Don't bother asking for a link it's a pay site. If anyone with a membership can confirm it? Doesn't pat write for them.

Re: bills offer third and fith fot tg

To sum the article up...

* Bills offered a 3rd round pick in next years draft, KC wants a 2nd and a 4th

* Giants were offering a 6th, but now are willing to talk about a first day pick

* Eagles don't want the Giants to get TG, so they're in the mix as well

* KC also willing to trade LJ, with Steelers and Seahawks as potential suitors

* Author speculates Bills offering up Fred Jackson would then make sense, and that there may have been more to his disappearance from the bb.com roster and depth chart than a typographical error.. God I hope this isn't true..

* In other news.. NE apparently wants Huard back and is trying to make something happen there

I am all for acquiring TG, a 3rd and a 5th sounds fair.. but once the deal involves Fred Jackson it goes south for me REAL quick..

Buffalo shouldn't offer any more than this.

why would the steelers trade for LJ? They already have one of the best backs in Willie Parker and they drafted Mendenahall in the 1st this year, even though he's now on IR.

Fred Jackson is on the depth chart as well as the roster now, and i would do it for a 3rd and a 5th in a second

Thanks for posting!

A 2nd and a 4th for Gonzalez is pathetic. I would never do that trade. IMO, a 3rd rounder is fair, but no higher than that ...

The only way I see Fred Jackson being traded is if we trade a 3rd rounder and Jackson to KC for Gonzalez and LJ.

Acquiring Tony Gonzalez would help this offense immensely!! (A legit TE)
I hope it gets done!

If we don't fix this OL , TG will end up having to block for Lynch as well.

LOL now you're dreaming.

A 3rd for Gonzalez is fair. I would throw in a 6th if necessary.

That leaves Larry Johnson for Fred Jackson straight up. Are you insane?

First off, we don't need Johnson. All he'll do is create RB controversy. Marshawn is the undisputed starter here so we don't want to upset the apple cart.

Second, if we WERE to trade for TG and LJ it would have to be at least a 2nd rounder or more involved along with Fred Jackson.

I kinda agree, but kinda disagree.

Having a legit TE to dump the ball to can help neutralize a pass rush. I think after this bye week, the O-Line will make adjustments and Peters will improve.

Re: Scout.com - Bills offer third and fifth for TG

I can see a 3rd but not a 2nd and 4th!!!

Re: Scout.com - Bills offer third and fifth for TG

bottom line is if we are going to be a playoff team or a deep playoff team (second or third round playoffs) it isnt a high second anyway. get it done! 2nd and 4th and play to jesus that gonzo is all that we need for a couple years

[Oaf]

Re: bills offer third and fith fot tg

Agreed. And that's pushing it IMO. Again, this happens only if we believe he can make a Stroud-like impact on our O. (thus similar trade value)

I agree with you there, we are 4 and 1 and have a favorable schedule

lets get this deal done!!
