As Retro speculated on another thread, Jarius Byrd has asked to be traded.
Any cap related issues can be worked out. Believe it!
My trade scenario:
Rams acquire S Jarius Byrd, RB Fred Jackson and 4th round draft pick - Byrd and Jackson are not part of Buffalo's future.
Bills acquire DE Eugene Sims, TE Lance Kendricks, S Darien Stewart and CB Trumaine Johnson
Analysis:
Buffalo's #1 pick from last year, CB Gilmore, is injured. Both of Buffalo's backup DE's are undrafted free agents. Buffalo's TE Scott Chandler is coming off an injury riddled season. Johnson, Sims, and Kendricks are young enough for Buffalo's rebuild. Buffalo's backup safeties are both high draft picks so they can afford to trade Byrd. Sending them Stewart helps our cap.
Rams gain veteran leadership and talent at two of our need positions. Our depth at CB, DE, and TE allow us to make this deal. Johnson has fallen to #5 on the CB depth chart. Sims can be replaced by Brodine/Rivers. We create cap space by trading Kendricks and Stewart.
Bottom line is we have to trade talent (not people about to be sent to the waiver wire) to acquire talent.
Please confine your comments to the trade of talent and future talent (draft pick/s). Cap issues can be fixed with restructuring as we have done numerous times this off season already with Chris Long and others.
