Bills have been shopping McCargo???

Erik (Pompton Lakes, NJ): Tim, heard that you said that the bills were shopping John McCargo. Any idea who they may have talked to and what they might be looking for?

Tim Graham: I do know who they've talked to, but I would be outing my sources if I told you. So I can't do that. But I will say interest has been lukewarm from what I understand. I don't know what the Bills are looking for in return.

That's pretty odd considering we have no other depth at DT after him. If this is true, I guess OBD is completely unhappy with his play thus far. Maybe they are finally starting to realize how dumb it was to trade multiple picks for a guy like this? I also wonder what they are hoping to get in return, since we would lose our depth at the DT position without him.....

Very curious indeed. I wonder how recently they were having these discussions? I can’t imagine that they’ve done any shopping of McCargo in the last week now that the roster is set. Definitely makes you wonder, though…

For anyone curious, McCargo has three years left on his deal. He won’t be a UFA until after the 2010 season.

maybe we’re trying to get a linebacker

Our depth would be fine without him that’s why he’s got three guys ahead of him. What I wonder is who would you get for him? Our worst pick since That RT whats-his-name. Yeah, right, exactly! Grabbing Ngata then trading up to get Whitner would have made a great draft.

ehh

if we trade McCargo and say, Stroud goes down…..we’re left with only 2 DT’s and no depth whatsoever. Not a good idea….

McCargo is inactive today, which surprised me. It might say something that they are willing to play today with just 3 DT’s…

Yup

so I guess the rumor may indeed be true, which is odd because I’d hate to be shorthanded at that spot…

Possible trade scenario?

Maybe to KC for Demorrio Williams SLB. Stuck behind Donnie Edwards right now.

Tank Tyler from NC state already on roster there, could use a decent 4th DT.

Well what about us

Don’t we need that 4th DT? We don’t have a guy behind him on the PS, so what’s the point of trading him for a LB that may or may not be an improvement over Ellison???
