[Wally The Barber]

I hope we can get Briggs from Chicago by tossing in a 3rd rounder & JP.

[mybills]

Edwards crap play prolly upped his value, too. :gag:

[Romes]

keyword "maybe"

[colin]

briggs is free and clear to sign.

i get a feeling we are gonna sign one (hopefully more) guy on each side of the ball, one WR and one front 7 guy. we might grab a CB/TE or LB and DT.

i also think we will package up picks to get as many playmakers in the draft as possible.

d town putting up roy w. and sean rogers might be our big offseason.

[trapezeus]

that link was written by losman4life. the only thing i can agree with is that the draft doesn't have too many #1 qbs to chose from. but those teams that need a qb already have losman like players on their team.

I like scoob's trade, but i don't think chicago wants another grossman.

Briggs is going to be a free agent. The only way Briggs becomes a Bill is if we offer him a winning contract. That is, unless the Bears put the franchise tag on him and then trade him which would require at least a 1st round pick AND Losman.

Exactly.

[Nighthawk]

I wish we could get a lot for Losman, but the fact is, he is a very mediocre QB, with a pea brain and great arm. This guy can't read coverages and this offsets his great physical tools. What you're left with is...Rob Johnson.

[Dujek]

If we can convince some idiot GM that 2007 didn't happen we could get decent value for Losman. Unfortunately Tom Donahoe isn't a GM anywhere in the league.

Matt Millen might go for it though, he's almost as dumb as Donahoe.

[Ed]

Byrne is just a Bills fan with no real inside info. Like he said, it's anyones guess right now as to what we'll get for Losman. No one knows how other teams value him right now.

Didn't TD sign on with the Rams?

He received a franchise-prohibition for ending his holdout and signing his franchise tender, as long as he reached certain playing-time incentives (which he met). They can't franchise him. If he doesn't re-sign with Chicago before the start of the FA period, he will be a UFA.

[Ebenezer]

I am betting it will be a 3rd or 4th.

[BILLSROCK1212]

JP for 3 1sts in the next 3 years and another 1st in 2012 plus a 7th in 2020

At least someone knows what they are talking about with Briggs.

:rofl:

[HHURRICANE]

I've said all along that we will get a second. I have no doubt about this.

This year has been one of the worst years for QB play and there isn't much coming out of college so JP is like Nate Clements. He's the best that's on the market.

My prediction is a 5th rounder, and I think I"m being slightly optimistic.

Unless a GM is ******ed, nobody is giving us a second round pick for a guy that has shown time and time again that he's a mental midget behind center. He makes horrible decision, he's erratic as can be and he may be a leader with his mouth on Mon-Sat, but come Sunday he's a sulker who sits on the end of the bench when we're not playing the Bengals and things aren't going his way.

[VeggieMan14]

Please trade him. We will lucky to get someone decent for JP. I doubt we could trade him and a draft pick for anyone good

[Confused]

trade japers and 3rd for roy williams.

JP was one of those QB's contributing to the terrible QB play you refer to. There is no way in hell anyone gives a #2 for him. Absolutely no way.

We need to just take anything more than a 5th, he has to go if Trent is the guy.

[Wally The Barber]

I am confident we will receive Full value but never enough to satisfy Lossman fans.

[patmoran2006]

The Bills have ZERO leverage for him in the trade market.

[Romes]

Thats what was said about the Bills and Willis last year. Yet, the Bills came out OK in that situation.

I'll bet you $10,000 dollars that we get more than a 5th rounder for him. Just because you and I think he sucks doesn't mean that's his market value.

[venis2k1]

The Bills have ZERO leverage for him in the trade market.

I Disagree with that. The bills have all the leverage in the world because...We dont have to trade him. Whats the worst thing that can happen if we keep him? We have a solid backup QB with years of experience playing in the NFL in Buffalo. One that is firmiliar with the system and players. A Backup QB with tons of upside, and even more to prove heading into a contract year.

With Trents history of injury, this is worth the world to me.

Losman > 4th round pick.

And a QB that has demanded to be traded.

[Ed]

And a QB that has demanded to be traded.

I wouldn't say he's demanded to be traded. His agent said that he'd like to play somewhere else next year, but that he'd be willing to play out the last year of his contract if he has to. Obviously JP moving on would be ideal for both sides, but it's not like the Bills are backed into a corner. I think they'll work out something fair.

Personally, I'm hoping for a conditional 2009 pick. We have enough picks in 08 already and aren't looking at any significant losses depending how you view the Hargrove suspension.

Good idea. :up:
