BUFFALOKIE Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 I called Anquan a "has been" earlier in this thread. I was ignorant. AB is a tough SOB, a reliable players, and a great man. Welcome aboard Anquan! Proud to have you!!!
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 We can already see what the veteran Boldin can do by way of improving the Dennison WC O in one day of practice. ,,,hell, why not bro?...didn't Buffalo sign TO for $6.5 mil?...............this looks like a bargain.......
26CornerBlitz Posted August 9, 2017 Author Posted August 9, 2017 ...LMAO...you know it's coming......the budding GM candidates as card carrying members in the "One 'n Done" crowd here (COUGH) are PO'ed that Beane got the nod over them...... Yep. Never ever doubt the personnel expertise of TSW.
Beast Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 I wonder what fans expect him to say, "I'm just glad to be a part of an upcoming 8-8 season?" His quotes are standard FA lip service. Spending 14 years in the league doesn't just polish your route-running, it also makes you very savvy in front of the media. Don't get me wrong, I think this is a smart signing by our FO, but he was a FA in August - we weren't his #1 destination all along. Probably not but maybe he has a good year, enjoys Buffalo, and Buffalo is his #1 choice next off-season.

Saxum Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 BB just said that the Pegulas kids went to same School as Boldin's kids and they had some familiarity - Kim reached out to his wife to talk. Boldin family may be used to living in Florida but if he makes connection and gets a job post career with Bills maybe they can deal with moving. While $2.75M + incentives is a decent chunk of money, it's a one year deal and we have the cap space. At this stage of the game, there are not going to be a lot of big money signings, so it's a wise, low-risk use of the cap space that we have. I'm far from a salary cap expert, but I believe that this contract will have zero impact beyond this season. I'm pleased with the signing and think that Boldin will be a good addition to the roster. I just don't see it as a major event. If any bonus are determined "not likely to be obtained" such as "MVP in Pro Bowl", "Touchdowns in playoffs", etc and he gets it then it will affect salary cap next year. Are there still any naysayers out there who believe Boldin only signed here for the $$, and his comments about the team/wanting to win another championship are b.s.? I believe he went where the package (money, bonuses, free ride on Pegula's Jet ) were best. He is always aiming for championships not bus though.

Speaking of jets... anyone see what Krafty Bob bought? Holy shnikeys! C'mon Pegs...you can do it too!
YoloinOhio Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Ed Reed chimes in @TwentyER Congratulations to the #Bills and my brother Anquan #81 great for both! Can wait! #LetsgoBuffalo Great leader in locker room and on field!

Kirby Jackson Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Update: the Christmas Ale Bacon Jam just made an appearance on a baked potato and was the star of the show.
Gunsgoodtime Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Come back to Buffalo and be on staff Ed! No thanks. Did you watch the defense? I want no parts of anyone who ruined our defense, I know Rex was the main culprit
Scott7975 Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 I would rather have had TD mike than anquan. How much did td mike sign for again? I forget I like boldin, but this teams strength is the run. I think the Bills are trying to more even out the strengths. I would like to have had both and they could have.
BillsFan4 Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 A couple reporters didn't even let him finish answering the questions lol They seem to do that a lot, IMO. Like for example the media was doing that just the other day when Pegula was giving his interview. He'd give a short answer and just be starting to elaborate, and some reporter interrupts him to ask a different question. I was getting aggravated. They're so anxious to ask the next question that they don't even let the guy finish answering the previous one. Seems kind of unprofessional to me...
3rdand12 Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Lets let Mr Boldin enjoy a great fan base, like we know we can be.Let him do his thing and see how it rolls out. Go Anquan! and welcome to My Team. The Buffalo Bills They seem to do that a lot, IMO. Like for example the media was doing that just the other day when Pegula was giving his interview. He'd give a short answer and just be starting to elaborate, and some reporter interrupts him to ask a different question. I was getting aggravated. They're so anxious to ask the next question that they don't even let the guy finish answering the previous one.Seems kind of unprofessional to me... It is uncomfortable for sure. I have seen the same. But honestly, It has always been that way as each reporter wants to get their question in and answered.
YoloinOhio Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 @profootballtalk Zay Jones was amazed that Anquan Boldin knew the playbook so well. Said Boldin: "Well, its because I didnt get any sleep last night."
atlbillsfan1975 Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Good signing. No need to rush Zay Jones now. Id expect 50 catches for 500 yards and 5-7 tds.The signing does help as insurance. I think your numbers are a little high 45 catches 300-400 yards and hopefully 5 TD's. I just don't see Boldin being a YAC guy right now, and I also don't see him being a deep seem route runner. Boldin will need to find spots in zone coverage where he can post up for Tyrod. Let's hope he gets 6 yards on third down with 5 yards to go a lot of times! This will be his value.

But if he scores some tds, makes some tough catches to keep drives alive, knocks a few heads on blocks, & is a great mentor, it's a very good signing.

The intangibles are very nice. Like hearing the comment about showing up and knowing the play book. I just hope some Bills fans won't be disappointed if he isn't throwing up any 100 yd games. Watkins is very young still, I hope Boldin and him get along.
