Marshawn is tearing it up in Seattle today.
Just wanted to remind people what we got in the trade:
Lynch was touted as expendable thanks to the quality we had with Fred Jackson and the newly added CJ Spiller. It was touted by many as a big win for for the Bills... http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...in-a-major-way
2011: Chris Hairston, Round 4b Overall Pick 122
2012: Tank Carder 5th round, 147th overall
Cardner was placed on the practice squad and later picked up by Cleveland and has played sparingly picking up a whopping 12 tackles.
Hairston played two seasons with the Bills playing in 25 games and starting 15 and was placed on IR (non-football injury) in August of 2013.
Marshawn has blossomed in Seattle rushing for 1200+ yards and double digit TD's in each full season with the Seahawks.
Only CJ Spiller managed to rush for more than 1000 yards in one season and combined with Jackson, totaled 30 TD's since the trade while Marshawn has had 41 rushing TD's.
****.

Buffalo Bills: Marshawn Lynch Trade Is Paying off for Bills in a Major Way
With the departure of Lynch, Spiller and Jackson have been able to develop. Spiller gained more reps as a rookie in 2010 and was ready to explode when given the opportunity. Jackson started the remaining 13 games after Lynch left and finished with 927 yards on the ground.
The picks acquired from Seattle were a fourth-rounder in 2011 and a fifth-rounder in 2012. With those picks, Buffalo added tackle Chris Hairston and linebacker Tank Carder.
Hairston started seven of his 13 games as a rookie and has a chance to start in 2012. Even if he doesn't start, he has time to continue developing and eventually be a bigger factor.
Carder is entering training camp as an early sleeper and has a chance to compete for minutes. He should get into the rotation early on and grow as a player to earn a bigger role.
So while these two players aren't exactly tearing up the NFL, they provide value and upside to Buffalo. Both players have a chance to be big factors this upcoming season.
