You aren't but look what the Bills got for a guy coming off of ACL injury and potential so lets see what Lofton can fetch? He's a 2 down linebacker and who's to say this is just a way to light some fire under him

Alonso is on a rookie deal though and imo if he recovers will be one of the top 5 ILB for a decade

I could see a 3rd if he fixes that God awful contract.

We'd eat the bonus money. He'd be 1/2 the price to other teams.

Seems to me like Hawthorne would be the more obvious one to get rid of, which we may still do, but replacing Lofton could be quite a task. A decent draft pick as compensation would be good though provided that we don't blow it on some unheard of borderline draftable O-Lineman like we do every year.

I don't think Hawthorne is tradable, he has been a massive let down since he came here.

Lofton at least has some trade weight, no one wants Hawthorne when they notice how many tackles he misses or coverages he blows.

Wow. I didn't see that coming......I'll bet Lofton didn't either.

Unless.....we talked to him about a restructure and he said no.

Hmmm.........berry berry interesting.(Laugh In reference)

I'd rather proven commodity over potential when it comes to players that are already in the NFL

Kiko Alonso in his rookie year played like pro bowl LB. If that trade fails (shady is hot happy at all) I'll go after Kiko (he doesn't want to stay in Buffalo).
