Marcus Stroud to the Bills for a 3rd and a 5th?

Today the Bills released Larry Triplett. Also today Marcus Stroud was given permission to seek a trade.

And again today there were two high profile DT’s traded for a 3rd round and 5th round pick. Both teams had high draft positions, similar to the Bills. Both teams had needs at DT, similar to the Bills.

The SBnation Buffalo blog, Buffalo Rumblings, has the story on the front page, and it could be a very likely scenario.

My prediction is it’ll happen in the next couple days. The Bills need at DT is far too great for them to be releasing a recently-signed DT for no reason.

John Henderson Pre-Game Warmup

Among the many rumors flying are that the Jags are seeking to acquire Shaun Rogers and dish out Marcus Stroud. It seems like Buffalo is a suitor of Stroud, while the Lions have many interested parties in Rogers. But in checking out youtube for a Marcus Stroud clip I came across this.

I can’t believe I haven’t seen it before, this shit is crazy.

Jags trade 6th round pick and pair of eyeglasses, Acquire Troy Williamson

On a day that has already seen former Jaguars wide receiver Ernest Wilford sign with the Miami Dolphins and former Raider Jerry Porter sign with Jacksonville, the Jags have acquired a piece of junk that Mike Tice left in Minnesota.

Troy Williamson can’t catch.

He can’t see.

And now apparently he’s still worth a 6th round pick. For folks wondering, that’s what Takeo Spikes went for last year.

Jerry Porter signs with the Jaguars, so does Miss Cleo

Adam Schefter basically has every scoop, right? I’m hating Cablevision right now.

The oft-disgruntled Raiders wide receiver now has a new home. Even though he will be 30 by the time the season starts, he’s going to be a huge contributor. Considering he basically took 2006 off, and hasn’t had to work exceptionally hard with Randy Moss and Ronald Curry on the other side, he’s definitely still got gas left in the tank. Not only has he had solid years with bad quarterbacks in Oakland, but with the Jaguars running game, he’ll get single-coverage on the outside.

When Dennis Northcutt, Reggie Williams, and Ernest Wilford can carry you deep into the playoffs, Jerry Porter is going to get you further.

The word on the deal is six years and $30 million.

Additional Jaguars news is that earlier today they signed former Dolphins QB, Cleo Lemon to backup David Garrard.

The AFC is on notice.
