3rdand12 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Ravens will find a way. Flacco will recon or someone else. Cut somebody. There is always a way. If the FO feels it is a need , they Will find a way. regardless of the team. I am still pleased the way he has been recruited. A double edged sword of course. But I like the enthusiasm The problem with that is not many players just want to come Buffalo, they have the longest playoff drought in three Nfl, along with the cold as well put this behind you . it's for the best now. Pegula is shifting the perceptions of Buffalo Bills and Buffalo. and if they don't like the Cold wind rain and Snow? f em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace Frog Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I'm thinking he wanted too much. With the way we've overpaid for players in the past, I'm fine with this. If he doesn't get the deal he's looking for in Baltimore and we sign him on our terms, even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FluffHead Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) From ravens beat writer: Jeremy Maclin's visit with Ravens will include meeting with some members of organization tonight. But facility visit will likely be tomorrow Ravens have done well closing deals with FAs they really wanted. They want Maclin, but so do the Bills and a few other teams as well.

Figster Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Yeah, money can always be found and $7M is perfectly reasonable for Maclin. I was hoping for $5M or so but $7M isn't an issue. My guess is that he wants to be with the Bills because of his relationships there. If they make the numbers work he will be there. I'd say they are still the favorites but not as much as they were 8 hours ago. Do you think Harbaugh lets Maclin get out of Baltimore If he really wants him? I can hear him now, gearing for another championship run, Flacco can get you the football, I know Tyrod Taylors limitations, yada, yada ,yada sigh...

Kirby Jackson Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Even for a short term deal I doubt the team wants to throw money at a player just to get them here and not play/perform.Anytime you sign someone there is an expectation that they will perform. You could have had him here, with $7M+ left under the cap and a small hit next year if you decide to let him walk. Otherwise you can keep him next year (at your discretion) for the same price as Robert Woods. It's not crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I think that the important thing to understand in all of this is it will be Maclin's decision ultimately. There are no rules as to what he has to accept or do. He can take the Bills offer right to Baltimore and say "do better" if that's the issue. If he wants he can take that back to the Bills and say "match this and I'm coming." We don't know what he wants at the moment. We can assume that he has some pretty strong relationships in Buffalo and they have the cap space. We don't know though what it is he wants.

Just think the new FO is more committed to guys that are in it for the team and not the money (well, 50/50 at least. It's usually about the money).

Hopefully the deal is still good if he does come back though and the bills don't try to give him something less. I don't think they would but could happen.
