    Bills make a run at free agents



    "Rhodes and Brown are angling to be No. 1 running backs and want contracts worthy of an NFL starter. It’s hard to imagine either co-existing with McGahee, and their visits offer further evidence that McGahee’s days likely are numbered in Buffalo."

    "The Bills probably can’t expect more than a third-round pick in return for McGahee, unless an injury forces a team to become more desperate. In trading Jones to the Jets, Chicago had to give up its own second-round pick (63rd overall) in order to get the Jets’ second- rounder (37th overall) in return."

    Question - would it be worth it to trade our 2nd and McGahee for the Ravens 1st and 3rd? Or are we better off just trying for their 2nd? The more creative we get, the easier he is to move.

    Just because the Bears made a dumb trade, it doesn't necessarily set the market price for all RBs. At least it shouldn't.

      What they got out of that deal is the equivalant of a thrid rounder on those draft pcik value charts. Trading up 26 spots in the 2nd round is considered a pretty significant gain.

        a 1200 yard rusher that had 6 tds for a 26 sport trade up is not very smart. Matter of fact the jets bent the bears over and clearly fleeced them in this deal.

          Honestly The Answer would rather keep the overrated mediorce back we already have than sign either Rhodes/Brown.
