Everyone opinion counts in here, but I agree JP needs to be put on the trade block, and I am just throwing out a couple names

CB Ashton Yobouty
one of our 3 FS's either Simpson, Wilson, Leonhard
A-Train

Trades should be realistic. The only player that we should be trading is Losman.

As for trading FOR a player... Javon Walker, Roy Williams, Shaun Rodgers are all realistic.

Detroit is listening to offers for both Roy Williams and Shaun Rodgers, what kind of package do we want to put together? do we want to go after both, just one.....do we want to switch picks with them #11 to #15 and include another pick....I know they don;t need/want JP what do you guys think?

I am thinking if we go both that we can trade back from #11 to #15, through in a 3rd and a 5th.

This would value Rodgers as a 5th rd pick, and Roy = trade back 4 spots and a 3rd, which is around a 2nd....if you guys want I will propose this trade to Detroit.

i'd say go for Roy, I want to know Shaun's Cap number i think he has a monster contract, if i remember correctly he's the highest paid DT in NFL history.

Ok guys I am going to offer a swap of 1st rd picks #11 to #15 and a 3rd pick for WR Roy Williams, unless I get some serious feedback against this I am going ot go through with offering the trade.

Hey guys,

We have 46 players, so we will probably need to cut a few.

Here's who I think we should resign out of the UFAs:

-Mario Haggan (special teams, backup SLB - beats out Stamer)
-Bryan Scott (really impressed with this guy as a backup DB/run defender)

I'm fine with letting the lest go.

I think we should cut:

-Anthony Thomas (#4 RB won't have that big of an impact on the team anymore)
-Ryan Neil (LS/DE - wasn't impressed this year)
-Darian Barnes (I think we should get a real good FB, if we wan't a really good running game, we will need a great FB

Also asked the Lions what they think about trading up with us for Roy Williams, and us sending some value to them.

Also, we might want to consider adding Larry Triplett to the trade block - he's not worth his contract.

i was approached with a dwayne robertson from the jets for jp losman trade and am just going to give my insight
in my opinion this trade is not worth it
robertson is big but thats about it

a more reasonable trade might be

jp losman and are 4th for johnathan vilma

any opinions

and without knowing the cap hit and everything else
i think we should resign leonhard
he did very good for us and we never know in buffalo when someone is going to go down and he can step up and be a starter

I asked yah abotu Robertson because I am not sure if he would fit within our scheme....wasn't a trade that was actually proposed though

I do like Leonhard, but I also think S has the most depth, so I want to keep him too, this would mean S shouldn;t even be addressed in the darft at FA at all, even if the option presents itself
