[Old 2020 thread] NFL Free Agency/Trade Rumors:

Quite honestly, IMHO there might not even be a 2021 season due to this “COVID” nonsense (among other factors as well); so they might as well use the capital to acquire weapons..

"Wide receiver Michael Thomas missed three games with an ankle injury and then was held out of the lineup in Week Five in a disciplinary move after he punched defensive back Chauncey Gardner-Johnson during a practice session"


Good Movie...

I really hope they pay JC Jackson he is developing into a very solid starter. Almost reminds me of Asante Samuel where he will gamble occasionally but will also make some big plays and be an all around solid corner.

Completely agree. I would love to see him locked up long term and get more playing time.

Bills cut OL after giving him a 15m$ extension less than a year ago. Worst GM, amirite ?

Seattle wants to keep adding offense when their defense is historically bad?

The only team that would likely do that is Tampa, because of Tom. But even then, it would likely be a 7th rounder only at most.

I do love Gilmore and Thuney, but it does make sense for NE to explore trade options given the financial hit those guys are about to undergo. Both would be worth quite a bit, especially to a team willing to grant an immediate extension. Yes, Gilmore too.

I could also see Jonathan Jones being worth quite a bit in trade. Dude has been fantastic, and he's young.

Jones being young is exactly why you don't trade him. You're selling your future when you don't need to.
Same goes for Thuney, imho. He's a better fit at Center long term than Andrews. Especially if we are going to a ground centric offense.

 

[Wheelman]

That would be the dumbest trade of all time. The only way that works is if Philly hands NE a 1st round pick as well.

Lol Thuney is not a better center than Andrews.

Bills release Quinton Spain seven months after signing veteran OL to extension

Quinton Spain’s time in Buffalo is at an end. The team announced it cut the veteran guard Wednesday. Spain said it was "time for a change."

NFW does Belichick do this. Ertz hasn't been Ertz this year and he's injured..

It would be a dumb trade and he'll never do it. We are much more likely to extend and pay Thuney than we are to pay a TE who doesn't block.

 

[NashuaPats]

Unrealistic, but by far the easiest path for this team to get better and potentially contend.

Personally I wouldn’t do it if he were healthy.

Thuney is significantly better than Andrews. And the 2 games he's played there are proof of it. Given the chance, Thuney could be an ALL-PRO there just like he's been at Guard.

Seriously do people think it was a conincidence that Sony had one of his most productive days on the field when Thuney took over C and created more space in the A gaps than Andrews ever could ?

Why trade away actual talent when our cap situation will put us into a highly competitive situation the next 2 years while others will have to do a firesale ?

We are not a 0-5 team that has been consistently rolled but a couple bounces and COVID infections away from being 4-1 or even 5-0. And yet the sky is falling yet again as every year in the last decade.

It is not a fire sale, it is dealing from a position of strength and getting assets in return without damaging the existing product too badly.
