Analysis: Could The Packers Trade For Marshawn Lynch?

PrintIt's been speculated that another possible trade partner for the Green Bay Packers might be the Buffalo Bills, who currently have former Pro Bowl RB Marshawn Lynch listed third on their depth chart. Lynch was officially disgruntled this offseason after the Bills selected RB C.J. Spiller in the 1st round last April, and it was reported that he wanted a trade.
When QB Aaron Rodgers was asked about a possible trade, the Journal-Sentinel reported that he said to "bring him on." Despite this, and other trade rumors floated over the past few months, it's also been reported that the Bills are not making Lynch available in a trade. Greg Bedard pointed out that the Bills reportedly turned down an offer of a 3rd round pick for Lynch a while back, and GM Ted Thompson isn't likely to surrender a pick that high. He's also had a couple brushes with the law that earned him a three game suspension during 2009. The Bills have remained high on Lynch and have named him their starting running back, actually one of their three starting running backs (although he's technically not a starter). He's also been battling an ankle injury recently, though he played in their season opener.
During the rare times I've watched a Bills game, I haven't been all that impressed with him. Though that could be due to the Bills offensive line. They've maintained good run blocking rankings at Football Outsiders, but they looked awful the last time I saw them play against the Packers and they stunk last week too. He's always been a good receiver which was something I pointed out when I suggested the Packers draft Lynch with their 1st round pick in 2007. He certainly might run a lot better if he played alongside Rodgers instead of QB Trent Edwards.
The likelihood of a trade for Lynch is pretty low. Greg Bedard tweeted that the chances are about 1%. The combination of the Bills reluctance to trade him, plus the likely high trade demands, make it very unlikely.

Lynch
I read this morning that he was available for a mid round pick. Don’t know who wrote it, but it seems to not be the case from other things I’ve read this evening. I don’t know that I would give a 3rd for him… A 5th absolutely, a 4th probably, but I’ll draw my line at that. AJ Hawk would be a possibility, except for the 10M he is scheduled to make next year.
Considering these facts, I guess I would take a pass on Lynch for now… Give BJ a few weeks to see how he performs and is able to step up to his new respsonsibilities. If he does… Great! If not… Lets revisit this discussion at the end of the month.
Lynch would be the best, absolute BEST, possible scenario! In light of the devastating loss of Grant, I think the Packers should try and get him. Being a Cal guy, I know Lynch. Almost as well as I know Rodgers. Having a Cal QB, and a Cal RB, would be too awesome! Besides, Lynch has not played well in Buffalo because Trent Edwards is a Stanfurd alum! Stanford (Stanfurd) is the arch enemy of Cal. So it is only natural that Lynch has struggled. Having seen this guy play in person, trust me, he is a beast. He just needs a good home. Please TT, get us Lynch!

Lynch, when he enters BEAST MODE in the red zone would be great to have. Remember that the Packers almost drafted him and was look highly upon by the team. All he’s doing in Beefalo is collecting dust while CJ Spiller and Fred Jackson pound the ground as the whole team tries to not take last place. Im not worried about him getting into trouble, I think the area and communtity do a good job of keeping players in line. That is unless they go to Wisconsin Dells or Houston for rape and drugs.
Here's a Tip
because I like Packers fans. The Broncos just released Andre Brown in order to bring in Laurence Maroney. This is significant because Brown has lots of talent and if he can be healthy (which he should be), he could be a great asset for you. As a devout Broncos fans, I know Brown is a better human being than Marshawn Lynch by far and may net similarly effective results. I just think the Pack can do better than Lynch. In a town where fans and players interact with each other almost daily (or so I’m told), having Lynch becomes risky as he often engaged in riotous behavior away from the field, such as hitting a lady in his vehicle on a rainy night.

If...
Lynch is inactive on Sunday, then most likely the Packers have completed (or are close to completing) a trade with Buffalo.
If he’s active, I doubt anything will happen this week, if at all.
In my opinion, I think they’ll give Jackson a couple of weeks. in the meantime, ANOTHER team will step in and make a trade for him. That’d be the Packers luck LOL
Lynch on a contending team
Could potentially improve dramatically. But I wouldn’t want to give up much for him. Interesting.
never happen
We all know that TT will never give up one of his coveted mid-round draft picks or get anyone that has to be paid real money. He will continue to slink around other teams dumpsters and try to pick up the garbage they discard for league minimum.
Well
We were happy for the most part with Grant. Grant was no AP. We don’t need an AP; would it be nice? Sure. If all we need is a 1200 yard runner, that’s 75 yards per game. Anyone half decent (of which I think Jackson qualifies) can get that. Why dump draft picks and unnecessary money on a sexy player when a dumpster dive would work?
Remember, Grant was a dumpster dive.
Technically Woodson was a dumpster dive as well.

by juggernaut400 on Sep 16, 2010 10:20 AM CDT up reply actions
Not really. He was paid WAY too much to be a dumpster dive. He was a high risk acquisition though…
If Woodson’s price was lower, I think a lot more teams would have taken a chance on him.
Nobody wanted Woodson to play CB anymore either.
They wanted him as a Safety and Wood was adament about playing CB.
We won’t trade for him but I think it’d be well worth it if we did. Not only does he have elite type athleticism as a runner, he’s also very, very good as a receiver out of the backfield. I think having a guy like him out of the backfield could go a long ways for Rodgers. I know he’s had attitude issues in the past but I haven’t heard of him acting up lately, and a change of scenery may help revive his career a bit.
I know it won’t happen but one can dream right?
He could be a HUGE steal at this point. I think his value is about as low as it can get and despite falling to third “starter” he’s been a model citizen. Seems like Buffalo fans still like him, remember they shipped off McGahee for Lynch so they were really high on him and all the potential is there.
I hope TT makes the move for someone. I think he’s got something up his sleeve. This other guy was totally just a roster body.
Man, I sure hope he does but something is telling me he doesn’t have anything in plan. I think we’ll just end up sticking with Jackson, Kuhn, and Nance which is disappointing to me.

but it would be nice. I’d like to see what Dimitri brings. He was a fan favorite in Atlanta, but was burried behind some other good RB’s.

Tyrell Sutton. (the guy from Northwestern a few years back). Fans wanted to see him do wel, but ultimately didn’t do much – or at least hasn’t yet. Is he still in the league?
by gern blanston on Sep 16, 2010 1:27 PM CDT up reply actions
Yes
He’s in Carolina. Had a 7-8 YPC average, but it was based on few total carries obviously. He’s also burried on a roster deep at the RB position. Deangelo Williams, Jonathon Stewart.

you beat me to it!!! Just cause us fans liked him doesn’t mean he’s going to make for a great runner. He was on their practice squad for a reason so I don’t have too high of expectations. Maybe something happens but honestly its not a move to get excited about in my book.
Good God
Now I feel attacked when I’m trying to be as optimistic as I possibly can be!

-Vince Lombardi
The Bills are the Oakland Raiders-East
Stubborn as hell, with championship delusions. Minimal chance they trade Lynch to anybody.
I wouldn’t say they are championship delusional, but they are really stubborn. How can you deny a 3rd Round pick in the offseason for your 3rd Down RB? Especially if you aren’t even going to use him! (See Week 1 vs Miami)
"No player is greater than a team."
-Vince Lombardi
Do you think TT would've traded B-Jack for a 3rd rounder before the season started?
If not, there’s your answer.
Different scenario though
Buffalo is rebuilding and has tremendous depth at the HB position, along with having the dynamic CJ Spiller.
Green Bay is making a Superbowl run and is very thin at the HB position, so Jackson would and will be making more contributions to his team as opposed to Lynch to Buffalo.
"No player is greater than a team."
-Vince Lombardi
Could've easily kept Lumpkin
And the reason we’re thin is because TT thought we’d be ok there. So there would’ve been a greater likelihood of trading one of them if someone offered.
I agree we should have kept Lumpkin. I’m not arguing that. No way. I think TT kept Hall for ST purposes, and that’s it. Not exactly sure. He simply took a risk, and it backfired. However, we have to look past that.
"No player is greater than a team."
-Vince Lombardi
Right, I'm just saying
I don’t fault them for not trading Lynch in the offseason if we wouldn’t trade Jackson for the same terms, especially knowing that we’d probably be going light on RB in the season. Obviously nobody offered, but I don’t think any of us would take that deal for Jackson.
I guess everyone has it bad for Lynch, I’d like to give Jackson and Sputnik a chance before I start mortgaging the future. This team is not built for SB or bust. The Vikings are built for SB or bust. This team is built for several years of SB runs, to keep that momentum going you can’t be mortgaging future picks like the Vikings would be doing right now if AP went down.
A mid round pick isn't mortgaging the future
It’s expensive, yes…but it’s not something that will break the bank or have the Pack paying for years either. Actually it would be strikingly similar to the type of picks given up to get Morgan Burrnett or CM3. I don’t think those trades really mortgaged our future any.
by PackApologist on Sep 16, 2010 2:06 PM CDT up reply actions
True.
I’m just not sold on Lynch. Really not.
I get that
Underachieving players are always going to be a risk…doubly so when they appear to be head cases as well. It would be nice to see a bit more playmaking potential out of our RB position. Despite being a model passing attack, the offense hums so much better when we have a RB hitting the hole and making plays.
by PackApologist on Sep 16, 2010 2:14 PM CDT up reply actions
Apparently it would take a 2nd rd pick to get Lynch now.
Since they turned down a 3rd in the offseason! Don’t know for sure what they want, but it seems a 3rd didn’t cut it. Personally I might give a 4th, but I would draw the line at that… 3rd and especially 2nd is too rich for me!
depends
I think a player for player trade would have to depend significantly upon the player Buffalo would want in return. For argument’s sake, how about Jason Spitz for Lynch, plus a 6th rounder? Anyone take that?

hawk for lynch
i don’t even want lynch as he’s a mental-case, but if we aren’t using hawk much and he walks next year for nothing that will be two years in a row a valuable asset turns into nothing (kampman).
harsh judgment from little evidence
I just don’t think such a conclusion is justified. He got into a little trouble. Pretty mild by NFL standards, I’d say. My observation (of Cal and since Cal is that DeSean Jackson is a much bigger knucklehead than Marshawn Lynch, both on and off the field, but knucklehead doesn’t mean evil or crazy, and I’m mostly concerned with on-field performance anyway.
Good news on the headcase
There are guys on the team that could help straighten him out and he would have something to prove. Usually guys who have some problems like that tend to get better when they come on teams who have an established structure and leaders on the team willing to take them under their wing. I think we could furnish that.

i wouldn't say lynch is jolly
but there are red flags. i mean, who hits somebody with their vehicle and drives away. yes the person he hit was drunk and in the street, but come on, stop and see if that person is alright. a normal person would have at least called and called the police or 911, unless there was something in his car he didn’t want the the police to find.
people might want to look at what pitt does with malcontents. they got rid of super bowl mvp wr holmes, because he’s a tool and big ben got stripped of the captain status and was told that he might not even get his job back after his suspension——as tomlin put it. that’s why i’m hoping that the dixon kid leads the steelers to a 4-0 record and ben sits the pines. next year, pitt can trade him to cleveland for a #1 pick———remember big ben grew-up in ohio and played college in the state. perfect for pitt.
pitt is a class act organization that gets rid of “trouble makers” no matter their status on the team. we’re talking about bringing in 1 (lynch) and resigning 1 (jolly) next year.
since pitt has actually won more super bowls than any other team——that would be a good franchise to emulate.
my longest post ever——-sorry——- i need a nap now.
Pitt ain't perfect
It’s a far cry from “getting rid” of a malcontent to stripping a sociopath of his captain status. Pittsburgh made football decisions, all dressed up as ethical ones. If they really believed in the standards you attribute to them, Big Ben would be history.
The story with Lynch and the hit and run was that he had no idea he’d it her. Or at least that was his story. So he didn’t stop to see if she was OK, because he didn’t know he’d hit her. Apparently it was a big storm and he never saw her. Since he never got charged, my guess is the cops couldn’t find any evidence that he’d hit her either. That doesn’t mean he didn’t – just that it’s not necessarily evidence of bad character.
actually
he was given a citation for the incident.
if you want to buy that story that he didn’t know he hit a PERSON——that’s your opinion, not mine.
to bolster my theory——
what was lynch suspended for in 2009?
that’s right, a misdemeanor weapons charge, meaning he was in possession of a gun that wasn’t licensed, so by using logic or my opinion——he didn’t stop because he might have had another unlicensed gun in the vehicle——just speculation, of course.
oops!!
almost forgot, the weapon was loaded and they found majuana in the vehicle as well.
paging johnny jolly, mr. jolly we “might” bring in another outstanding american citizen for you to “hang” with next year.
Seriously?
Holmes had numberous problems prior to his being dealt! And Ben had TWO (2), major rape allegations before they actually took any action w/ him! Jolly had not been suspended until this season and he got a stiff penalty. Whether he comes back is anyones guess, though my hunch is he will be back if he meets all conditions of his suspension and court hearing. Lynch seems much less the ignoramous than Holmes was… And he is not even likely to become a Packer!!!
Lose, Fail, Poor case you built!!!
allegations
Face facts… Ben had nonconsensual sex w/ 2 women!!! He basically raped them and you damn well know it!!! Why didn’t Pitts do anything the first time? He’s the franchise so they let him slide until he did it AGAIN! And while your case against Lynch has some merit he is still no worse than Holmes and he isn’t even likely to become a Packer! So exaclty what is your complaint? Or are just being the A$$ again?!!!
Face facts… Ben had nonconsensual sex w/ 2 women!!! He basically raped them and you damn well know it!!!
if those were truly the facts. big ben would be in prison by now.
maybe you should watch some LA Law to see how the legal system works. just a suggestion.
How many rape/sexual assault charges are ever convicted?
Don’t have the stats but EVERYONE, except you it seems, knows they are extremely difficult to prosecute!!!
And you damn well know it.
Ben had nonconsensual sex w/ 2 women!!!
so did brandon underwood——“allegedly”
difference being
The women is Underwoods case have already proven that they’re LIARS!!! The ones in Bens case… Make that CASES… have not been proven to be money grubbing, story changing, street whores!!!
look up lnch's legal issues
than tell me if you think he’s packer material.
sorry stroh
you should no better to show up to a gun fight holding a toothpick.
Lose, Fail, Poor case you built!!!
actually my case in not bringing in lynch is “air tight”.
i will allow you to retract the above statement.
wait——-your silence is proof enough.no need.
Reach! Fail!
You might be using some logic, but more than anything else your jumping to 2 very large conclusions w/ NO evidence!!! first that he is likely to become a Packer, otherwise what are you complaining about? and second that he had a gun in the car. Seems you’ve already declared him guilty by your assinine system of being judge, jury and prosecution all in one..
Reach and Fail!!!
you aren't smart
he already plead guilty to a misdemeanor gun charge.
he declared HIMSELF guilty. wow you are slow.
But your declaring that he had one in the car!!!
Pure speculation… Jumping to conclusions… Poor! Reach!! Fail!!!
actually
i stated it was speculation and my opinion. better than your backpeddling.
do you want lynch on your team? still haven’t answered yet.
who wants this guy to be a packer?
“3 days after his 2009 pro bowl appearance, Lynch was arrested on feb.11th in culver city ca.. Lynch and 2 other companions were sitting in a running 2006 mercedez-benz when police approached, after smelling marjiuana, the police searched the car and discovered a LOADED GUN that was determined to belong to Lynch.
he was released the same day after posting $35,000 bail. Lynch’s felony charge was reduced to 3 misdemeanors, and no drug charges were filed. on march 5th, Lynch PLEAD GUILTY to a single misdemeanor gun charge and was sentenced to 3 years probation and 80 hours of community service. he also agree to submit to police searches at any time"
johnny jolly———we found your roomate(cell-mate)
...and?
What has he done since then? So yeah he screwed up but do you have evidence that he hasn’t changed since then? I’ll still take him for the right price.
He did his time and he’s been agood since then. Is there a risk? Sure but honestly there is AS big a risk or more of trying to survive the season with Jackson as our only back. Its almost a guarantee he gets hurt. Its happened every year and then what do we have?
point being
thompson would never take a chance an a thug like lynch, just because you would doesn’t make it right.
we also signed
the russian kid——in thompson we trust right?
lets
bring-in pac-man, he would help our depth at cb, take care of the return game as well. he hasn’t done anything in awhile. he must be changed person.
make the deals ted, so we can truly be called a “football institution”
moral to the story
keep the trash out of green bay.
Sure
Because Ahman Green never had any run ins with the law while here in GB (domestic disputes on a regular occasion). Nick Barnett has also had his run ins with the law as well (an assault charge in Appleton if I remember correctly). Moral of the story is that every franchise had a few bad apples running around.
Or put it another way hermit. I have had the good fortune to get to know the Chaplin for the Packers. He also happens to be one of the Chaplins for the local jail. He routinely states in his homilies, or if you just talk to him, that the confessions of Packer players and the inmates at the jail, and the students at the college he works at, are all basically the same.

Moral of the story
This is not a cut and dry issue for the NFL. It’s messy and sticky and has to do with the facts. As a result, it’s not easy to just draw a line in the sand and yell as loud as you can that you want to keep the trash out of a town because you never know who that might exclude.
You might even cut out a Pro Bowl QB who just likes to send pictures of his junk to twenty somethings.

As a result, it’s not easy to just draw a line in the sand
i beg to differ. it seems that rodger goddell has dug a trench and dares any of the nfl players to cross.
tnk rodger for trying to keep the trash out of the nfl..
Even Goodell takes it on a case by case basis
To understand how Goodell handles things you have to understand how previous commissioners handled situations like this. Mostly the NFL waited for the courts to sort things out, and then passively disciplined players once that was done and criminal liabilities were finished. Goodell on other hand handles things quicker on the mere appearance of impropriety.
It’s a good thing to do for the NFL and protecting its brand, but it’s clear that he hasn’t drawn a line in the sand either. Rather, he looks at what the player did, his attitude about it, the facts surrounding the case, etc.
I would describe that as line in the sand, rather I would describe it as holding players and team personnel accountable and linking punishment and action closer.

oh boy, where do i start with this non-sense
well, first off——green was a “bad guy” and said so on many occasions throughout the years. he was lucky that the nfl conduct rules were pretty slack at the time. if green did those domestic violence things now, he would/should be out of the league.
i remember talking to sherman about green, afterall he lived 2 houses down from me and donatell lived next to him, i told him he should get rid of him, but mike defended him like your doing with lynch———-since we are name dropping.
lastly———-are you comparing lynch with barnetts shove of a girl in the nightclub wet in appleton. lol!!!
why don’t you look up the facts on that or do you want me to post them? you’ll find out that he ended up with disorderly conduct—-not assault.
nick barnett---bad apple or not?
“early in the morning on sunday june 17th, barnett was arrested for battery after an altercation at a bar in appleton. barnett shoved a women inside the nightclub and was later seen in a heated arguement with another patron. some witnesses said he assaulted the owner, but he denied this”
barnett was released after posting a $500 dollar bond. the bar’s owner later said that the whole thing was blown out of proportion and that barnett was provoked by female fans seeking autographs."
“according to the bar owner and several bartenders, barnett and other packer players were at the bar when these fans entered, interrupting the players and hoping for autographs. when many of the players, including barnett, declined—one of the women threw a drink in barnett’s face. it was then that barnett shoved the women away and she fell to the ground.”
yep very similar to lynch’s trouble—-point taken.
this is what i get for waking up for my 2nd pee of the night——-it’s hell getting old.
hmm…one guy was getting high in his car the other assaulted someone. I think I’d rather have the guy who was getting high :-) The POINT he had was that just cause a guy makes a stupid mistake doesn’t make them someone you should automatically cast off. Talk to the person, let them share where they are at. If you trust them, you roll the dice. Barnett’s incident proves that just about everyone is ONE comment away from being pushed over the line…
hmm…one guy was getting high in his car the other assaulted someone
apparently, you don’t comprehend things either.
you forgot about the gun charge and barnett never got charged with assault.
don’t let the facts i posted get in the way of your logic.
is this that 1 comment that pushes it over the line..lol!!!!
Big Ben was never charged either…does that make him innocent?
Again, the point seemed to FLY right over your head. Seems to be common, you get caught up in your “facts” and then fail to look at real life around you. Your “facts” are old news. He’s been a model citizen over there despite having his job taken by two guys now. Bills fans seem to still be pretty high on the guy so if they are high on him there must be something there.
Barnett assaulted a woman.
Underwood assaulted a woman.
Favre was a drunk, a womanizer, and a real punk.
Green assaulted a woman
Davenport…well we all know what he did.
The point here is that a guy can do something stupid and learn from it and be a different person. I don’t know Lynch but people I’ve talked to said he was a real good kid in college so I like to not hold people responsible for their entire lives for one bad decision.
Yeah, I'll take him
If all you have is choirboys you will likely have a losing team! At some point you do your due dilligence and roll the dice. If due dilligence checks out then you give him another chance. Over half the NFL players come from poor, crime infested slums… Been clean for 3+ years? I’ll give him a chance.
my above statement
about him having a gun in the car when he hit that women is called conjecture.
which means, a position that is unproven, but appears to be correct and has not been disproven.
seriously
you don’t comprehend things well.
People in glasshouses shouldn't throw stones
I wouldn’t challenge comprehension issues if I were you hermit. Each time I throw out a nuanced point to challenge a view you present you fly off the handle and miss the point completely.

Actually Jolly wouldn't fit the type of situation I was talking about
Koren Robinson would though.
Randy Moss’ exodus from Oakland to NE would be another.
The Cowboys practically have an allumni situation in place in order to keep players on the straight and narrow (sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t for them).
Jolly actually wouldn’t work at all since I was talking about positive contacts on the roster that already have some previous relationship with the player in question. From the reports that I’ve come across Jolly mostly kept to himself.
That would be a few key differences.

Depends on the length of contract
I watched every one of Lynch’s college games, and have followed him closely in the NFL too. I was frankly shocked when he got into trouble in Buffalo – he was a great kid at Cal. The nightclub thing seemed like a wrong-place-wrong-time accident. As I recall, he was pulling is car out in a storm and bumped her – no injury, and he didn’t even know he’d hit anyone. I could be mis-remembering, however. The bigger surprise was the 2nd incident – he had a gun in his car, right? That one seemed hugely out of character to me.
Anyway, I’d love for the Packers to add him. I think he’s basically a good guy and he’s a tremendous running back – much better than Ryan Grant. He and Rodgers know each other well. The only concern for me would be the size and length of his contract (anyone know?) but then I’m not sure how the expected 2011 lockout affects the calculation one way or the other.

Marshawn is a good human being!
This is one of the few times that I find myself irked with TT. Giving up a third round, or even a second for Marshawn would be a good deal. In today’s league, the sole running back is dead. It is now RB by committee. Bringing in Lynch would salvage the season, and also provide depth next year when Grant is healthy.
So Lynch has had some off field issues? What? A drunk women who deliberately ran in front of his car in a blinding snow storm? As a west coast guy, I see how he would have been confused to begin with in those conditions. A cops wife who accused a million dollar athlete of stealing $20 out of her purse? Total BS! Oh, the gun charge? Ever been to Oakland? Do you realize he was shot at by gangsters once in a case of mistaken identity? Only later to have the gangsters appologize to his Mom?
In all his time at Cal, he stayed level headed and out of trouble. He was a rare specimen of athletic talent. This despite the fact his rough hometown of Oakland was only a few miles away. What kept him in line? A sound program, with strong oversight and control. Buffalo is much like another poster said, the Raiders of the East. It is a highly dysfunctional program, constantly in decline and turmoil. TT better make this happen dammit! Marshawn would thrive in GB!

That is a for sure, 100% fact? Because if that is the case, Wilson is making Davis seem sane and sound minded. What franchise drafts an RB in the first round when it already has two more than capable backs?!? Times like these make me remember why I respect TT immensely. What garbage!!! However, should Lynch be put on the block, TT better make a move…
