I’m confused by the Bates trade details. He was traded from the Bills to the Bears for 144 but then Chicago selected Booker with 144?? Booker was drafted by Chicago and is on the team so this selection can’t be the one that was traded to Buffalo… or am I missing something? Did they trade for the pick back?
It was a trade back. Chicago sent the pick to Buffalo but then re-acquired it in the draft by sending a 2025 fourth-rounder to Buffalo.
Appreciate that, thank you! I didn’t have time to Google it at the moment but wanted this question answered.
Said the same thing. Forgot about the trade back.
Bills trading Diggs looks like a solid move in retrospect. They got out of his deal with only a dead cap hit this year. And with the low prices teams have been receiving for WRs (Davante Adams a 3rd, Amari Cooper a 6th, Hopkins a 5th, Diontae Johnson practically free), getting a 2nd rounder is a good return.
I completely forgot we got a 2nd for him. I thought it was a deal basically just giving him away to clear out the future years for the one dead cap hit this year. Nice return indeed.
Yep. And even though they’ve missed his production, they’re still 6-2 and have acquired Cooper for practically nothing. Might need another small deal for another WR, but so far so good.
I learned this recently too:
The Cooper trade would not effect comp pick formula.
Meaning, the Bills could potentially get a 3rd rounder back if he signed elsewhere.
So basically traded back a handful of spots, not really a true 3rd given up for him.
Ive heard that both ways though, but a guy I respect on the radio clarified that.
I believe that is true.
I don’t know who it was in the NFL that originally stated “Sometimes the best trades are the ones you don’t make” but I thought that was an excellent and accurate quote.
But if you don’t make a trade, it’s not considered a trade. Maybe the best “moves” made are the trades that don’t happen or never made?
Looking for a newer Eagles thread as they are more under the radar and Barkley is right up there with Henry for the rushing lead.
Everybody loves the Kelce brothers, especially the media but had a black employee working for ESPN did what Jason did with that idiot’s phone, he/she might have been suspended. Jason owned up to it quickly, which helped him.
