Gilmore coming of a season ending shoulder injury; Watson off a torn Achilles; Williams off a close to microfracture knee surgery. I think they are very interested now.

Wow... that is ugly. They can't catch a break at tight end. I change my stance, they should go for it. Especially considering how weak their WR core is.

i don't think he wants to play all that much - that and he doesn't want to go through camp.

guys made good money, i hope he is happy and i hope he can retire for the sake of his body.

 

if he signs with the bills, he sucks. he never gets open and we wasted money on someone who gets hurt all the time.

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

He wants to be able to start and play for a contender

He just wants money. His team of choice is actually Jacksonville but they haven't been in the game. He loved his Bills visit but they aren't close on numbers.

I'm curious... do you get the impression from these visits/offers that the front office has taken the stance "probably not going after it hard this year but if we stumble into a couple real value signings then we will see what happens"

That's exactly how it seems. It worked with Hodges.

They already have Gronk and Allen with no need for him.

Or they are just making a concerted effort to not give out contracts they will later regret?

If you are worried about regretting it you shouldn't offer it. That's kind of NoSaint's point. They are taking an approach of, "We could use ____ at the right price." They are presenting offers below market value in hopes of getting those guys inexpensively. If they can't get it done at their number they aren't going to do it. It worked with Hodges, Maclin got a better offer and Barnidge is still out there. I think that this is an approach we can get use done to see from this regime.

.....sounds like he's resting in the bushes waiting for someone to come along with a checkbook number that meets his demands.....

 

Free agent TE Gary Barnidge said on Thursday he's yet to hear from the Ravens.

 

"They know who to contact, who to call," Barnidge said. "I just know we haven’t heard anything yet, which is fine. I’m in no hurry. I’m staying in shape. I’ll be ready when that call comes, so I’m in no rush right now." Barnidge's market hasn't developed after quickly fielding calls from the Bills, Jaguars, Broncos, and Panthers after his release from the Browns. The Ravens have a clear need at tight end, but likely want to see how Ben Watson (Achilles) looks first.
