nucci Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Fantastic news. His leadership alone for a young WR corp is incredibly valuable. I think he'll generate a lot of production this year too. Great weapon for Red Zone and third downs. I think he was signed for his abilities on the field.
McBean Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Great veteran sigining. This combined with Sal saying Tyrod looked great today is fantastic news. Let's end this playoff drought boys.
Kirby Jackson Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Holmes to the waiver wire Kirby?I don't think so but I wouldn't say that he is a lock either. If he gets passed by Streater or someone like that it's possible.
eball Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Sounds to me like Anquan really wants to play, but had to talk Mrs. Anquan into dealing with Buffalo for a season. Great job, Beane and McD!
Wagon Circler Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Booooooooom. Ralph is cheap. Terry is NOT cheap.
Coach Tuesday Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Holmes has the ST gunner job locked down, so I think he still makes the roster. Your top three are Sammy, Zay and Boldin. I think Holmes and Streater stick, and they carry 5 WRs until Powell comes back from suspension - then they have a decision to make.

BillnutinHouston Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 I wonder how many trips in Terry's jet are part of the deal?
ALF Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Bills will find out how Taylor can do with enough legit receivers. Rooting for you Tyrod
buffaloboyinATL Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Quick refresher on Boldin's production over the last five years. Screen Shot 2017-08-07 at 12.39.01 PM.png I'll take 60 catches for 800 and 6 TD's. That is highly possible and anything else is gravy.
NewEra Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Makes me happy. Can't wait to see him in a Bills uniform. All class and should pass along a weather of knowledge to Sammy and Zay while being a very nice depth player. Seems like Holmes has been a dud so far and considering the possible comp pick coming our way if we cut him, I expect him to be cut by the deadline mid season at the very latest.
Bangarang Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Watkins, Boldin and Zay is a really nice group for Tyrod to throw to. There are literally no excuses this year.
Ittakestime Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Great signing, now cut Holmes to make room for Boldin.
Kelly the Dog Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Holmes has the ST gunner job locked down, so I think he still makes the roster. Your top three are Sammy, Zay and Boldin. I think Holmes and Streater stick, and they carry 5 WRs until Powell comes back from suspension - then they have a decision to make. I think that is exactly right, CT. We could use some more speed but not having to rely on a rookie second rounder, however much anyone likes Zay, to make plays early in his career really helps Tyrod, Sammy, and Clay, amongst a host of others.
BrooklynBills Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 I don't think so but I wouldn't say that he is a lock either. If he gets passed by Streater or someone like that it's possible. Dumping Holmes may well equal gaining that 3rd rounder comp pick for Gilmore. I could easily see him being dumped if he's moved to 4th on the depth chart and isn't really available to play in the slot.
Kelly the Dog Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 I wonder how many trips in Terry's jet are part of the deal? Chicken Wings for life, although I imagine that Boldin doesn't eat a lot of them.
BuffaloHokie13 Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Watkins, Boldin and Zay is a really nice group for Tyrod to throw to. There are literally no excuses this year. Add in Clay & Shady. Even DiMarco has some hands IIRC
eball Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Things Boldin brings to the team: -- reliable production -- tough-nosed attitude (aggressive) -- can "coach up" other WRs -- won't be afraid to tell Tyrod to just throw the damn ball There is really nothing not to like about this addition.
