RUMOR: Bills shopping McCargo?

[M]

I just talked to my friend in Buffalo who said the Bills are shopping McCargo for a linebacker. Has anybody heard this?!?!?

It depends if your friend is rich.

Maybe he is running around with the same group as Skooby?

I read a thread about this elsewhere, where somebody suggested this but there was no rumor about it.

This is the first I've heard of this. It wouldn't be a total shock with the way Johnson, Stroud and Williams played Sunday. I don't really think it makes a ton of sense right now because of how well our LBs played, but the Crowell thing makes me think that it's possible.

What would we get? His value is pretty much bottomed out.

Re: RUMOR: Bills shopping McCargo?

It makes sense to me but I don't even think this qualifies as a "rumor." It seems like someone was just throwing ideas out there on a message board or sports column and said "maybe we could trade McCargo to fill the hole at LB."

Next thing you know, it's all over the Internet and everyone thinks it's true.

Re: RUMOR: Bills shopping McCargo?

WGR brought this up this weekend and they said that the fact that McCargo was inactive for the week sometimes means that the team is shopping him and don't want him to get hurt in the game.

But just sayin that if he was inactive that means we mite have something in the works
But i wouldnt bet on it

interesting but still just speculation. There's nothing to indicate that the team is actually doing that.

Anyway, McCargo stepped it up last year but was a disappointment this off season. Plus, the DL looked great on Sun without him, against a decent OL no less. We don't really need him, so if we can get some value for him, good.

Re: RUMOR: Bills shopping McCargo?

I'd worry if this happens b'cse I do not now how Stroud will hold up as the season goes. He plays hard, which is good, but if he got hurt, our D would take a turn for the worse instantly - of course, McCargo wouldn't likely vault us back, but he did have some good games last year where he was very effective. I think there is alot of potential with him and I wonder if his inconsistency is more mental?

Also, if this was true and they were indeed shopping for a LB, that would likely mean Crowell would not be with us next year.

I wouldn't be totally against this, but who is gonna trade for McCargo and give us someone decent?

Good point on Stroud's health.

Crowell's gone anyway. There's no way we bring him back. Don't be surprised if he gets an injury settlement and is a FA by October.
