MiltonWaddams Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Geezus...another thread taken over by non sense. Man, since the board merger, its impossible to have a thread stay on topic and impossible to keep up with it unless you have time to read 20+ pages everytime and sift through influx of doom and gloom, everything the Bills do is wrong, we need to be like Cleveland, we need to be like NE, Whaley is the worst, TT will doom us no matter what. I mean the thread can be about a non Bills player/topic and it will go down the same stupid paths. It can be about a kicker, ex player, a player rumored to be available via trade, a possible scenario between two teams not involving the bills...doesnt matter, all those same narratives show up EVERY time. Getting hard to be around here right now and what should be an exciting time of year. I mean, I am starting to miss the "Ralph is Cheap" people its so bad around here right now. So rather than sift through all the nonsense, can someone just clarify if Holmes has been confirmed to have signed, confirmed he wont be signing here, or if its still undecided? I would appreciate it...thanks in advance. It must have been hell at BBMB. It sure feels like they've transported the flame over here.
long suffering bills fan Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 For what it's worth, on his Wikipedia page, it show Buffalo bills 2017 -.
Dr. Who Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 For what it's worth, on his Wikipedia page, it show Buffalo bills 2017 -. Well, that would be a nice signing if it happens. I'm going to remain skeptical for now.
Alphadawg7 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 It must have been hell at BBMB. It sure feels like they've transported the flame over here. This place had plenty of it prior...but its like a Tsunami now of just doom in every thread no matter the topic and it never once stay on topic. We could talk about an intern in the media department and it would go 20+ pages of TT sucks, Whaley Sucks, everything we do is wrong, we should be like the Browns, etc.
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Thank you Yolo, appreciate it. I would actually really like this signing, so hoping it becomes official. This is what Whaley has been one of the best at in the NFL as GM, finding really good value in FA, and I think this kid will prove to be the kind of value we got in guys like MG, Lorenzo, etc. ....Bflo reportedly offered him 3 years, $4.5 mil but guaranteed money is not revealed.....played under 1 year, $2 mil deal with Raiders last year with $750K guaranteed....but he ended up earning the full $2 mil....OBD may have to sweeten the pot a bit................

Thanks again! Hoping we get this done...wont be a doomsday scenario if we don't, but I think this kid has a lot of potential to out play his contract here.

Hoping we get this done...wont be a doomsday scenario if we don't, but I think this kid has a lot of potential to out play his contract here. ....OBD rented Hunter for $556K and let 'em walk.....so I assume they weren't thrilled, otherwise they would have re-signed him.....this kid seems to have a bigger upside and he's only worth $1 mil/yr more?..paid Goodwin $850K in an astonishing injury free season.....bad more to let 'em escape IMO...........

John from Riverside Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Thanks again! Hoping we get this done...wont be a doomsday scenario if we don't, but I think this kid has a lot of potential to out play his contract here. I like him....hope this one works out
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 It must have been hell at BBMB. It sure feels like they've transported the flame over here. ....as soon as BBMB lowered "sign up standards" to PG-13 and Fisher-Price went wi-fi nationwide in day care centers, it went to hell in a nanosecond...............
3rdand12 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Alpha - he is visiting today but hasn't signed yet (that we know of) I have come around to wanting this player signed. Fill a need at WR with some upside beyond his previous work.
baskingridgebillsfan Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 any update today ? I would like this to happen
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 any update today ? I would like this to happen ....nope.....I'm thinking 3 year, $4.5 mil (guaranteed $$ not disclosed) is light.....Raiders guaranteed him $750k in 2016 but he earned the full $2 mil of his one year deal......Jesus, we're not talking Jeffreys money here.....UNLESS....the WR core is already SOLID (cough)..............
Paup 1995MVP Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 ....nope.....I'm thinking 3 year, $4.5 mil (guaranteed $$ not disclosed) is light.....Raiders guaranteed him $750k in 2016 but he earned the full $2 mil of his one year deal......Jesus, we're not talking Jeffreys money here.....UNLESS....the WR core is already SOLID (cough).............. Guaranteed was in the low 2's. If Woods got 4 years 34 mill. Why would Holmes sign for 3 and 4.5 mill? He is a better receiver than that.
Jamie Nails Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Pretty sure he'll be leaving town without a contract. That's the MO. Bills bring in or interested in X. 5 mins later, tweet announcing other team has sign that player.
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) So we are looking at Sammy and a handfull of interchangeable #5 WRs? I would have rather just used the money Tyrod saved us to bring back Woods move him to the slot and then just draft an outside guy at 10. Tyrod probably took a pay cut figuring the Bills were going to give him more weapons this year. So far we have less. We certainly didn't start with a ton and now what we had, looks good.

K-9 Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 I like him....hope this one works out How upset will the rest of your family be if the Raiders lose Holmes, John? That's the true barometer for me.
turbo044 Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Davis picked at 1-10 will make the wr group look a lot better

Another doom and gloom post from you, how novel
Eric Moulds on my A** Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 The anticipation that this fiasco built has tricked me into thinking this is Jerry Rice we're waiting for. I mean it, I'm on pins and needles over here for Holmes. He's alright, a candidate for WR3 and a solid special teams contributer. But I'm on edge... MMMAAANNNGG
