Would you trade EJ ...

[ghz in pittsburgh]

if Cleveland offers their 2016 4th round pick?

I was talking to a friend today and he asked me that. Funny two week ago, it may be a no brainer -- how could you get anything for EJ? Today it may also be a no brainer -- how could you write off his potential now you see he may really have something there? Tyrod showed what he could be after 4 years in NFL. What about EJ next year?

Why is this even a question?

Stupid thread.

[baalworship]

Yeah, let's trade away a 6'5'' 240 LB QB that is finally getting NFL coaching for a late draft pick.

[Woodman]

To Green Bay for Aaron Rodgers maybe ...... so that would be a NFW.

[WagonCircler]

I'd trade him for a 4th in half a heartbeat. Less than half.

[MillsapsBillsFan]

I would give them Cassell for that.

[Jimkelly12203]

I would not trade him.

I also would not start him.

EJ has some time left of his rookie deal which essentially makes him cheap for a team to trade for him and let him"develope". He played good enough in the preseason to be worth something (the amount of compensation is up for debate). IMO if a team offered me a 6th round pick that turns into a 4th based on incentives then I take it. Remember if he is traded the bills not only get that draft compensation but also get rid of his contract and it no longer counts on the cap. If you cut him you take the cap hit.

A QB is a valuable commodity. The Bills have 3 that fans are fighting over which should start. I, for one, would hold on to them tightly. Injuries happen. to every team. When a team is desperate, the Bills could bets parlay the 3rd into a 4th or better. Carrying 3 QBs makes much more sense than keeping a kick-off specialist.

[GreedoII]

keep him as the clip board guy....he will be great

[HHURRICANE]

I rewatched the game and as good as EJ was he had one pass that was so typical EJ where he threw it into the ground 5 yards in front of the receiver.

I am proud of EJ and is by far one of the most likeable, hard working, guys I've ever seen. With that said he has a ceiling and I would trade him if we get enough compensation. At this point Id rather trade Cassel who I neither like or think has much talent but the coaches may know more than us.

No, AFAIK both is the same cap-wise. You always get the cap hit of his pro-rated bonus. Of course the salary is dropped from the cap. But that is also true in both cases.

[Victor7]

Well his value is as high as its ever been. If there was a time for a trade its right now.

I guess it depends on what the offer is. If its a 5th or lower I'd keep him around as our 3rd QB. If its higher than that trade him (Unlikely to happen)

How about for a player ? A corner maybe or a linebacker. We are paper thin at those positions behind the starters.

[sudzy]

Yes, I would.

[Novacane]

Nope

[Ed]

No way I trade him for a 4th. I'm excited to see TT start, but he's still a big unknown, and we know Cassel is a below average talent with no upside. Even if I wanted to trade EJ, I would rather wait until after this season. There's a good chance he could play in some games this year and with the weapons we have the improvements he's made, I think he'd only increase his value.

he may even play a major role not nay saying taylor but he is exactly what you said an unknown just as i think EJ is also. and cassel i wouldnt be surprised to his gone

[yordad]

Nope. Our 1st round draft pick showed obvious progress so we want to trade him for a 5th? Seriously people.

you must be talking about his ONLY incomplete pass that was tipped at the line. I don't know what game some of you guys are seeing sometimes

[justasportsfan]

I was a very harsh critic of EJ's and I say NO!!!!!

He is getting better under a better coaching not named Moron, I mean Marrone. He may just keep on getting better. It's not like Tyrod has proven he's the next Russell Wilson yet. He hasn't even proven he's any better that Fitz yet.
