Report: Cowboys make DE Everson Griffen available in trade talks

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Monday that the Cowboys have made four-time Pro Bowl defensive end Everson Griffen available in the trade market.

In seven games this season, Griffen has 20 tackles, three tackles for a loss and two and a half sacks.

Is he a fit for the Bills? Do we focus on DT help instead?

IMO Just because we had some Defensive success against the Jets, that doesn't mean our previous defensive struggles are over.

fraiser was his HC his first 3 years into the league, he should be able to know if he can play within our defensive scheme

The first question we need to ask with any possible addition is can we afford him? We're running out of cap space to add a solid player and unfortunately it's too late to cut Murphy and save 8 million against the cap.

We can afford him this year, for sure.   His remaining cap hit this year is probably $3 million.    Then he is a UFA, so there is no Cap Hit next year.

And, if he left the Bills and signed with another team in 2021, we might accrue some points towards getting a comp pick.  Kinda of a New England Patriots move...

He costs only costs 1.5 mil I believe.

If we can’t afford him then we pretty much can’t afford anybody.

Go for it. The guy has to be better than some of the stiffs playing there now.  Losing Star was huge.

Lmao huge only in size. The guy couldn’t play

If they wanted him, they could have signed him in the summer when he would have just cost money. I don't see it happening

We don't have a lot of space, but I am sure we have $5 million to play with for the remainder of 2020...

Yup. Then let him walk and potentially get the comp pick.

Patriots would do that.    

I hope we do sign a DLinemen here at the TradeDeadline.   DT is first choice, but a DE that gets after the QB is a plus.

Then if the player we trade for leaves, hopefully we get a comp pick back a year later.

I want to say last time I went spotrac or one of those sites, they had 4.6 million. The chiefs had like 6 before bell. Thats why I figured we wouldn't get him lol

We need a NT more than Edge at this point. I would imagine we could find one for cheap.

Lions got him for a sixth round pick

A 6th?   For someone that could sack the QB about 7-8 times the rest of our season?    No, we don't need that.....Jeez.
