Buffalobills.com's Chris Brown suggests Dolphins QB Tyler Thigpen could be a trade target for the Bills.
Thigpen rumors are making the rounds after Chad Pennington suggested he wanted to return to Miami. Brown believes it's a good fit due to Thigpen's history with Chan Gailey and his improvisational skills behind a poor line. It's one thing to put Thigpen in the pistol spread for six weeks in a lost season and quite another to trust him as the starter in the elements at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

i think you are getting confused with third sting. He is in fact no less than a third string, and no more at best than a backup- so yes-in logical land he is worth about a 5th.
 
I would settle with a 4th or 5th round pick for Thigpen. Sounds fair game.
 
I'd ask for a second :-)

Hey, the Bills need a starter and Thigpen is a starter in this league, at least for the Bills and Chiefs! Who're the Bills gonna get for a second? Michael Vick?? Tim Tebow? Colt McCoy? Thigpen maybe worth a second for them and I'd politely ask for a second.

you will not so politely get rejected. Unless we use that nifty force trade button. Damn it , i forgot this isnt madden!
 
Hey, I kinda like Thigpen. He showed me a good arm. He can drive the team. He escapes pressure well. He makes good decisions, except for that ill-advised throw to Ted Ginn. He's a keeper as a backup here.

I think they'd go for a third. Chan loves qbs like Thigpen and Fiedler and Neil O'Donnell.
 
I'd rather trade them White than Thigpen. Thigpen has at least shown he has some upside. However, I just don't see our FO making a trade to help one of our division rivals.
 
You guys would settler for a 5th round pick from a division rival for Thigpen? No way! If the Bills want him, they need to cough up a 3rd or 4th round pick. We sent our 5th round pick to the Chiefs for him and we sure as heck are not going to just hand him to the Bills for a 5th round pick. If that were to happen, Miami would have just been the middle party in a Chiefs/Bills trade. The pick we sent is just a few picks lower then what we would get from the Bills.

My personal feelings? Don't trade Thigpen at all. He is still young, has starting experience and while he may not be a great option as a full time starter, we would feel comfortable if he had to step in for an injured Henne. I do like the idea of Pennington coming back to be Henne's backup for next season, but I don't want to ship Thigpen away for that reason alone. Let's be realistic here, Pennington is going to be 34 when the season starts and is coming off another major injury. He may not have many playing years left, and in fact 2010 could be it, especially if there is a lockout in 2011.

If the team really is interested in bringing Pennington back for 2010, then they seriously need to look at moving Pat White to another position. Make him put some weight on like the Browns made Josh Cribbs do and try to mold him in that form as a kick returner/wide receiver.

Thigpen is more valuable as a backup in Miami then he would be to ship him to a division rival for a 5th round pick. If the Bills offer a 3rd or MAYBE a 4th round pick then you need to consider trading him. Anything less and no deal.
