BUF just lost their top 2 RBs in LeSean McCoy and Fred Jackson to hamstring injuries, as well as WR Percy Harvin with a hip injury. Both Jackson and Harvin's injuries appear to be pretty serious, and McCoy's is up in the air. We have a boatload of talent at WR and RB. Maybe we can work something out for a backup LT, like CYRUS KOUANDJIO 6-6 322 out of Alabama.
I'd be on the phone today.

You would probably have to trade Starks for Kouandjio, do not know if I would do that.
That might not be so bad. How much do we want to protect Aaron? Plus, Starks is from Buffalo...
I could live with a backfield of Lacy, Harris and Crockett, or Lacy, Neal and Harris.
No team is trading a young offensive lineman with even a modicum of talent for a 29-year-old running back.
This might get it done.
Looks like DAL could use a RB too. There is a market, and we have 5 pretty good RBs. DAL is also flush with OL talent.
You may have a point.
Fans tend to overestimate their own. There are young RBs like Harris, Crockett and Neal in every training camp.
You may have a point.
The Bills biggest need is still a QB. But Ryan don't care about QBs so he'll keep playing the ground and pound with a tough D game... and keep missing the playoffs.
Just saw on National Football Post that their #5 RB, Karlos Williams was hospitalized. Add to that a hamstring injury to their #3 RB Anthony Dixon. That's 4 RBs down in BUF.
They just added one, a guy named Cierre Wood as well as Red Bryant on the DL

Exactly. Robert Ferguson is still available, by the way.
No team is going to give up anything of value for Starks. Besides, the Packers can't afford to let him go. For all we know, Neal, Harris and Crockett are Sutton, Lumpkin and Nance.
Here ya go Trophies,
Thompson says they are always looking at other players around the league
From his presser today:
Packers look but don't touch.
The touching part is up to the player in question
The Packers ask every player to come to GB for a visit because that is the Packers' best selling point. What the non- Packer players and wives know of GB isn't overly flattering, so they always want them to visit in person and see the real deal for themselves.
If the player won't come for a visit, then all he wants is cash and that's not ever gonna be the Packers' best selling point. The Packers front office are merely playing to their strengths, as they should.
You wanna be a Green Bay Packer ? Come on over, we'd love to talk.
Just chasing a paycheck ? Auf wiedersehen
Now when it comes to trades, that's obviously a different story and I think the Packers will try to move a few guys in late August. The 2 suspensions give the Packers 2 extra roster spots for an extra week or so. That's huge in terms of roster flexibility
Ted will just tell the other teams: the vikes already have his plane ticket printed, if you want the guy, make us an offer
Three-way trade: Jeff Janis, Matt Blanchard and Demetri Goodson to the Browns, Terrance West and Whisper Goodman the Bills, Green Bay gets Joe Thomas and Buffalo's first-rounder next year. TT is an idiot if he doesn't take this deal.
I'd veto it and demand that a better deal be negotiated.
With Jarrett Bush no longer on the roster, I don't think the Pack has enough trade bait to land Joe Thomas from Cleveland.
I'd throw Gunter in if need be.

Plus cash considerations.
CAR just lost Kelvin Benjamin with a knee, then his replacement, Devin Funchess went down with a hamstring...
We are deep at WR.
Benjamin out for the year? I have him on my FF team.
Unless it's a dynasty league, WTF have you already had your draft?
It's a dynasty league.
Just did a search. Sprain and due for a mri.
Daydream thread.

No Herbert "Whisper" Goodman?
It's a dynasty league.
Between him and Colt Lyerla, your roster is hosed
This would be great if there were actually, you know, like trades in the NFL anymore.
(Insert name), you will get a (conditional) 7th rounder for him.
Period.

Patriots traded a lineman for a TE just a few short days ago.
Huge news.
Really.
I think teams have learned over the last few years that players once traded for are likely to be available on the waiver wire after cutdown. There's always exceptions, of course, but it's largely what the salary cap has done to trades.
Benjamin is out for the year. (I know I have Colt stashed somewhere deep in my reserves!)
How many here would trade Scott Tolzien for a starting calibre LT?
Oddly enough, both BUF and NYJ are QB needy teams. Desperately so. I like Tolzien a lot. The guy is performing very well. Might be an opportunity to get a nice bit of compensation for QB development, while adding an insurance policy to protect Aaron's blindside with Bakhtiari having some knee issues. That would harken back to the Ron Wolf days a bit. Legit backup QB who can start for a legit backup LT who can start.
In a heartbeat.
We're talking about Joe Thomas, right?
with Hundley around, yeah I could trade Tolzien for a good LT.
Even if they would give up an OT for Tolzien, who would they get?
Bupkus, that's what. D'Brick is the only LT prospect on either team worth a bag of spit, and they wouldn't trade him for Tolzien. The Bills O-Line is the land of underachievers with Cordy McLumox at LT, Seantrel the human lowlight Henderson at RT and Cyrus The Stiff Kouandjio behind him.
Tough to say Hersch. The Jets have spent a ton of cash to make a move on NE this offseason. They know that will be impossible without a good QB. They might part with D'Brick, for a guy who can walk in and start, and who learned from Rodgers/McCarthy.
