reddogblitz Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 For sure. But I think Rex without Rex strongly advocating for him, he probably wouldn't have even been on the Bills' radar. I give most of the credit to Doug Whaley. Since he has been GM he has been tenacious about finding us the scarce resource, which is QB. 3years ago he picked EJ in round 1. 2 years ago he signed Kyle Orton. Last year he brought in Hotrod and Cassel. I look for him to do something this off season as well. lets see how the draft shakes out and go from there.. no one else will be signing him thats for sure (and that tells you something right there) I doubt that very seriously. I suspect some team will pick him up.

I just always thought that it was Rex who pushed for TT because he tried to get him while he was with the Jets. I guess we won't know. Dareus and Sammy are the two best players on the roster in my mind. But McCoy is right up there. Hopefully they're all healthy for the whole season this year and still making it hard to say.
YoloinOhio Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) @profootballtalk Percy Harvin "definitely" playing in 2016, and teams are interested http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2386818 The Bills, who signed Harvin a year ago, have a pending offer. Other teams have made offers as well. Harvin has yet to decide what hell do. According to the source, Harvin knows this is his last opportunity to have a major impact in the NFL. As a result, hes looking for the right situation. That could be code for Harvin wanting to play with the best possible quarterback that he can, in a situation where hed be at or close to the top of the depth chart. In Buffalo, Harvin would be No. 2 at the very best, catching passes from a quarterback who, while good, isnt a franchise-level passer. Edited March 30, 2016 by YoloinOhio

Jamie Nails Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Awesome. Reading between the lines: he's a goner
dave mcbride Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Meh ... I don't think he brings all that much to the table. he is better than a guy off of the street, of course, and the Bills are ridiculously thin at the position. but he's no savior.
John from Riverside Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 He cost too much last year....if he wants even a fraction of that I dont want him
26CornerBlitz Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 @viccarucci Per a source close to the situation, as reported first by PFT, WR Percy Harvin "definitely playing" in 2016. Talking to "a few clubs."
BADOLBILZ Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 @profootballtalk Percy Harvin "definitely" playing in 2016, and teams are interested http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2386818 Weird, mailed-in take by Florio. Where is Percy going to have a chance to be more than a teams #2 WR as well as play with a better QB than Tyrod? Teams with good QB's aren't this far into the offseason without any good WR's. Also........is the only question really where and when he will sign? Seems like the biggest question is for how much?
Fan in Chicago Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 @profootballtalk Percy Harvin "definitely" playing in 2016, and teams are interested http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2386818 Can Florio or any other person look into their crystal ball and predict how many games he will play? In Harvin's case, history is a very good predictor of future success, or lack thereof.
GunnerBill Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) This still going? I just hope we are not missing out on other dust settle guys while we await an answer from the mighty Percy Harvin who is just so darn good he might be on his 4th team in 3 seasons. Pull the offer, move on, go find some role players for linebacker depth. Edited March 30, 2016 by GunnerBill

CommonCents Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Hurt... Retired for a day.... Back again to sign another contract.... He has a nice upside but with his nagging injuries and now his want too is in question...no thanks.
FLFan Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Yep...its money No doubt it is about money. He was featured in the offense and before he was injured was putting up good numbers. I would take him back on the right deal as he adds a dimension they lack, but there is too much doubt about his ability to stay healthy to overspend on him. The money should be heavily weighted to games played and production. If someone is willing to give him a big guarnetee, and I sort of doubt it, see ya.

I can't think of any team where he'd step in and immediately by the #1 WR. Maybe Cleveland, but only if assuming Gordon isn't there.
Peter Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 For some reason (call me foolish), I think that Percy has some loyalty to the Bills, the Pegulas, and Rex for all that they did. I have a feeling that, if he is going to play in 2016, he will play for the Bills. The only thing that concerns me about this is that Vic's "source" says he is "definitely playing." Given the recent history of Vic's sources, this probably means that he is about to submit his retirement papers. Just joking Vic. I like you, but you do have a source (maybe not this one) who has given you some bad information since you came back to Buffalo.

As far as I know he was the only reporter to say that. Guessing it is same source.

Seems we were supportive in public but who knows if the organization was united in that front in private or with Percy. Something as inconsequential as a skeptical trainer or comment from a teammate could make it a tough road and we just wouldn't know. It does seem the people that matter are pro-Percy though.

To add to the New England comment, maybe he could put up video game numbers in New Orleans? Would be the number one for a good qb in a passing scheme producing 5k yards a year
