Counting coaches, contracts, salary cap, everything.
Right now, I think I would only take the Pats, The Steelers, and the The Eagles. There are surely better teams, the Colts for example, but I don't think I would take their entire roster and their future cap and defense and coaches for ours. Again, I am not saying the Bills are the fourth best team in football. I am saying we have a lot of young good players, we're in good cap shape over the long haul, I like our coaches, and we have a couple of stars in the making. Please list every team you would swap in total right now for ours.
So has TD done a good job?
Counting this year, Tom Donahoe will have had five years of #1 picks, counting his trading. Here are the players he has acquired because of his machinations:
Nate Clements
Travis Henry
Brandon Spoon
Mike Williams
Drew Bledsoe
Willis McGahee
Lee Evans
JP Losman
Five years. Eight players. One washout. Only one chance in the top ten. All starters at one time. Two bonafide stars in Nate and Willis. Three pro bowlers with Willis likely a fourth. A big OL coming into his own. Three young potential stars in the skill positions: Willis, Evans, Losman with a ton of time left on their contracts.
It ain't a bad record.
Note: Obviously he got the extra choice by his clever maneuver of transitioning Peerless, which not only wasn't really expected but handled correctly and we would have lost him for nothing.
Go ahead. Say "scoreboard". Say how many years have we made the playoffs? Its a legitimate complaint. But please then list all the teams you would trade our roster for right now.
