"I know the organization believes Marcus Easley can be a number one or number two wideout in due time." - Chris Brown
The proof is in the pudding.
Lee was a great guy and a good soldier in the Bills decade long war with themselves. However, he was an aging vet with dwindling production and value. The Bills decided to part ways while they could still get value for him. It gives the organization a chance to really evaluate their youth and depth at the position while allowing a player like Easley, the chance to grow into the major role they see him in.
I have no problem with this.
I have a problem with the minimal value they received for the trade. A fourth round pick is unacceptable. Especially from a team like the Ravens, where it will probably be a low pick.
Aside from that, I like the fact that Easley will get more time and I like the fact that our depth (which performed very well) gets the chance to show what they've got.
Let's face it folks, we weren't going to win the big game this year. We probably won't even be competitive. But don't jump ship just yet until we see what players like Easley can do now that they can see the field.
Remember, Steve Johnson was stuck behind T.O. and Evans for a season. He blossomed when given the chance.
(Just trying to put a positive spin on a disappointing trade.)
