The Ravens and Bills agreed to a trade Thursday that will send running back Willis McGahee to Baltimore in exchange for the team's third and seventh-round picks in this year's draft, along with the Ravens' third-round pick in 2008, league sources tell ESPN.com's Michael Smith.

The Ravens may have lost Lewis and Thomas, but this trade means they remain a major force.

Great deal for the Ravens. I'm surprised the Bills settled for less than a first rounder.

Dayum! My Jints were interested in him to replace Tiki. Oh well...

Too much to give up for someone who was never the same after his Fiesta Bowl injury.

You've got to wonder where the Bills are headed...

I hate the Ravens but this is a great trade for them. Damn you, Baltimore.

I guess I have to look forward to him rushing for 300 yds a game against my lowly Browns.

Now they just need to find a QB.

I think 300 is a low ball estimate

If the Bills are smart, they'll trade up to Cleveland's spot and grab Adrian Peterson. If they stand pat at #12, another team that needs a RB (like the Giants) might just leap-frog them and grab Marshawn Lynch.

On the other hand, they just might be building their offense around the gridiron stylings of Anthony Thomas, J.P. Losman and Peerless Price.

Let's just dub them the "anti-triplets"

You forgot the sarcasm tag.

No sarcasm, they play in my team's division and I know they are no joke. Even with an aging QB.

McGahee got a bunch of touches inside the 5 and almost never scored. This is why Buffalo wanted to move him, imo.

I don't know how much was him and how much was the line. the ravens' o-line is not the same anymore either, though.

O-Line first.

Charlie Frye will be okay for now but if they don't build a solid line, they won't ever do anything positive.

Who in the hell is the Ravens' GM, Rick Spielman? Dave Wannstedt?
