Bryce Brown Traded To Buffalo

[PhillyPhreak54]

@Jeff_McLane: A little more clarity on compensation for Bryce Brown: #Eagles and #Bills swap 7th rders and Birds get 1 of 3: '15 4th or '16 3d or '16 4th.

@AlbertBreer: The pick Bills sent to Philly is a conditional pick from SF. If it's a 4, Eagles get it next year. If it's a 3, Eagles get Buffalo's 2016 4.

So they basically traded Stevie Johnson for Bryce Brown. Bad move.

I really didn't think they'd get higher than a 5th or 6th for Brown, so a 4th is great value. Now the Bills have Spiller/Jackson/Brown...why have that many backs unless one is on the move.

being able to stop watching the draft at 224 instead of 237 is the best move the eagles have made in the entire draft

btw how awful a trade is this for buffalo....running backs barely get drafted before the 3rd round anymore yet they gave up a 4th for bb?

throw in the other picks they have traded next year and this is really dumb

Sort of what I'm thinking.  The best RBs in CFB go in the 2nd now.  The bills could be giving up an early 3rd for BB.

you can pretty much get running backs anywhere and they are so dependent on other positions....why trade for one

and its not like there havent been any terrible running back trades in the recent past that buffalo could have referenced....even joe banner knows this

Good trade.  I like Brown's potential, but he obviously wasn't working in Chip's system last year.  A change of scenery and a new system might do him good.  I'm guessing this means that Fred Jackson's job is in jeopardy since he (Brown) is the exact opposite of CJ Spiller.

Fred Jackson is a grandfather.  Of course his job is in jeopardy.

Getting something for your third/fourth string RB is pretty remarkable. Well done.

[ice grillin you]

confirmed today that it will indeed be a 4th in this years draft

could chip pull off something as good as this?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Like someone said to The Jaccson Hit Piece Author on twitter...making a deal for a 4th rounder isn't something to get all fired up about.

Good deal by Howie - bad deal by Buffalo.

Whoever Chip hires as new GM/personnel guy will be hard pressed to pull off a better deal than Howie did in getting a 4th for Bryce Brown

And someone replied that it was over the top to praise acquiring a 4th rounder.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I actually thought Buffalo underused him.

Which makes sense now that its coming out that Marrone was severely limiting the offense.

[Rome]

Whoever they hire will do these deals, not Kelly.

Other than that, great insights.

chip didnt trust or respect howie, thats the whole reason this thing started a year or so ago.

but chip isnt sitting on the phone and negotiating a trade....thats for whatever front office bitch he hires and can therefore control.
