H2o Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 Would he be a better veteran presence than Dorial Green-Beckham? You're an idiot
Paul Costa Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 Won't be surprised if he signs today or tomorrow. Miss the first couple days of camp. No hurry. Doesn't need the reps just some chemistry with TT.

eball Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 Beane is going to have to learn that it takes a premium to attract FAs to Buffalo I don't believe this for a second. The Pegulas have a very good reputation already (despite the team's overall lack of success).

Shaw66 Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 Sorry, maybe it's in here somewhere. Did Bolden actually leave Buffalo? If he doesn't sign somewhere in the next day or two, I suspect he sits out until a good team has an injury to a key receiver, either in preseason or early in the regular s
Drunken Pygmy Goat Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 Sorry, maybe it's in here somewhere. Did Bolden actually leave Buffalo?If he doesn't sign somewhere in the next day or two, I suspect he sits out until a good team has an injury to a key receiver, either in preseason or early in the regular s I've seen reports stating that he left Buffalo, and others that say he left OBD, so I'm not sure which is the case. But there was a report this morning that says nothing is imminent, and that the Bills are "leaving the door open"...
DirtDart Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 With all due respect. I dont see any mods stopping you from posting your "opinion" Lets stick with the truth sir I am just poking fun John. although, you must admit that some posters take it way over-the-top when you disagree with their opinions....
The Jokeman Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 Veteran minimum plus incentives perhaps as a beginning for negotiation just like a Beane counter would? With no other offers out there who knows if he'd consider something like that. Waiting for the Beane counter jokes.....

But there was a report this morning that says nothing is imminent, and that the Bills are "leaving the door open"... Thanks. Leaving the door open suggests they're done talking for now. That almost always results in the guy signing elsewhere. Bolden probably is looking for a relatively big final payday. Maclin and now Bolden suggests the new regime has a serious discipline about spending, which would be consistent with building through the draft. Bills could afford Bolden, but it seems they just won't overpay.

Maclin and now Bolden suggests the new regime has a serious discipline about spending, which would be consistent with building through the draft. Bills could afford Bolden, but it seems they just won't overpay. Normally I would agree with this post and the don't overpay approach. However on a one year deal - to overspend by 1-2 mil shouldn't be the reason not to sign a vet if the need is big enough. My hunch is the conversation is about what role does each side foresee and does that role help or delay Zay Jones. When you're dealing with a vet on a one year deal - the team knows what kind of salary he's expecting long before he comes in to visit. I can't imagine a scenario where the Bills were thinking 2.5 mil and he wants 7 - then both sides say "holy crap, we're not doing that" - then the player leaves. Edited July 25, 2017 by Triple Threat
YoloinOhio Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 They have been, no doubt. I'm saying that a guy in his late 30's isn't viewing a team that won 4 games and then 5 games as his chance for a ring (regardless of how good they were 5-10 years ago). The same goes for Baltimore and the Bills. The Chargers have been a much better organization than the Raiders, for example, over the last 15 years but the Raiders would give Boldin a better shot at a championship. 2017 is all that matters in this equation. At the moment Baltimore, Buffalo and the Chargers are in the same boat.i think the Ravens are going to be awful this year
CommonCents Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 i think the Ravens are going to be awful this year Why? I like them this year but just heard that Dixon tore up his knee again so that dampers my expectations a bit. I'd guess Buck Allen takes most of the early season work while Dixon is suspended/rehabbing. Solid D, Vet QB, a few weapons outside and a proven HC.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 I think he will sign with us. No rush to have him sign before camp. He doesnt have any other visits lining up. Then again, he could also be waiting for training camp and for injuries to happen then he may be more in demand and have a better selection CBF
White Linen Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 I think he will sign with us. No rush to have him sign before camp. He doesnt have any other visits lining up. Then again, he could also be waiting for training camp and for injuries to happen then he may be more in demand and have a better selection CBF I think he may still sign with us also. I'd guess that they had a conversation about what role they'd like him to play and he may be thinking about where he feels he fits in to what the Bills had to say. Then he's probably thinking about whether he'd like to take that opportunity or wait for another. I heard on the WGR an interview with a Detroit guy that stated he played 100% from the slot. So to me it comes down to do the Bills think Zay can learn enough and get enough playing time at the same spot they may foresee Zay getting time at - slot. I'm not saying Zay won't be an outside guy but I'm thinking Holmes or Streater will win the outside spot this year - then they'd like to work Zay in at slot. I'm sure that's what Boldin's questions where. Where do you see me in the offense?
C.Biscuit97 Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 He gone. We are the ugly girl who gets flirted with first.
Threedollabills Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 I started a thread on Boldin in FEBRUARY or something hoping for a Boldin signing. Hope we get him. PAY DA MAN!!!!!
