Rubes

Pretty much all of my self-respect.

Peter Schrager @PSchrags Anquan Boldin is signing with the Buffalo Bills this afternoon. 1 year deal. @gmfb @nflnetwork @NFLonFOX

Seriously, can we just close this thread or rename it?

This is cool.

I'm keeping my expectations tempered, particularly because of the defensive backfield and QB play. But I will say, the front 7 is shaping up nicely, and one thing I really like about the offense is the bootlegs and misdirections. That's one thing I've always thought TT excels at. More, please.

As always, so gracious for these reports.

One of the things I most look forward to every year. Great job as always, Rastro!

This, and only this.

That's the first thing I thought of...

Clearly, he's looking for more money, or some team other than the Bills.

Awesome stuff. Thanks for posting!

Yes, there was a whole story about it in the Buff News yesterday, as above. Then again, it's far too early to tell for sure.

BOOM

You guys need to go back and look at this old thread.

Getting very interesting...

I'm with you, but it's tough not to get a little excited now...

Time for some F5, baby.

This isn't a prove-it kind of player, and he's currently the most desirable WR on the market in a league where even average WRs get crazy money on the open market. He can pretty much choose where he wants to go, so he's probably going to consider: where will I get the most catches? who has the best QB? who will give me the most money for the most years? He will not come at a bargain-basement price, that's for sure.

Ignoring the entire issue of comp picks for a moment, do we want Maclin or not?

Matthew Fairburn @MatthewFairburn LeSean McCoy said "don't be surprised" if Jeremy Maclin ends up with Buffalo Bills. McCoy's been recruiting him. Jay Skurski @JaySkurski LeSean McCoy says "don't be surprised" if Jeremy Maclin signs with the #Bills but that "a lot needs to happen." He's recruiting him hard. Matthew Fairburn @MatthewFairburn Tyrod Taylor said he's going to get Jeremy Maclin's phone number from LeSean McCoy and join the recruiting effort.

With our injury history at WR, I certainly wouldn't mind if he was a Bill. What would be interesting to me is to see what kind of deal the new front office would offer, to see if things have changed at OBD. I'd like to see a two-year deal that doesn't prevent us from re-signing Sammy.

Love this thread!

But that's not how it's done in the NFL these days. That's what I'm told, at least.

Sweet! I'll be cashing that one in soon enough. I have far too many opinions on this team.
