Another Trade Incoming! Bills trading DE Darryl Johnson to Carolina!

[davos]

I mean, he could work out nicely so let's go!

The whole Elflein and Erving still rubs me the wrong way.  I feel like we could have curated a much better OL than we did but I can't complain much with the rest of the roster and what they've done.

The only contrarian thing I'll say is this, why not just keep Efe Obada who could also pass rush from the interior??

I don't think Obada was useful on ST

I dont get why the bills would trade him since he is cheap and only get a 6th for him.  I just dont understand things sometimes

Marquis Haynes going to IR I bet 

Or cut, I mean a 4th year player should look good against backups in preseason.  Don't get me wrong, he showed flashes this preseson, but you also have to take that into account when evaluating him.

Maybe he wasn't going to make the roster, and we wanted dibs on him.

I don't think so... I really think Rhule and company just wanted another more traditional 4-3 guy

Burns, Haynes, & Reddick are size-wise more in the mold of a 3-4 OLB.  I know they can play DE in a 4-3 alignment, but they don't really have the size to move inside to pass rush on 3rd down.

Will also be a core ST player- led the Bills in preseason tackles on ST, which is impressive for a big guy

Luke was in Buffalo scouting talent for us.

He definitely played ST, but you're right that I don't ever remember him making an impact.

And Johnson is several years younger

we traded our 6th rounder next year for him.  Fit has made 4 trades in the last 14 days.  

We may end up with no picks in 2022 at this rate

[Mr. Scot]

Man, Fitterer sure loves to trade.

I sense Dan Morgan behind this one

Some responses to the trade by Bills fans: 

Damn. He was great on ST and has shown flashes of potentially be a contributor on defense. However…. ST standouts are a dime a dozen, and we’ve spent a 1st and two 2nds on edge guys the past two years, so he likely wouldn’t have gotten a shot anyway.

Bam... I liked you and Routed for ya. Sorry to see you go.

Later Bam. I guess this is karma for stealing Andre Smith lol

I agree with a lot of your posts, but respectfully, you are in left field on this... 

Haynes was solid last year (5.5 sacks which was 2nd on the team) and has had an excellent TC and preseason.  He is going to get substantial playing time this year.

This move is bad news for Christian Miller/ maybe Phil Hoskins...

Haynes will 100% make this roster
