BUF gets Marcus Stroud in trade

[jarrod2323]

The Buffalo Bills acquired three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Marcus Stroud in a trade with Jacksonville.


The deal was announced by the Bills at a press conference on Saturday.

It was not immediately clear what the Bills gave up in exchange for Stroud, a seven-year veteran who had the Jaguars' permission to seek a trade.

The move was completed after the Bills began revamping their porous defense on Friday, the first day of NFL free agency. Buffalo signed linebacker Kawika Mitchell and released veteran defensive tackle Larry Tripplett.

In another move Saturday, the Bills signed former Minnesota defensive tackle Spencer Johnson to a five-year contract.

Who did Jax get???? Stroud was one of our best defensive players.

the Bills are really focused on their defense, which is smart first the take away Mitchell from us and now they acquire Stroud, a great d-lineman.

It seems like every year there are teams giving away Vets.

Blah. Stroud has to miss 4 games anyway at the beginning of the season. I don't think he'll be much without John Henderson.
