If they get anything for him, I'd be very surprised.That stance appears to have changed months later, however, as NFL.com's Michael Lombardi is reporting that he's heard that the Bills are shopping Maybin - to no avail, of course - on the trade market, and that they're hopeful that another team will take the former No. 11 overall pick off of their hands.

we won't get anything for him.. cut his ass!
Do they really think anyone would take him? What a waste of time.
How are they gonna trade him when evryone in the league knows he will probably be cut in another couple of weeks ?
I seriously, seriously doubt any team is even going to be the slightest bit interested. But come on, people, you might as well call around. Like all of you wouldn't rip into them if they just cut him without seeing if they could get a gullible team like the Raiders to give up something for him? My word, Charlie Whitehurst netted a 3rd round pick.

I absolutely wouldn't rip the FO for cutting him without seeing if anyone wants him. He has no value. NONE.
As bad as the maybin pick was, i'm sure there were teams picking 12-32 that were thinking about maybin. he was slated as a first round pick that year.
plus there is a view out there occassionally that the bills mismanage their talent and it's not simply an issue of guys having no talent. Though in this case that's a hard sell.
If there is any sort of conditional pick dangled, i think i'd take it.
though, with this team and its propensity to accumulate injuries, you might as well have him slated in as OLB than not have anyone.
No harm in checking to see if someone somewhere is dumb enough to give something up for him.
Keep that PS2 in pristine condition another 20 years & it might be worth something.
If they can pull something for him, all the props to the front office.
then again maybe you don't want to keep drafting stiffs from the Big -10.
Evans- best of bunch but underperformed last year.
Whitner- sucks
Poz- step above sucks
Youboty-sucks
Maybin- sucks
Tim Anderson- from few years ago was a 3rd rounder who sucked.
Maybin is only 23 years old, he's basically a rookie. He has plenty of time to blossom into a star.

I almost typed that whole sentence with a straight face.
Jauron is on the coaching staff in Cleveland.
Just sayin'.
but there is someone smarter than jauron in charge of player decisions.
I just hope maybin was judicious with his spending. He isn't getting a paycheck like that again for awhile.
That looks like one of my old posts. Well, the time is over. The Bills finally have some talent worth keeping, no more room on the roster for Maybin.
with our luck, nobody is willing to give up a 7th rounder (is there even 7rounds anymore?) NE ends up signing him just to use his ""inside info"" and to further humiliate us, actually start him at OLB so he can get 3 sacks and take Fitz out for the year, then cut him that next monday

If you make something "Idiot-proof", they'll only make better idiots!
Maybin is worth something, as human organs.
to me, it just shows that they still don't get it. Why bother making the effort when you know there is a 99.99% chance that the effort will be futile? They let a FA go to the Dolphins because they were too busy trying to sign late-round rookies but somehow they have time to shop Maybin for a trade?
What a joke.
i don't think those things are connected OP.
trying to move a guy you have no intention to keep is good no matter what. failure only results in doing what you expected to do anyways.
yes, letting kevin burrnett go because you are the only organization that doesn't multi-task is annoying.
Really? Do you ever just read your posts? I seriously don't believe you when you say "I absolutely wouldn't rip the FO for cutting him without seeing if anyone wants him. He has no value. NONE." You would absolutely rip them because that is what you are good at.
How hard is it to do something similar to what the 49ers did, send out an email stating he is on the market? Time isn't so precious that they shouldn't be at least trying to trade him before letting him go. I am sure it hasn't consumed them so much that it caused something else to be pushed to the side.
BERNIAC!
