ABOUT TIME!!!! Great move!

Great move for whom, SE? Seahawk? Bills? Both?

Who do the Bills get in return?

Great deal for everyone involved. Marshawn wanted out, and wasn't being utilized with Spiller and Fred Jackson in the lineup. The Bills get our 4th round pick in 2011, and a conditional pick in 2012. The Seahawks get a physical North-South back with a lot of talent. LenDale White didn't pan out and Julius wasn't getting it done. Marshawn compliments a small, shifty back like Forsett perfectly... especially since they have all the experience playing together at Cal.

That sounds good to go. Most trades end up being one-sided (though the Herschel Walker trade and the whole-draft-for-Rickey-Williams were extreme). It's good to see one that helps BOTH teams involved.

I too am pretty excited to have a decent RB for the first time since Alexander left, hopefully it will take some pressure off our passing game, our offense has been miserable so pretty much anything helps at this point.

Yep. It'll definitely help in the redzone. We're do well driving the ball down the field, but our RZ efficiency is horrible. Can't finish the drive. That's all Lynch does. Beast Mode baby!
