Saint Doug Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 We need Maclin. End of Story. OBD, sign him to a 2 year, 6.5-7mil Contract. He was Signed to the chiefs for 5yr $55million deal in 2015... Only lasted 2 years there. Would you give Woods that type of money? Because that's the production (minus blocking) you'll be getting, at best.
Kirby Jackson Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 Would you give Woods that type of money? Because that's the production (minus blocking) you'll be getting, at best.Based on what? When was Woods' last 1300 yard season? Maclin had about 1100 and 8 TDs in 2015. Those 2 players aren't comparable.
Marty McFly Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 6 WR's on the final roster Watkins Maclin Zay Jones Andre Holmes Philly Brown Listenbee/Tate I can rock with this. Ive used Maclin in Madden and hes durrrrrtyyyy!!!
Coach Tuesday Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 Would you give Woods that type of money? Because that's the production (minus blocking) you'll be getting, at best. Completely different players. What are you talking about? Maclin is a speedy playmaker who keeps safeties honest. He was miscast in a horizontal KC passing offense. That signing never made any sense to me. He's nothing like Bobby Woods.

So if that's the case then why come here with Dennison installing the same type of offense?
Pbomb Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 Would you give Woods that type of money? Because that's the production (minus blocking) you'll be getting, at best.at best? Maclin had a down year last year and also missed 4 games but has out produced woods every year besides that, still almost equal production last year too. Maclin is far better than woods
C.Biscuit97 Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 Hate to be that guy but... If you are Maclin and his agent, why would you come to Buffalo? You spent 2 years with a very limited passing qb but a least you got paid a lot in your home state for a team that makes that playoffs. He has a chance at one last good payday. Why would he come to the Bills to be a number #2 option for a limited passing qb for a team that never makes the playoffs? His best bet would be to sign a year deal for a team like NO or GB.

Arguably your best friend plays there. Your WR coach is now in Buffalo. You are familiar with the HC. They have been a big play offense and you are a big play threat. They have the money as well. That's 5 reasons that they will be on the list (and one of the favorites).

As always, I'd love for you to be right. He would be a great pickup. As his agent, Buffalo would be further down on my list of teams. I believe Woods got paid as much as he did because the Rams believe he suffered from poor qb play.

The two teams mentioned on ESPN are Lions and Ravens, unless one is willing to way over pay are there any compelling reasons to go to one of those teams?

Both Smith and Taylor are limited, no doubt, but their limitations are different. Alex Smith will throw anywhere on the field within 11-14 yards from the LOS. He does not frequently take deep shots down the field. Tyrod on the other hand has shown no fear in uncorking a deep one outside the numbers, but doesn't frequently target between the hashes. Put their skills together and you have a hell of a QB. That being said, Maclin was miscast in KC's offense simply because his best attribute is being able to take the top off a defense as a legitimate threat to catch a deep pass. If Alex Smith is your QB, that deep pass isn't frequently happening. With Tyrod, I think Maclin is a much better fit. He could be the one on the other side of those deep shots that Goodwin and others were catching
Wayne Cubed Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 As always, I'd love for you to be right. He would be a great pickup. As his agent, Buffalo would be further down on my list of teams. I believe Woods got paid as much as he did because the Rams believe he suffered from poor qb play. Woods and Maclin are two completely different receivers. Maclin is a vertical threat receiver. That's why the KC signing made no sense when he signed there. Tyrods best trait as a QB is deep ball and big play potential. This could be a lot like the Harvin signing in 2015, if it happens. Harvin had 218 yards in 4 games and a TD before getting injured.

It's all about the money with Jeremy. Winning is secondary.
YoloinOhio Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) So if that's the case then why come here with Dennison installing the same type of offense?different QBs. TR likes the deep ball. Alex Smith no likey the deep ball. Or WRs. Edited June 3, 2017 by YoloinOhio

Harvin had 218 yards in 4 games and a TD before getting injured. He went there because they paid a ton, it was his home state, and they are a playoff team. He also had the second best season of his career last year.

One last pay day may actually work in our favor if he doesn't have to put up huge numbers for the next deal? What might count the most is THIS deal. $$$. Not that I want to OVER-pay, but....
Gugny Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 It's all about the money with Jeremy all NFL free agents not in New England*. Winning is secondary.
C.Biscuit97 Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 I agree with you. The two teams mentioned on ESPN are Lions and Ravens, unless one is willing to way over pay are there any compelling reasons to go to one of those teams? Because they are both playoff type teams with qbs with huge arms who are considered better than Tyrod. The Ravens makes a ton of senses. You sign a one year deal and hope to produce enough to get a bigger payday. Until we get one of those elite type qbs, it will be a struggle to get big name free agents WRs unless you completely overpay. That said, I think you are better getting WRs through the draft anyways. Much cheaper with less miles.
Kirby Jackson Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 As always, I'd love for you to be right. He would be a great pickup. As his agent, Buffalo would be further down on my list of teams. I believe Woods got paid as much as he did because the Rams believe he suffered from poor qb play. Woods got paid because #2 options always get paid in FA. Look at Sanu, Marvin Jones, Golden Tate, etc... this is a relatively new trend but number 2 receivers, coming off of their rookie deals, have a market.
