean, if Cole Bishop can’t see the field 3 years from now, I’ll consider him a massive bust. And he’s only a second rounder! So yeah, I consider Elam a massive bust. I have serious doubts he makes the team next year if he’s not traded before then. Again, Elam may have saved a playoff game last year with his interception in the endzone. yet you keep saying he is not good depth. you are dying to give a way a player for no reason. like I said though, Call Dallas offer his straight up for Aubrey.

FireChans Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago (edited) 28 minutes ago, NewEra said: Who is talking about being a bust? Maybe you can move the goal posts even further next time. YES, CURRENTLY SPEAKING- ELAM IS OBVIOUSLY A BUST. That doesn’t mean anything with regards to him being our best backup boundary corner in 2024 and possibly competing for a starting spot in 2025…..which was our conversation……until you decide to move the goal posts. night mang If he’s currently a total and complete bust, I really do not see the handwringing over trading him for whatever “depth” he provides or the “chance” he competes for a job in 2025. It’s far more likely he’s cut/traded in camp. It’s far more likely if he had to start this year due to injury, he’d suck. Hes not in their future plans. Hes not good. I’m sure McD and co can find some street FA to play at his level if they needed to due to dire injury. It’s not like if they traded away Elam, they wouldn’t start working out CB’s anyway. Very bizarre lines of thought here. 25 minutes ago, MikePJ76 said: Again, Elam may have saved a playoff game last year with his interception in the endzone. yet you keep saying he is not good depth. you are dying to give a way a player for no reason. like I said though, Call Dallas offer his straight up for Aubrey. That’s great for Elam. Hamlin has 3 picks on the year that were big plays. He’s still a terrible player, just like Elam. The Bills were up 14-0 when Elam got his pick FYI. The Steelers never got within less than 7 points that game. Hardly a game saving play. Edited 1 hour ago by FireChans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrPJax Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Things are going to keep getting weird as trade deadline is near. Jax just traded its starting left tackle to the Vikings and all they got was a 2026 5 th round pick that can elevate to a 4 based on playing time. He was just cleared from concussion protocol but was a healthy scratch last Sunday against the packers. He is owed 10 mil this year and hits the FA market next year. They just plugged in the second strung tackle who has a contract thru 2025. Hard to believe all the Vikings gave up for a starting tackle ( Robinson is his name I think) is a 5 th rounder in 2026! Just a side thought , it seems we never get a break. Tua is back and the fins looked better , and we will probably face flacco unless the colts lose or are just sending a 1 game lesson for the qb tapping out. I don’t know but listening to prior football players , that guy really screwed up and he will need to do a Lot to regain their respect. Colts are a good club, and better with Flacco unfortunately. Dude had to tap out right before we have to go there. Ravens also added another fast wr , so they aren’t sitting still. Hope Beane is still looking , esp if we could get some value for a 2026 pick. ✌️😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted 2 minutes ago Share Posted 2 minutes ago Nah, the most you are getting from a guy still on the bench in year 3 is a late future day 3 pick. I suspect the Bills believe he is more valuable than that as a depth piece right now. If someone offered a mid round pick however.... well they'd pack him off as quickly as they could.
