Trade rumor coming from buffalobills.com main board

[Kerr]

Someone posted on the main board that Sirius said there were talks between the bills and lions of trading losman and a pick to detriot for Roy Williams or Shaun Rogers, or something like that. Apparently Jauron was very high on Roy Williams from his time in Detriot.

First off, I wouldn't hold it past Millen for trading losman for williams. The guy is a terrible Gm. However, if such a trade were to occur, it would probably take losman and a pick. Keep in mind, Williams denied rumors he wanted out of detriot just recently. He said he wanted to be a lion for life.

Second, I think it'd be far more realistic of landing Shaun Rogers for Losman. Lions have always been unsatisfied with Rogers. At his best, he'd be a big addition to the defense.

Discuss.

I'd work out a deal for both

Re: Trade rumor coming from buffalobills.com main board

Wow! If we could get either of those guys, that would be ****ing awesome!


Lee Evans, Roy Williams, Josh Reed, Roscoe Parrish

Shaun Rogers would also give us the big DT that we have been needing. He is very underrated!

The rumor also allegedly had the Bills talking with Atlanta about DeAngelo Hall (for Losman).

OK, Clump. Just to give you a head start, here are all their numbers, just incase:

*Note: Both Evans and Williams can void after 2008, so we'd probably have to re-sign both before next season is up if he were on the team:

Roy Williams
8/1/2004: Signed a six-year, $27 million contract.
The deal includes $11.16 million in bonus money.
2008: $574,500
2009: $912,000 (void year)
2010: Free Agent


DeAngelo Hall:
2008: $570,000
2009: $957,500
2010: Free Agent


Shaun Rogers:
1/1/2005: Signed a six-year, $43 million contract.
The deal included a $15 million signing bonus.
2008: $4,250,000
2009: $5,250,000
2010: $7,000,000
2011: Free Agent

I agree.

But, just for the fun of it...I think that either deal would be terrific for the Bills if it were true.

My preference would be for the Bills to get Shaun Rogers, rather than Roy Williams, because Pro Bowl DTs are a lot harder to find than even excellent WRs. Even if it cost a first day draft pick plus Losman, adding Rogers to McCargo, Tripplett, K.Williams would really solidify the interior of the Bills defense and make it possible for Posluzny, the other LBs and Whitner to really do their jobs and shut down opposing running games. It would also allow the Bills to address their other primary needs: WR, TE and CB, with their remaining first day picks. R.Williams would be a nice addition to the offense, but IMHO it would be harder to address the Bills' D-line needs in the draft and I would have to be concerned about Williams' tendency to get hurt--he has gotten hurt a lot playing in a dome with Detroit, what would happen if he were playing in the cold weather in Buffalo?

Personally, I think that Losman is going to be hard to trade, especially now that every team in the league knows that he wants out of Buffalo. I would be surprised (very pleasantly!) if the Bills were to get the kind of value that is being talked about here in exchange for him.

The message board ( invented ) rumor season has started.

React accordingly. ( OMG,OMG,OMG !! )

Re: Trade rumor coming from buffalobills.com main board

We should start some of our own.

Hey, I heard that Reggie Wayne was unhappy with his contract at Indy and wants out, and Indy is asking a bag of balls and an Olive Garden gift certificate for him!

Discuss.

Re: Trade rumor coming from buffalobills.com main board

If we get more than a second-day pick for JP I'll be stunned and whoever the GM happens to be for us that pulls it off should be given a pass for life.
