ndirish1978 Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 I support bringing him in and letting him test drive the team to see if we could sign him an a FA. He is better than anyone on our roster not named Sammy. We paid Harvin to play for two weeks, i don't see we wouldn't pick him up
jms62 Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 $861,176 for 2 meaningless weeks on the BILLS? This has Patriots written ALL OVER IT
Chandler#81 Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 fyi, I merged this thread with the previous one and deleted the 3rd thread. We don't need another receiver who can't stay on the field.
26CornerBlitz Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 @ChrisTrapasso Whether it be now or when the new league starts, the #Bills should consider adding Michael Floyd.
KD in CA Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 I support bringing him in and letting him test drive the team to see if we could sign him an a FA. He is better than anyone on our roster not named Sammy. We paid Harvin to play for two weeks, i don't see we wouldn't pick him up I just can't see what he could accomplish in the last two weeks as a brand new guy (with a bad QB) that would make any difference. Good memories of him from ND; shame he hasn't been able to put it together in the pros.
BringBackOrton Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 I just can't see what he could accomplish in the last two weeks as a brand new guy (with a bad QB) that would make any difference. Good memories of him from ND; shame he hasn't been able to put it together in the pros. Huh? He's been a top tier #2 WR on a usual contender with two other very productive guys in John Brown and Larry Fitz.

Good memories of him from ND; shame he hasn't been able to put it together in the pros. I don't think he accomplishes much. I think it's about the only way he may decide to sign here in 2017 absent overpaying, coming in and having a little time to train with the guys. This would not be a move for this year
YoloinOhio Posted December 14, 2016 Author Posted December 14, 2016 @corryjoel Claiming Michael Floyd through waivers will cost a team $1,291,765 (3 weeks of $7.32M base salary).
Zulu Cthulhu Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 He and John Brown both disappeared this season. I really thought Floyd was going to be "the man" a few years ago, but it never translated at the NFL level. John Brown was diagnosed as having the sickle cell trait midseason, and the effects of that condition have hurt his production. He's outstanding when healthy so not really fair to lump him in with Floyd.
ndirish1978 Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 I don't think Floyd is a bad egg. I've met him a couple of times and he was always really nice. We got to sit next to his mom at a game a few years back at ND and she was such a nice lady. He has a support system around him that can pick him up from this stupid mistake. You buy low on this guy and you have a solid #2 for the next 4-5 years.
BillsGuru4 Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) If we could claim him, then convince him to sign a reasonable deal with us, I'd be ok with it. We need as much help as we can get. But if it's just for the rest of the season, any non playoff team would be foolish to claim him, considering his contract is up at seasons end.

Samwell Tarly Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 The Bills have wasted more money than this on worse ideas..... Although they'll probably never throw to him.
billsfan89 Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 Probably a sign that the locker room has soured on him. I understand that the Cards have a crowded receiving core with Fitz, Brown, and now Nelson so him getting bench for poor performance isn't a sign of anything else than he is having a down year which could be due to multiple factors (Injury, QB regression, personal issues, new system, lack of reps, ect) but getting cut in a league where depth is a sought after luxury means Floyd either asked to be cut or that he lost the locker room. If I am the Bills I steer away, I get the temptation but the Bills situation is already very combustible and adding this possibly negative locker room influence at best will only make the situation worse or only have a marginal impact.
Cash Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 John Brown was diagnosed as having the sickle cell trait midseason, and the effects of that condition have hurt his production. He's outstanding when healthy so not really fair to lump him in with Floyd. Serious question: if his problems stem from sickle-cell anemia, how can he ever get "healthy"? That's a genetic trait that he presumably has had his entire life. So what changed this year, and what would change going forward? I don't know a ton about sickle-cell. As for Michael Floyd, I'd probably be in favor of claiming him, maybe just in the hopes of getting a comp pick when he leaves in the offseason. But then again, it's not my $1.3 million paying for the hope of an extra late round pick. I don't know much about Floyd's off-field problems, other than that he was recently arrested for DUI. If memory serves, he's never had a season worthy of his draft status, but he was pretty good last year. If Floyd could get his act together and be the guy from 2015, I'd rather have him than Woods at the same money.
Not at the table Karlos Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 Claim him. Who cares about the money. It doesn't come out of our pocket. We need wrs.
C.Biscuit97 Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 Considering all the scumbags we have taken a chance on, I'd 100% bring him in. He's playing for his NFL career and he could get a marketing deal if Uber ever comes to Buffalo! But he is seriously the perfect wr we need opposite Watkins and he just killed his value.
jms62 Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 Just hope that his suspension next year doesnt conflict with the games Sammy will inevitable miss.
C.Biscuit97 Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 Just hope that his suspension next year doesnt conflict with the games Sammy will inevitable miss. Don't worry. We can always sign Percy Harvin again.
