fridge Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 @ScottSwenson4: Bills really kicking the tires on Anquan Boldin. He was seen with Bills handler at UB Orthopedics. @news4buffalo F5 This is unanimously a good decision, right? I can't think of a reason not to sign him.
JM2009 Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 This is unanimously a good decision, right? I can't think of a reason not to sign him. If he wants to sign here. I hope he does.
Kirby Jackson Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 This is unanimously a good decision, right? I can't think of a reason not to sign him. That's kind of where I am. I don't see the downside.
Heitz Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 That's kind of where I am. I don't see the downside. Fortunately, that's what we have TBD for! F5
BillsFan4 Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 This is unanimously a good decision, right? I can't think of a reason not to sign him. Unless they gave him some ridiculous money/term, which I don't see happening, I can't see any down side to signing him. I've wanted Boldin all offseason, so I'm really hoping it gets done. But even if it doesn't, it seems pretty clear that OBD is most likely going to make an addition to the WR corps between now and the start of the season. I'm sure there will be some good WR's available between now and then. It'd be nice to get a quality guy like Boldin in before training camp though.
Blokestradamus Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 This is unanimously a good decision, right? I can't think of a reason not to sign him. I'd pay him vet minimum just to play 20 snaps per game as a run blocker.

At this point in FA, you know what the guy wants financially. You know what you want his role to be. If it isn't a fit for whatever reason, isn't that something you find out before they come in? Like over the phone? Why bring in someone like Anquan Boldin just to let him walk out the door?

Not impressed with the new GM so far.
dwight in philly Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 I agree. Not impressed with the new GM so far. And all along we thought it was Ralph
JM2009 Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 And all along we thought it was Ralph RW would pay for players, most of the time. It was the management and coaching he went cheap on. Pegulas will pay, but not when the GM is being too frugal. NE wins the SB, and continues to get better adding players, good players, and we can't even get an aging Boldin. SMH
fansince88 Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 Fortunately, that's what we have TBD for! F5 If they sign him I am sone withthis Team!!! Worse pickup since Terrell Owens!!!! Of corse im not serious.

Pegulas will pay, but not when the GM is being too frugal. i agree .. totally.. very perplexed about this if they do not sign boldin. not getting maclin, not closing the deal here, (hopefuilly it gets done) , what is going on? pegula pays(see ville leino) Edited July 24, 2017 by dwight in philly
BillsFan4 Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 I agree. Not impressed with the new GM so far. Seriously? What's there not to be impressed with yet? Because Maclin chose Flacco and a Baltimore team he felt was more competitive and just won a Super Bowl in 2012 over a Buffalo team that hasn't even seen the playoffs in almost 2 decades? (him not signing here had nothing to do with the GM, go read Maclin's comments in why he chose Baltimore). And because we didn't sign Boldin yet? Seems like some silly reasons not to be impressed with our GM... Look at the front office/personnel/scouting staff Beane put together. How can you not be impressed by that? Really, there's not even close to enough to judge Beane on one way or another yet. But from listening to him talk and looking at the staff he's assembled, I don't really understand how someone could not be impressed with him, unless they're just looking for reasons not to like him (IMO anyway).

If it isn't a fit for whatever reason, isn't that something you find out before they come in? Like over the phone? Why bring in someone like Anquan Boldin just to let him walk out the door? Do you do all of your hiring over the phone? These are pretty naive questions. I agree. Not impressed with the new GM so far. You win for most ridiculous post of the offseason.

If OBD is turning into the frugal Bills, they better be the best drafters in the NFL, for an organization staring at 18 years of no playoffs. Now that's not on the new regime, but it isn't a good sign for the fanbase not to get Boldin in here. Maclin, who had other suiters, I can see, but not this one.
BillsFan17 Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 Lmao people knew Beane's approach from day one and now want to complain
BillsFan4 Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 There's a long way to go before the season starts. Let's wait and see what happens, yeah? There's plenty of time to add to the WR corps. Who knows, we may still sign Boldin yet, too. It's not like we had a great passing game the last couple years, so drawing in any good FA wide receivers may not be the easiest task right now, until they prove that they will pass their receivers the ball more. Buffalo ran more than they passed, pretty sure they were the only team in the NFL to do so. That may contribute to WR's not putting Buffalo at the top of their list. I don't want them to overpay an aging player just to force a signing, either.
