Does Lynch get traded this weekend? (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter WFR
- Start date
if you are going to trade for him, you need to do it now and take the gamble while he is cheap.....if he does get traded to a good spot where he could start (SD/Sea).....you may not be able to touch him....
I think he will be traded and I think he will be a good pick up for whoever trades for him in the NFL because they probably don't have to give a ton for him right now....and he is still young and has proven he can produce....he could step in very easily to many RB situations out there and put up good numbers

He might get traded, and he might not. There's no way to tell. He may not have done great fantasy-wise last year, but he's still a valuable commodity to Buffalo. They have no depth behind him, and it's obvious having two solid backs is a becoming a bigger deal in the NFL.
If he doesn get traded, his value depends on where he lands. He could go to San Diego and regain the hype he had coming into the league. He could also get traded to St.Louis, since they have no depth behind Jackson, and his value would be minimal.
Short answer, his value is low in Buffalo, mostly due to the surrounding cast, so if you're going to trade form him, now is as good a time as any.

Can't sleep on a player like this. If you want to get him cheap, you have to take the risk.

Given his trangressions and being one strike away from a lengthy suspension, I would guess the Bills won't like what they are getting offered. At this point, I don't see Buffalo getting much more than a 3rd day (that sounds weird) pick for him (4th round or later).
I think you might be right.

Now that the Bills drafted Spiller, I think Lynch's trade value took even more of a hit.

So much for SD with Matthews going there now. Maybe Seattle?

Detroit needs a RB in the worst way right now.

Lynch could go to Det. Didn't even think of that one.

So its settled I say he has the best chance of going to HOU, SEA, CLE, or DET at this point. Anyone agree or disagree? Or what team do you think he is likely to go to. ??

He'll be traded tomorrow.

As of now I would say Seattle makes the most sense. Power RB to match up with his best friend Forsett.

So if you guys are a dynasty Lynch owner do you hold on to him or trade him away??

I love Lynch. He doesn't get much love for most people here and I don't see why. I've watched every game and he fought hard for his yards, rarely went down on the first hit. Once and a while you'd see him emerge from a pile and come away with a big gain. Last year he just didn't seem to get it going. With the suspension, not playing early on, Jackson having a bigger role, it didn't seem like he could get back on track. I think he has the ability to be a very good RB, depending where he ends up. It all depends on the situation and the talent surrounding him. But if he goes to a friendly place, Lynch is worth it IMO.

I totally agree. I'm going to be a bit bummed to see him go, and given the possible teams, nothing seems too appealing. I would have liked to see him in the SD offense.BILLIEVE said:

I agree. I mean he finished as the no 12 and no 15 RB in crappy Buffalo the 1st 2 years of his career. The guy has the whole skill set just needs to stay out of legal trouble and get a fresh start. I'd really like him to go to Sea or Cleveland. We will see though.
think he is only 24 right now....just a couple years older then Spiller...?...and a couple productive years already....if he bounces out of Buf he could be a great pick up for somebody
A change of scenery didn't exactly hurt Cedric Benson.

Unless the Bills think he'll make a solid special teams gunner (literally...lol) it doesn't make much sense to keep him around.

Lynch is the latest in a long line of Buffalo players who look pretty good in their first year or two, but who seem to drop off after that. Last year, Lynch spent way too much time dancing around in the backfield instead of hitting a hole. Obviously I don't know this, but would it really surprise anybody if it all came down to poor coaching? I wouldn't be surprised at all if he benefited from a change in scenery. I wouldn't expect the Bills to get much in return for him, but whoever gets him is getting a lot of upside for a 4th round pick, or whatever he fetches.BILLIEVE said:

I have a friend who is a scout for the Bills. Texted me this morning saying that Carrol has called the Bills this morning inquiring about Lynch and Seattle's 60th pick is in play.

I saw a link to that on twitter someplace. Seattle surely isn't going to give it's 2nd rounder for Lynch. Presumably this would have to be Lynch + a later pick for #60 or something like that.Edit: Here.

Bills #41 and Lynch to Seattle for #60

They trade Lynch to move down in the draft? How does this make any sense?I think they'll package Lynch, #41 and possibly other picks to move up in the 2nd rd.ceo3west said:

I figured, but considered the possibility of a mis-type. Glad you're on top of things there, Ivan.

Last text from my friend who is a scout with the Bills.
"They want a 5th, we offered a 7th."

Interesting tactic by the Bills - you're offering us too much please allow us to take less.

i think the idea is #60 for lynch and a pick -- seattle wants lynch and a 5th round pick, buffalo only wants to give a 7th
IvanKaramazov
Footballguy
If that's where negotiations currently are, then this should get done easily. If I was Buffalo, I'd do Lynch + 5th for #60 all day long.

I was hoping for Lynch and a 3rd for the Seahawk's #60.

well, buffalo's 3rd rounder is #72 overall. i don't think buffalo is going to give up lynch in order to jump from #72 to #60.I was hoping for Lynch and a 3rd for the Seahawk's #60.

Sounds like a good trade. The Bears traded Thomas Jones to move up 20 (or so) spots in the second round a few years back. As has been mentioned before, RBs just don't command much in trades.

Jones was 29 at the time though.
