Paul Costa Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 It just seems as though the Bills are going in the right direction. The air smells a little fresher the girls look a little prettier. Man do I hope we sign Macklin.🤗
K D Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 I'm still heated with BillsFanatics right now and I don't care who sticks up for them. Why? Because he didn't sign today? They are wining and dining him first and they have to work out the finer points of the contract. We will hear tomorrow
Putin Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 After McCoy said don't be surprised if J Macklin joins the Bills , I thought it was (at least verbally ) a done deal , am I the only one ? Especially after hearing about how hard he was trying to recruit him , and all the connections to our coaching staff and so on , Why? Because he didn't sign today? They are wining and dining him first and they have to work out the finer points of the contract. We will hear tomorrow Maybe ( I hope ) your right
DrDawkinstein Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 I would be SHOCKED if he doesnt meet with Baltimore. Unless they tell him, "You leave and the offer is off the table". McBeane could pull that off since Maclin was sort of a surprise that fell into our lap anyways.
Putin Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 I just can't help but running to my iPad every 10-15 minutes hoping to see that its official J Macklin is a Buffalo Bill

Especially after hearing about how hard he was trying to recruit him , and all the connections to our coaching staff and so on , Maybe ( I hope ) your right It's possible the details of a 7-8 figure contract on short notice might take a few hours to work out and he might actually like to see the city, meet staff/teammates and not just sign on the good word of 2-3 guys blindly. That he's here speaks volumes to it being serious

McBeane could pull that off since Maclin was sort of a surprise that fell into our lap anyways. I'm pretty sure he already knows what Baltimores offer ( more or less looks like ) , but I guess there's nothing wrong with free dinner?

johnnywo Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 Unless you are coming from Chicago....just so you are not late for practice. WOW...this says a bunch about this dude and the expectations that were set by the coaching staff. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2714106-bills-cb-shareece-wright-took-600-uber-from-chicago-to-ny-for-voluntary-workout He flew in on the Pegula's jet. If he leaves without signing, he's taking Uber. Oh wait...cannot catch an Uber until the end of the month.
purple haze Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 Decker might be the better possession receiver, and therefore he might be more valuable in the Bills offense. Maclin's more explosive. But what does Tyrod do better than anything? Throw downfield; but Maclin can run all the routes. I like the ideas of having Sammy and Maclin on the field at the same time. Two WR's who can go anywhere on the field. Zay Jones can handle the possession routes.

Maclin is a speedster. He might not be olympic sprinter fast but clearly he is a soeedster. Sure, he has good speed, but look at his career yards per catch (13.5) in the NFL that indicates his actual football speed: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MaclJe00.htm Guys like DeSean Jackson, a real home run hitter, are what I consider to be "speed guys" at the NFL level. You're trying too hard to prove me wrong, but continue on. Edited June 7, 2017 by 26CornerBlitz
Chandler#81 Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 No update? Still in B-Lo? Can we track Uber calls from B-more? Fellas (and ladies), we're slacking!

You're trying too hard to prove me wrong, but continue on. No it doesnt its, indicative of what type of offense hes playing. In 14 he averaged 15,5 per catch. Hes plenty fast. I just showed you he was measured as the 5th fastest player in all of 2015 hes a speedster. http://www.stack.com/a/these-players-clocked-the-10-fastest-speeds-during-the-2015-nfl-regular-seasonMaybe not an elite speedster but hes a speedster. Everyone of the articles I posted referred to him as a deepth threat/speedster. Keep on being wrong. Edited June 7, 2017 by Bill_with_it
YoloinOhio Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) Not sure if legit...account has 25.6 followers. Tweeted around midnight. @ustadium Jeremy Maclin will make his visit to the #Ravens tomorrow but had a great meeting with the #Bills today. Two sides could strike a deal. Here's a second source, from same time @schultz_report #Bills remain the leader to sign Maclin, per source. As @AdamSchefter reported, he will visit the #Ravens tomorrow. Edited June 7, 2017 by YoloinOhio
Kirby Jackson Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 I don't like the idea of him leaving the building.
JM57 Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 I don't like the idea of him leaving the building. At the end of the day, the Bills can probably offer more money, but the Ravens offer the opportunity to possibly be the #1 and (based on past results only) may represent a better shot of making the playoffs. He could always have his heart set on playing with his buddy McCoy, but just wants to meet with the Ravens to see what they have to offer him as far as opportunity and letting his former OC have a shot to impress.
H2o Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 I think over the years we have grown accustomed to losing out on guys who don't sign immediately. Look at Hodges though. The tide is turning. Maclin would be a good signing for us, but if we don't grab him then move on to Decker.
Kirby Jackson Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 Just in general a guy not signing immediately allows for other teams to be in play. It doesn't mean that the Bills aren't the favorite but Baltimore gets a chance to win him over. Additionally, time will give other teams a chance to get involved if they choose. If I'm Maclin I'm using whatever leverage I can to get the numbers up. It makes sense. I just wish that they could have closed the deal so that we don't have to worry about this.
