What is his $ number?
No brainer for the Bills. One year deal, and they should be able to get a decent pick for him (3rd might be wishful thinking, but definitely possible). That's not bad at all.
yeah but if you look at the last few yrs the trend has been increasing. A WR has been traded in 3 consecutive years:Chris ChambersRoy WilliamsBraylon Edwards
As a Bills fan I would love to see T.O. traded. I don't think there is one Buffalo Bills fan that can honestly say this season isn't done so we might as well look to the future. Get something for T.O. and let him go play somewhere else. The way he has handled himself here in Buffalo is almost deserving of a trade to a better situation. Buffalo is a laughing stockl in the NFL and T.O. has handled himself better than he ever has. Let him go and play for a team that can get him the ball. By the way, I was at the Bills/Cleveland game and it was awesome to see T.O. during commercial breaks and other times of the game. He was the only one trying to pump up the team and crowd. At first I felt bad for the Bills for bringing in Owens, now I feel bad for Owens having to be in Buffalo.
I could see it happening to Chambers again...
Thing is, 31 other teams had a chance to get T.O. in the offseason without having to give up a pick, and they all passed. I am not sure what T.O. has done since then to create interest where there was none before. Maybe it is what he has not done - he has certainly not acted out in any way - but his numbers stink, and he is still getting paid a lot of dough.Not sure I see it happening, although you never know.
It would make sense for the team. And, I would agree that I feel bad TO has to be part of this train-wreck, but I'd have a bit of a hard time swallowing that pill as a fan. A lot of fans (Not I) have spent $ on tickets, jerseys, etc. because of TO in Buffalo. To trade him now would be a slap in the face of all those people.Not to mention it would send the message to the players that they are totally giving up on this season. If they do trade TO, they HAVE to fire Jauron at the same time, and officially start the rebuilding process.
The Colts could sure use him after cutting Ed Johnson.
He's one of the few players for the Browns that they are actually happy with. Seems unlikely.
Yeah, but they need help in so many areas. If Rogers can bring several picks it may be worth it to the Browns to trade him.
His contract is incentive laden...
There were rumors during training camp that He was lobbying to get out of there and he wasnt meshing well with Mangini. Rogers was also wanting to get traded back to Detroit of all places. So who knows
Choice is the only one of the three who doesn't break like a china teacup. They almost can't afford to move him.
And they will need both Choice and Jones when they cut Barber next year.
Ummm...that's because he's currently on the BILLS.How did Randy Moss due in Chokeland?
The team clearly wants to build around S-Jax, which means beefing up the line and getting some better skill players around him. Trading him would only exacerabate their issues at the skill positions - they can address the line (and QB) in FA or in the draft next year.It's nice to speculate these trades, but as someone mentioned earlier, big name players generally don't move that much via trade. Sure you have the Edwards trade and Roy Williams and Chambers of the world in recent years, but those are more the exception than the rule. It's not like other sports where big time players move a lot at the deadline.
I think you have to look at it from a timing perspective. By the time they build around S-Jax where they are considered a contender, Jackson will be around 29 or 30. He's past 26 now. Whereas if they trade Jackson while in his prime for a nice bounty, they can better secure their long term future.
He would be a huge addition for them. Great blocker, and excellent receiver. Fits their O very well.
That was my thought process, but I didn't explain it as clearly as you did. Thanks.
Yes. This is absolutely ridiculous. He's still young and he's one of the best rb's in the game. Unless a team really overpaid for the guy, it would be crazy to move him. Not to mention the cap hit.
Skills wise, absolutely. In fact I can think of few teams he'd be a better fit for. But it's not his skills that scare off other teams.I hate the Patriots but would love to see them give up a later round pick for the guy. That would be fun to watch.
I know this might seem surprising because of his overall size... but TO doesn't block well at all.
I'd say he's average, overall.
You think Parcells is trading for TO?
Plus, it's a trade within the division.If the Pats weren't in the same division, they'd probably already have him for a 4th/5th rounder.
I believe Malcolm Floyd is Chambers' backup, and Naanee is Jackson's backup. Doesn't mean Floyd would definitely start over Naanee if Chambers gets traded, but it could mean that.
Yeah, I've seen those posts that point out a particular player backing up another because of position. I don't put too much into that unless it's the slot. Whether it's flanker or split end, there's not much difference between them. However, some players are more suited to playing the slot than others (exp, Austn Collie). With split end and flanker I think the more talented WR will take the open spot, and Naanee is more talented than Floyd.
You are leaving out Craig Davis the first-round pick in 2007 he had some injury issued but it seems like he did look good in training camp.
Which means they'll screw it up.
The product that the Bills are putting on the field is a slap in the face to the entire fan base. Keeping Jauron as our coach because everybody else on the coaching staff is even worse is a slap in the face.
The players have already given up on this season. Their "effort" the last two weeks should make that clear.
When was that? I don't recall him looking good. More importantly, he had only 7 targets last season and has 0 this season. I'm not even sure if he has been active for a game this year. If Chambers is traded, he might actually get onto the active roster, but no way would he replace Chambers as a starter.Flying Spaghetti Monster said:
Like I said, I could see it go either way. I have been higher on Floyd than most people.Interesting that you bring up split end/flanker vs. the slot. Naanee seems better suited for the slot IMO, so while he might get some reps wide if Chambers is traded, I'd expect most of those to go to Floyd... this is one reason I would argue that if Chambers is traded, Floyd will be his replacement and will stand to see the biggest uptick in targets and production.Hoss_Cartwright said:
Given that I believe there's a large difference in talent between the two, I respectfully disagree and feel that Naanee is the one to own if Chambers is traded, not Floyd.
