Bills Willing to Listen to Offers For Marshawn Lynch
By admin
After months of stiff-arming interested teams, the Buffalo Bills are now willing to entertain offers for running back Marshawn Lynch, reports Jason Wilde of ESPN Milwaukee.
Wilde adds that the Green Bay Packers, who lost running back Ryan Grant for the season to an ankle injury, have contacted the Bills about acquiring Lynch, the 12th overall pick of the 2007 NFL Draft out of Cal.
Lynch currently leads the Bills in rushing with 156 yards on 33 carries, but the arrival of C.J. Spiller is a clear sign that Lynch is not part of the team's long-term plans.
The 5-11, 215-pounder does have trade value, though, and the Bills have three weeks to get the most in return. The Packers, whose one-dimensional offense hurt them last night against the Chicago Bears, should be one of the teams with interest in Lynch.

Go get him Ted! AJ or one of your precious 3rd or 4th round picks.

Man I'd give up a second at this point...we need a difference maker in the backfield because this one-dimensional crap will not cut it...Jackson's a solid backup but he just doesn't have the explosiveness.

If we want to have a legit title chance I say we make the move. Lynch certainly can't help the blocking which has been at times not very good, but he's a much more imaginative runner than Jackson and will be able to find the creases and knife for yardage. This really would be a big pickup and I think a 3rd round pick would be well worth it.
