McGAHEE TO RAVENS TONIGHT OR TOMORROW?
A league source tells us that there's a good chance that the Buffalo Bill will trade running back Willis McGahee to the Baltimore Ravens on Wednesday night or Thursday.
Per the source, there are a couple of other teams still in the hunt for McGahee. As of now, however, the Ravens are at the front of the pack.
Also, a reader tells us that there are reports on Sirius NFL Radio that such a trade would entail Baltimore sending a second-round pick and a fifth-round pick to Buffalo.
If the trade happens, Ravens likely will be signing McGahee to a long-term deal. Based on recent contracts, McGahee could get $20 million in guaranteed money. (Ray Lewis will be thrilled with that.)
Meanwhile, the Bills are looking for McGahee's eventual replacement. Chris Brown visited Buffalo on Wednesday, and Corey Dillon is up next.

It's definitely contingent on an extension, I would think.

I definitely do not consider Hunt or Irons as franchise caliber backs. I would take Willis over them anyday.

What's wrong with McGahee to make them want to trade him?

Exactly. I think McGahee is better than any back we coudl have gotten in the 2nd round. Hes still young enough also that its not like we are trading all this away for someone whose ran into the ground already.

If true, the Bills probably got as good of value as they were going to get so good move, but I don't know where Baltimore is going to get the money to sign him long term

What I really should have said is backs that we could get 5 years out of not 1 like Willis.

He doesn't want to play in Buffalo. Also, he didn't know the plays when he was on the field. A coach had to relay the play just to him because he had no clue when it was called in the huddle. Most likely because he didn't care to be there. THe rest of the team wanted him gone.

Very good deal for the Ravens. He is definately an upgrade over what they had last year. Plus a 2nd rounder isn't to much to pay for this guy as he is pretty young still.

Damn, that would have been a hell of a deal for the browns. Instead we get the cast off (Jamal Lewis). Typical.

I'm ecstatic about this trade. He's definitely better than anything we would've gotten in the 2nd and is a proven commodity. The guy underachieved in Buff, but I'm confident that will be chalked up to him just not liking to play in a small market, cold weather fan base. Baltimore will allow him to be more in the lime light and play with guys from the U he looks up to like Reed and Ray Lewis who will hopefully motivate him. If nothing else he's got tons of talent.

If this is true, it's a great trade. McGahee would not get the money he wanted after this year in Buffalo. Getting a 2nd Rd pick plus a 5th or 6th is very good value. Maybe the Bills can package a 1st and 2nd to get AD?? INteresting.

I don't know. He only didn't know the playbook, said the team should be moved, dissed the fans, alienated his team mates, "forgot" it was 4th down a critical play, and ran without effort in most games. Pick one.

good move on the Bills behalf. Willis was a cancer within the Bills organization and he needed to leave. He wasnt happy and neither werre th Bills with him. Personally I like the way Marv is building this team. He is building it with class and character. That will win you much more games than attitude will. And it showed as the season went along. Buffalo isnt losing alot out of this deal, they lost about 900 yards and 4 td's i believe, so no biggy, that production can be replaced by a back up easily. I hope Buffalo gets another 2nd round pick, however its probably for a 3rd. either way this benefits the Bills more so than the Ravens! The Ravens just pick up another player to whom they can keep talking about to scare off opponents...now with the "self proclaimed" best RB in the league.
