[QUOTE="DTown SBrown, post: 295267, member: 2206"] I guess the key here is who they were offered with the 3rd round pick. If they were offered another RB or possibly a d back where, as posted, they are already pretty deep, then it would make no sense for them to part ways with what they consider a valuable commodity. If, however, they need an AJ Hawk (they do) who is a solid LB in the weak mid field they have, then they may go for it. There are many more gray areas to trading a player with value, as Lynch clearly has, than to trading just picks or backup players. I will give a few that could be what the original offer for a 3rd and player may have been: 1- 3rd round pick was from a team like the Colts, who, year in and out, have a low pick, which from BUF side, could be anywhere from 26-32 pick. In the 3rd rd, that would be pick # 90- 96. Not as **** as pick 64-89. PLUS, that player offered could have (hypothetically) been an injury prone, overpaid player like Bob Sanders. Would this make any sense for BUF? 2- The team offering the pick and player could have been no other than the Patriots, who were in the market for a RB, and they may have offered the pick plus an older player, either way, it is pretty rough waters trying to trade in your division regardless of the situation. 3- It could very well be that the Bills KNOW that they can get value from Lynch, as his contract was front loaded (thus he has no real effect on their cap if they keep him) as the season plays out. Look at how many season ending injuries have already occurred to premiere players. RBs are the most injured of all positions in the league. They can hold him the whole year, and if they dont find something they like, they can cut him loose at no loss. BUT, they can get value the later into the season it gets. On a separate note, Hawks salary is not a huge factor in his trade, as he MUST know his contract will need to be negotiated. He is one of the top 20% LBs being paid in the league, and he has done little to get a raise. He is a team player, and I think he would welcome a chance to prove himself in a different system. He is a down to earth player that I dont think would make a huge stink about renegotiating. Besides, even being slightly above mediocre would make him a star on that D. [/QUOTE]
