Report: Eagles Interested In Bills RB Marshawn Lynch

Email
PrintReuben Frank of the Burlington County Times, citing a league source, is reporting that the Philadelphia Eagles have contacted the Buffalo Bills about the trade availability of starting running back Marshawn Lynch.
In yesterday's loss to Washington, Eagles running back LeSean McCoy fractured a rib, and although he was able to return and finish the game, his availability is obviously in serious doubt moving forward. Philadelphia has just Mike Bell, former Bills undrafted free agent Joique Bell and Eldra Buckley on the roster behind McCoy.
Though the Bills have repeatedly denied any interest in trading Lynch, their first-round pick in 2007, reports continue to circulate that the team is open to the idea of trading him. With Buffalo very much in the league cellar and the team's backfield crowded beyond belief, flipping Lynch for a draft pick might be a wise move for GM Buddy Nix to make.
Buffalo and Philadelphia have a history of working out trades together, as the two sides completed a trade for tackle Jason Peters in April of 2009.

Just as long as they don’t try and send Peters back – from what i’ve heard – he’s hasn’t been that great.
Listen! You smell something?
Actually Peters would look awesome at RT. He has power. and decent feet. But that would never happen so… a second? Or a third this year and a third next year? It’s gotta be more than what we got for Willis.
ya i’d take him for a RT though

A bag of penalty flags
that seems like the proper trade for Peters.

And the Walker Spikes deal. As to Lynch give us a mid round draft pick, and King Dunlap and done deal.
The player I would like least at #9 would be my sister’s cat, Captain Creamsicle. She does have a great work ethic and agility, but I’m really concerned that at 9 lbs., she’s too small to play safety in the NFL. She also bites way too often on play action and is easily distracted by someone waving string in the crowd. Lastly, her wonderlic score was pretty awful, answering "meow meow meow" for most of the questions- Dr. Brackish Okun
You want King Dunlap? The Eagles line is a mess and he barely sees the field there. For two years in a row he’s been a surprise to make the team. To me that’s not a solution to anything.
I'll take a chance on a 6 foot 9 330 pound athlete.
Besides bet ya he’s better than Green and Meredith.

I'm more picturing him
As a throw in. And yea, I’d be willing to bet a lot that Dunlap would play better than Green. Possibly not Meredith, but possibly.

That would be interesting.
Either that or the Bills will probably ask for Joique Bell back and at least a third round pick. Otherwise the Bills may threaten to trade Lynch (if at all) to the Packers. Speaking of whom, have been struggling as of late even with Aaron Rodgers because there is no comparable running game to keep defenses guessing.

Have they given up on Dunlap?
I would love a 3rd rounder and a 5-6 rounder. Does everyone think thats fair? I mean honestly, not “I hate Marshawn and think the Bills will get screwed” type of reasoning, I mean real honest reasoning. He’s a 1 back with power. He has obvious problems with dancing a bit too much, but is a solid-ish blocking back too. Has OK hands but is close to strike 3…..

With the little the Eagles run, Lynch could be a real asset to their team. He’d be sprinkled in just when needed. Not having to rely on him getting good yardage all the time, they might make the perfect match.

I don't want to see Beast-Mode go...
But that “Three-Headed Monster” is more like a three week old puppy. Having all three backs is killing their production since they can’t seem to get into a groove.
me neither
i would absolutely lose faith in management if lynch went. That would just ruin the season for me
4th rounder or better...............I say do it.
And do it fast.

In a heart beat
We need a future a LB and Hawk and Poz 1A and 1B plus a 3rd rounder for a position of depth i would take that in a heart beat, plus we wouldnt have to play Bryan Scott all day, he is awful, and Hawk can be our blitzing back and poz can be our tackler

Beside Poz Hawk would have a lesser job
Right now Barnett and Hawk patrol the middle for GB, Barnett is the tackler and HAwk is the blitzer, but gets called upon to play coverage because Matthews is such a good pass rusher, Hawk wouldnt have to cover much because Poz can cover and Hawk could just blitz and he would probably put up better numbers in Buffalo, we need LB’s and to get a 3rd and a position of need for Marshawn would be awesome.

Well we could have put Kelsays 24 mill towards a new contract for Hawk - oh well.
Yes, I’d take 12 games of Hawk and a 3rd for Lynch – heck I’d take 6 games of Hawk and a 3rd.
3 AM Monday morning games all 2010 - that's just dandy !
Didn't Wilson play a fair bit of strong
when filling in for injuries in the last 2 – 3 years ? From memory he played well there too.

I wouldn’t Hawk has already proved that he can’t function int the 3-4, hence why GB offered him.

That's odd
considering he plays a pretty big role in their defense.
Also, where was it reported GB offered him?

"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
PFT. And he could have fooled me with that big role since he pretty much sat out the first game and a half and pretty much isn’t used in their basic 3-4 set.

For someone who doesn't play
he sure had a lot of tackles this week. And against us. Half a game against the Bills and he was in on 9 tackles? Did we even run 9 plays?
Also PFT never reported it. They said it would make sense.

He is 3-4 LB right now
He has to play to much coverage with GB though because Matthews is there stand up pass rusher, im not saying Hawk would be our saving grace but im saying if we were offered a 3rd and Hawk for Lynch and turned it down Buddy Nix should be fired.
I would much ratyher have Chillar because he can play OLB

He hasn’t really at all but If we could get Hawk if thats the deal we could essentially have Davis HAwk and Poz on the field at the same time and Kelsay on the weak side I would much rather have that then what we have now.

Haha that would just be too weird.
My roommates an Eagles fan. And we’re going to a game down there this year. He wore his TO Eagles jersey up here last year, and Ill be able to rep my Lynch down there… that would kind of be funny.
And King Dunlap is garbage. I hope that wouldnt be the return for him.
Lynch and Whitner for a 2nd and Mikel.
Buffal Bills. We have no 'O'
And King Dunlap is garbage. I hope that wouldnt be the return for him.
1. King Dunlap has only really played in the regular season. So how do you know he’s garbage? It’s not like Andy Reid hasn’t been known to keep running out personnel that haven’t been getting it done.
2. I said King Dunlap and a mid round draft pick. Not either or. lol

Well like others have said, the Eagles O-line is on par with ours… and if he isnt playing…
Plus I think that us packaging Whitner in the deal, brings the value of the pick up to a 2nd, and take Quinten Mikel in return. I just dont like the idea of us getting a player and a mid pick for our 3rd round pick from 4 years ago… I dont think Dunlap would be an answer for us at all… whereas Lynch would be an answer for them. I think a change of scenery could help Mikel too, he had potential but just never lived up to it there… I think he could come in, help depth and ST. And a 2nd round pick helps us with whatever we go after this draft.
Buffal Bills. We have no 'O'
If Marshawn Lynch leaves
A little part of me will die regardless of whether or not it’s a good move. Beast Mode’s one of the few entertaining players to watch (both on and off the field)
Circle them wagons!
Whatever it takes
get it done. I like Lynch, and don’t find him nearly the cancer everyone else does, but this is a messy backfield and there will be no resolution until 1 of them finds a new home.

Hopefully GB is still interested.
Certainly raises Lynch’s value.

Have to trade Lynch to make room for when they take Ingram with the #1 pick
If all the stars align, pigs learn to fly, humanity achieves world peace, doctors discover a cure for cancer, scientists perfect cold fusion, and hell freezes over, the Bills might win the SB this year.
With CJ still riding the bench and being used mostly for kick returns, Lynch is the last reliable offensive starter we have (that doesn’t rely on a QB to make plays). It’ll suck to send him away… but I’m sure he’s dying for an escape from this nightmare, too.
If Lynch goes, that’ll leave Pox as the last 2007 draft pick here in Buffalo. What a waste… and Poz should probably angle for a way out, too.

And good for him for standing his ground if that’s the case. Don’t settle.
by CanadianBillsFan on Oct 4, 2010 4:04 PM EDT reply actions
yes definitely
I am beyond thankful that Nix has been hanging onto Marshawn until hes had time to resuscitate his trade value and as teams have been hit by injuries. If Nix had the fever of the rest of this fanbase he would have sent him packing this offseason for a fifth or sixth rounder. Instead hes been pumping up his value and publicly saying he doesnt want to trade him all to the end of getting a 2nd or bust. I applaud Nix for that, its another reason I like what hes doing as the GM. Marshawn’s talent, youth and proven commodity status make him well worth a 2nd rounder for a contender as opposed to spending a pick in the draft to get an unproven kid who has never played among NFL athletes.
If Nix has to settle for a 3rd as his best option I’m ok with that too but I love that hes angling to get the best value he can.

Outside of Dwan Edwards, Wood, and Levitre, I can’t think of a single player on this team that shouldn’t be available for trade for draft picks.

If offer from GB was Hawk and a 3rd,...
…and Nix turned it down, it sounds like he’s looking for an upgrade plus a 2nd round pick. Might be tough to pull off, but props if he can.
I wouldn’t let him go for less than a second in terms of value. Yes, that includes possibly trading Lynch and Buffalo’s second for a first.
It can always get worse. Let me tell you how.
by Ron From NM on Oct 4, 2010 4:13 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
Assuming they’re around 20 and the Bills are top 5… that’s about a 300 point difference, which is a late 2nd value.
Interesting thought. The good thing for the Eagles is that they’d still have the same number of picks. Which is part of the downside to me for the Bills. Value is good, but right now they need quantity.

If the Bills can get a 3rd for Lynch they’re doing well. I can’t see any team giving up more than that.
Adding garbage to an offer isn’t going to help it either. “If we include these 5 players I hate, the other team will offer their first!”

I like calling him Sir Budford Nix, Duke of Trailer Trash.

Daaaa Dananaaana Danana Danaaaaaaaaaaa – I believe in cutting and trading my starters. This is a tough game when you don’t have any idea what to do with your players. We have not been where we needed to be in the last few years, and I only know one way to get worse….cut, trade, or release your players for little to no compensation….and if they really suck, sign them to an extension.

If offered a 3rd
Take it already!
If a 4th, try to squeeze out a bit more.

I beleive he's on IR
The player I would like least at #9 would be my sister’s cat, Captain Creamsicle. She does have a great work ethic and agility, but I’m really concerned that at 9 lbs., she’s too small to play safety in the NFL. She also bites way too often on play action and is easily distracted by someone waving string in the crowd. Lastly, her wonderlic score was pretty awful, answering "meow meow meow" for most of the questions- Dr. Brackish Okun
Maybe we can trade Lynch for Broderick Bunkley.

I don't think we want Bell back
After weathering the rain and spectacle that passed unsuccessfully as a pro team yesterday at the Ralph, I was wrong about saying to trade Fab 5 (YPC) Freddy last week instead of Marshawn. I’m tired of watching a back of Lynch’s size dance in the hole. I know he only had 4 carries, but they were all unmemorable. Lynch “might” have 2-3 decent runs of 8-12 yards when he gets 20+ carries a game, but other times he’s getting stuffed in the backfield or tripped up in a pile. Freddy has so much better vision and decisiveness as to make Lynch look like Mr. Magoo in comparison. He can slip a tackle and make a 2 foot seam into a 4 yd gain. Buddy is smart to milk this as long as he can for the best deal he can. Bell would have to play special teams to come back here, and that’s not his strong suit, so I don’t see that happening. If we could get a 3rd rounder plus Dunlap, we should do that deal. King is definitely not good, but he’s better than Meredith.

I agree with you taht Buddy is smart to milk this for the best deal but I have to strongly disagree with Dunlap King. If Nix trades a 24 year old bruising 1,000 yard rusher for a lineman that is “not good, but better than Jamon Meredith” I am changing my vote from approve to disapprove for our GM. We are rebuilding, we have the luxury of knowing this will take a while. No need to settle for “better than Meredith” right now.

pack blog
is talking about trading for lynch
and also lost a SS to IR today.
thinkin’: lynch for j.jones, wilson for hawk?
I would love James Jones
the problem with Hawk is that we will have to pay him 5 million this year, 10 million next year and then hes a free agent. waaaaay too expensive for a guy who will walk away and isnt very good. We have a promising young receiving corp for next year with Steve, Nelson, and Easley coming back. Jones would add to that.
The problem with the pack is that I think they lack what we really want in terms of player comp

I merely want Dunlap as an after thought. The main prize would obviously be the draft pick.

Not to mention the Darwin Walker fiasco
Where we traded Philly Kelly Holcomb and Takeo Spikes for Darwin Walker (which we traded to the Bears for a pick I can’t trace), and a late-round draft pick (which became Steve Johnson).
This also could have been an example of throwing the cookies out. I don’t know about you, but sometimes when I’m trying to drop some weight and I have some cookies in the cupboard that I DO but DON’T want to eat, I’ll try giving them away and short of that, just throw them out. I figure, better to waste a little money than to have something around that is just going to get me in trouble knowing its in my cupboard.

Go Jazz! Go Hogs! GO BILLS!
Good point Dyl
I think we still need a player plus a pick for Lynch, and a marginally better OL is still definitely a need THIS year so as not to get any QBs killed in action. We might need to package our own 3rd rounder w/ Lynch to get someone beyond just serviceable at RT and then worry about LT in the draft. We need to get creative and not just think Lynch for draft pick.

Let's do it before they change their minds!
Marshawn “Hit ‘n’ Run” Lynch belongs with Michael “Canine Killer” Vick. It’s a marriage made in heaven! Just give us a decent lineman and he’s yours!
Oh, yeah, I forgot to add something...
It’s logical, therefore rumors start. I’ll bet there is no league source, it’s just the sportswriter using his noggin. The Bills and Eagles frequently make trades. Philly needs a back. Buffalo has backs coming out of their ears. A trade is logical. That doesn’t mean a trade will happen because one of these teams is one of the most dysfunctional sports franchises in history, but a trade SHOULD happen. If the Bills have any chance of salvaging this season, they want a warm body, not a draft pick, but I’ll take a pick at this point. I’m desperate. I’m SO SICK OF WATCHING THE BILLS LOSE!!
If the Bills have any chance of salvaging this season, they want a warm body
This sounds like denial over the fact that we are rebuilding. One player isnt going to salvage this season. This ship will take years to get on course and dozens of players

Lynch for Kolb
I believe that Marshawn is still a talented running back and still has some moves, however Buffalo’s backfield is beginning to become too overcrowded. If Philly has this apparent interest in Lynch then Ralph and Chan Gailey should package a deal together to land Kolb at QB. Granted, Vick is injured and the Eagles may be reluctant to give Kolb up but either way you look at it Kolb is a much needed improvement at QB for us. If a package for Kolb doesn’t work out then at least land a lineman to get some sort of stability to our O-line.
Kolb hasn’t had a true opportunity to prove himself in the NFL yet. Yes, he has played against Green Bay in week 1 and Washington in week 4 however he attempted 11 throws against GB and got thrown into the game against the Skins. We still don’t have a premier O-line to give him ample time, but bottom line is he’s an improvement from Fitzpatrick. The luxury about the draft is Gailey can pick the QB who he wants for lack of a better word, our offense.
lynch for kolb
lol.. nice thought, but behind this O line, the product wouldn’t be any better.. lynch for a third is a real possibility, for a second not likely… lynch has forgotten he’s a power back, not the second coming of barry saunders..lol.. i wish they’d taken mccoy instead of spiller.. there’d the reality for you

From what I've heard no way the Eagles trade for Lynch
Rumors are that at Cal Lynch and DeSean Jackson were good friends and that Lynch was a very bad influence on DeSean Jackson’s work ethic.
Ouch
Low blow

the Eagles took a chance on Mike Vick
who is a bad influence on everyone and had a dog fighting ring as an adult in the prime of his career. I dont think Marshawn having too much fun as a college kid is going to be too much for them.

Michael Vick wasn't a college buddy of a
current Eagle star who dramatically underachieved in college when he was around Vick.
Marshawn Lynch was.
that was half a decade ago
Marshawn and Jackson are both well removed from their college years, if Jackson hasnt matured enough to not let Lynch affect his work ethic then the problem is with him. If your going to let a guy like Vick into your locker room I dont think you can not trust Jackson to be around and old college pal.

He was an All-American punt returner with Lynch around and had his best year receiving...
And had a down year the year after Lynch left…
Therefore Marshawn Lynch was an excellent influence on DeSean Jackson.
See! I can make up rumors too!
Action Jackson
We could have just drafted the eagles #1 receiver, no we draft lynch, suck for three seasons and then trade him for a 3rd round pick…..this is bs, im getting really sick of taking steps backwards when we are already at the very bottom of the league
I doubt...
…that Jackson would be as good as he is if he had our QB play for the last few years. I’ve said many times that rookies need veterans with talent to bring them along, and Jackson was no different.
And everyone would be down (or would have been, at least) on the organization for drafting another small receiver.

and then
when Jackson was doing nothing in Buffalo half the blog would be whining about how we could have had Marshawn Lynch who is tearing it up in Green Bay (they would have drafted him if we didnt).
All you have to do is look at the Rams and how different they are with Bradford to know that it all comes down to the fact we keep screwing up on QBs. Which is why Im ok with Nix not reaching for one this last draft. Once we get a young signal caller who is the real deal we can see a light at the end of the tunnel again.

As per Schefter
Bills seriously contemplated trading Marshawn Lynch last week but stood pat. Not to say he is untradeable, but will take a lot to get Lynch
Rebuilding a team properly takes time and patience
Honestly, if we can get anything a 3rd round and above for him, and possibly a player thrown in, I would do it tomorrow

Look carefully...
“With Buffalo very much in the league cellar and the team’s backfield crowded beyond belief, flipping Lynch for a draft pick might be a wise move for GM Buddy Nix to make.”
And that, right there, is why Marshawn will end the season with the Bills. Nothing Nix has done has been wise.
