Does Lynch get traded this weekend? (1 Viewer)

I was thinking yesterday that with the Bill (lack of) receiving talent I would be inclined to use Jackson and Spiller as receivers a lot. I could see Lynch getting 150+ carries in this offense if they end up being forced to use Jackson and Spiller as their #3 and #4 receivers.

The Bills have Lee Evans, and then Roscoe Parrish, James Hardy, STeve Johnson, and Marus Easley. If they were hurting so bad at WR they would've had TO come back. He was ok. But I think they are ok with what they have at WR.

Lol.. The only reason Buffalo didn't bring TO back was the money. Why throw 5-6 million at WR when there are obviously other pressing matters that your team needs to deal with. The Bills are rebuilding... as usual. They need to spend the money to build the core (offensive line, defense) then worry about the skill positions later. Although I've been a huge Roscoe fan since the U, he's no #2 receiver, but an amazing talent that has yet to find his niche in the NFL. I think he's one of the best special teamers in the NFL, I'm surprised he doesn't have more TD's on punt/kick returns. In regards to Roscoe, they should probably try to trade him for a late pick or a conditional draft pick considering they are probably going to hand the special teams duties over to Spiller making Roscoe pretty expendable.

Any chance he goes to Tampa Bay or not? I mean they drafted Mike Williams WR who has some baggage so why not Lynch?
Derrick Wark signed a rather large contract there last offseason for like 4 million+ a year, so Lynch to TB seems unlikely. Caddy is obvioulsy in the picture there as well, starter actually. TB just has a really expensive backup in Ward atm.I'm still holding out hope Lynch makes it to Seattle if not this year, perhaps next. I also still hate SD for wasting a pick on Matthews when they could have gotten the more talented Lynch for pennies. I think Lynch would be a lot happier back West. Don't think he ever fit-in in Buf, nor did I really expect him to.

Now it may depend on team needs and circumstance but in dynasty I would WAY rather have Lynch/Jackson than R. Brown.
Lynch still holds considerable longterm upside imo. Now is just not the time to trade him. I'd also give Ronnie Brown for Lynch and Jackson(dynasty), in a heart beat. Buffalo is becoming the new Raiders for fantasy production. I'm doubtful Spiller can defy the odds either given the situation up there.

Well maybe Detroit could be an option if Kevin Smith struggles with coming back from injury.

Makes no sense for the Bills to trade Lynch at his current value. They could certainly increase his current value if used during '10' as the primary short yardage and goal line back. He's not likely to produce less then he did last year. Why trade him now for a '11' 5th-6th, when you could use him all year at a cheap price and trade him for better picks in the same draft? Maybe get a 3rd-4th... or better... Worst case he gets hurt, then what have you lost? 6th rounder? big deal...

The question is not value, if it was value they would do what is stated above. He's looking more like a cancer in the locker room and will make it hard for the new coach to take charge of this team.

Exactly.

Name one fact that would lead anyone to believe he's a cancer in the locker room... In my opinion he couldn't be much further from that, based on his personality. He may not be a leader, but I don't think he's going to do any harm.

I would agree if you were saying he was a headache for his new coach. Currently he is.. But not because he is a distraction to the rest of the team or because he causes trouble in the locker room. He's a headache for his new coach because he defies the unwritten rules when it come to participation in Non-Mandatory workouts. He also hasn't met or talked to the coach yet.. So, although it's not ideal, it's not unheard of... There are players across the league in stand offs with team management for a number of reasons.. You can't knock him for that, unless you're going to knock a long list of other players. That's known in the NFL as the accepted and only recourse players have.Now if you want to talk about off the field issues, you might be swinging a bigger stick. But I don't think it's reached the level of "we gotta get rid of this guy" for reasons off the field. He has played a season of football since his last heavy encounter. If they were going to use that as a reason, I'd suspect he'd already be gone.So,... I think this is a situation where they are luke warm on him, and he wants out of town. I'm sure they wouldn't be sad to see him go, but it's obvious they aren't pushing him out the door... Why would they? He's cheap, and he has skills... and no one wants to pay fair value.. and at that he's going for a 2011 pick, which they could most likely still get for him next off season.If I was going to buy a 15k car from you for 10k (you don't get the money till next year) and you had the option to either sell it to me now or use it for another year and still sell for the same amount (or maybe more), why sell it now?

Because that class of vehicle takes a lot of abuse and is prone to suspension break downs. Plus that particular make and model has well known electrical shorts which rear at inopportune times.If either issue arises, the vehicle will be revalued at $0.

Interesting!
Very, very interesting!
Let's see what happens next.
Marshawn Lynch joined his Bills teammates on the practice field for the start of this week's OTAs on Tuesday.
It's a smart move by Lynch. If he wants to escape his current third-string role in Buffalo, he's going to have to clean up his act and show some dedication. According to NFL Network's Jason LaCanfora, Seattle is "quite interested" in Lynch and has "maintained" interest throughout the offseason -- even when LenDale White was on the roster.

After practicing for the first time this offseason Tuesday, Marshawn Lynch denied that he ever asked the Bills to trade him.
"There wasn't no expression, but with the way that things were looking, it looked like it was a possibility," Lynch said. "If it would've happened, it would've happened. If it didn't, I'm back and I'm here to practice." Lynch finally met with coach Chan Gailey and offered: "Let's get this thing rolling. Already had it rolling, but let me come add my wheel to it."

Do you really think, that after a year of play, he'll be worth much less than he is now? Lets not start talking about what could happen.. Jeeze, anything COULD happen... with any player in the league.... Lets talk about what will likely happen.The Bills can't even get a fourth for him at the moment. What do they really have to loose? A fifth or 6th round pick? The odds are better that he improves on that value.

I think they are taking a wait and see.If Lynch does well when camp and pre-season begins his value will increase.If a team loses a running back to injury, the demand for Lynch will soar.
