OldTimeAFLGuy Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Have you sent any Tweets to Boldin and Barnidge giving them reasons why they should sign here? ...they're quietly on the couch waiting for an injury that will surely fatten up checkbook offerings.......it's supply and demand now because it is short term for both (no multi year deals in the offing IMO)....

3rdand12 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 DE Yarborough. make note Really need to get Boldin in here for slot and put Zay on the outside. Holmes can't be anywhere near a starter. looking that way. and yes Jones should not play slot unless motioned in Have you sent any Tweets to Boldin and Barnidge giving them reasons why they should sign here? Poirot had class. Take note Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figster Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I realize Beane wants to make smart decisions from a cost perspective, but getting Boldin into a Bills uni might be the most important thing he could for the success of Tyrod Taylor and the Bills O this season. The whole WR corp benefits from a veteran athlete of his caliber and experience in my humble opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Lightning Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 At the end of the day how many games will Boldin win for us? Likely none. If Beane gets him on his terms, fine. If not, let's let this new regime steer the course for the team that they envision and we hope for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams need proven veteran leadership to teach younger players how to prepare, how to conduct themselves as professionals on and off the field, and most important, how to win. They don't get any more proven then A Boldin IMO Green Lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is if Beane can get him for the value he sets, big thumbs up. Of not, I can deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is if Beane can get him for the value he sets, big thumbs up. Of not, I can deal with it. At this point, I'd rather spend the money for a starting #2 WR like Boldin than save an extra million or two for the rainy day fund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Murica Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Hey we agree. Love to have him. I just don't want to overpay or limit are cap to pick up someone who may be a longer term fit. My point is if Beane can get him for the value he sets, big thumbs up. Of not, I can deal with it. 12.9 million in cap space, I don't think Boldin will break the bank. I think Beane and the new FO are setting the precedent, they're not going to over spend because they're buffalo. All speculation of course on my part.

Boldin can Boldin is going to sit at home and wait for a WR on a contending team to get injured.

Figster Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) If Holmes can't run the right route... and it seems he is struggling .. Boldin can its a reasonable take Zay will be the two I like Zay, but Boldin gives you that big bodied vet that already knows how to use his body and will consistently make catches in tight coverage along with good YAC. Its a tall order for the rookie IMO. I think the WC Offense needs Boldin, and I think Taylor needs a possession receiver like A Boldin.

Its a tall order for the rookie IMO. I think the WC Offense needs Boldin, and I think Taylor needs a possession receiver like A Boldin. I would suggest Zay would be a better fit outside once acclimated. Boldin might better work the slot with his ability to find the seams in zones and all the other things a savvy vet can offer. I could them moving receivers around alot this year presnap. Or at least switching up who is in X,Y,Z. Agreed on bringing Anquan in, no doubt ! Boldin would most likely be the slot guy. Zay would need to earn time on the outside. Agreed. This Kid Shorts might be our speed guy along with C Brown. It's early but i am kinda stoked about the receivers if we bring one solid vet in. Are Boldin and Holmes redundant ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a tall order for the rookie IMO. I think the WC Offense needs Boldin, and I think Taylor needs a possession receiver like A Boldin. I heard a decent point on WGR last week: in terms of body type, Boldin is very similar to Zay. Now, he has maybe one or two year left in the tank, but if he can help Zay refine his game, that's worth a little extra alone. And that's on top of being a surer bet in the slot and a nice possession, move the chains WR at this point in his career, which we can use. Let's open the checkbook.
