NewMexBills Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Boldin knew what was going down with this team & the mind of the Beane
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Just not for the Bills. But all Moot because Bills hold his rights. Intrigued in playing with NE. http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/patriots/2017/09/02/nfl-season-offers-lot-look-forward/DD8QvB6u3Z325l2NLHjr6J/story.html I dunno, seems pretty vague to me. There was mutual interest in the offseason. Boldin "remains intrigued" seems pretty vague to me. Actual quote: "In light of Edelman’s injury, a league source said the Patriots and recently retired Anquan Boldin had mutual interest in bringing Boldin to New England this offseason, and he remains intrigued by the possibility. But the point is likely moot. Boldin signed with the Bills, and was placed on Buffalo’s reserve/retired list Aug. 22. That means the Bills retain his rights, and they would need to release him in order to let him sign with the Patriots." Boldin can say "of course I'm intrigued" to sound like he has a competitive pulse left, knowing the Bills have his rights and NE has not actually approached him or expressed interest.
wppete Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 If true what a piece of crap Boldin is. For sure don't release him and fired him to stay retired.
Thurman#1 Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Color me as not shocked. Yep, who'da thunk it? Except pretty much everyone.
Overseas Bills Fan Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 I'd settle for a draft pick for Boldin Sure. . .give me their 1st round pick and you can have him. Boldin now makes me sick to my stomach. I remember him being a team leader in Arizona. Now, he's just a jerk! If NE wants him, we get their first round pick this year! If no, enjoy your year off, Boldin!
MAJBobby Posted September 4, 2017 Author Posted September 4, 2017 Much props to Boldin. Saw this **** show for what it is and said Deuces
Magox Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Much props to Boldin. Saw this **** show for what it is and said Deuces Yes, much props to Boldin. He knew with Sammy that they had a shot at winning a championship and now with Sammy gone and telegraphing the move of the Bills dumping their JAG backup RB, he knew it was time to bail.
MAJBobby Posted September 4, 2017 Author Posted September 4, 2017 Yes, much props to Boldin. He knew with Sammy that they had a shot at winning a championship and now with Sammy gone and telegraphing the move of the Bills dumping their JAG backup RB, he knew it was time to bail. Yeah he is JAG. A 2nd year player on a 5th round Rookie Deal. But hey the Bills kept their boys Ducasse Tolbert and traded for another Carolina WR with zero stats in three years.
NoSaint Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Maybe you didn't understand my posts. I'm all for extracting a pick from the Pats for Boldin. But I want a significant pick. Not a 2020 7th. But you seem to want the Bills to be nice guys and just let Boldin go help the Pats for nothing. That I can't comprehend. Right, you want something that is never going to happen. I am good with pretty much anything at all. If I told you that we signed a free agent in august, didn't work out and traded him a week later for ANYTHING you would be down for the outcome if not putting emotions in it
Wayne Arnold Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 I'm dying to know what McDermott and/or Beane told Boldin to convince him to sign with the Bills in the first place. Right, you want something that is never going to happen.I am good with pretty much anything at all.If I told you that we signed a free agent in august, didn't work out and traded him a week later for ANYTHING you would be down for the outcome if not putting emotions in it "Pretty much anything at all" isn't going to cut it in this situation. It wouldn't be a good look for anyone (except the Pats, of course).
Bill from NYC Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Maybe you didn't understand my posts. I'm all for extracting a pick from the Pats for Boldin. But I want a significant pick. Not a 2020 7th. But you seem to want the Bills to be nice guys and just let Boldin go help the Pats for nothing. That I can't comprehend. Boldin is lucky to have 1 good year left even with Brady at qb. Imo he is old and all but useless. Now, toss the fact that the Bills are going nowhere this season and yes, even a late round pick sounds good.
Doc Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Yes, much props to Boldin. He knew with Sammy that they had a shot at winning a championship and now with Sammy gone and telegraphing the move of the Bills dumping their JAG backup RB, he knew it was time to bail.
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 if we can get a first and a 4th rounder release him
jethro_tull Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Boldin is over the hill and ridiculously slow. He is of value by his reputation alone and I doubt if he plays for anyone this season.
HappyDays Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) Yeah he is JAG. A 2nd year player on a 5th round Rookie Deal. But hey the Bills kept their boys Ducasse Tolbert and traded for another Carolina WR with zero stats in three years. Ducasse and Williams aren't comparable. There is plenty of RB depth across the league. I could name some backup RBs, I couldn't name a single backup G. Every team has to cut a solid depth RB to make way for a crappy offensive lineman. There isn't another choice. Edited September 4, 2017 by HappyDays
PromoTheRobot Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Right, you want something that is never going to happen. I am good with pretty much anything at all. If I told you that we signed a free agent in august, didn't work out and traded him a week later for ANYTHING you would be down for the outcome if not putting emotions in it True. But why do we want to help the Patriots out for little or nothing? Not to mention do a favor to a guy who made up a bulls##t excuse for quitting on us?
Doc Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Boldin is over the hill and ridiculously slow. He is of value by his reputation alone and I doubt if he plays for anyone this season. Yup. Like I said, I can't imagine anyone looked at his performance in the Eagles game and said "we need to have him," much less the Cheaters. I'm more leaning towards it being a bad source.
NoSaint Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 True. But why do we want to help the Patriots out for little or nothing? Not to mention do a favor to a guy who made up a bulls##t excuse for quitting on us? Do you actually think that he helps the pats? I guess if gronk goes down he's a red zone target but that's pretty much it, even as a best case scenario.
plenzmd1 Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Right, you want something that is never going to happen. I am good with pretty much anything at all. If I told you that we signed a free agent in august, didn't work out and traded him a week later for ANYTHING you would be down for the outcome if not putting emotions in it I am 100% with you on this..i would rather have an extra 6th next year than whatever feeling of "victory" we have if we would not let him go if he wanted to go. $1M for a 6th round pick, it's Terry money, I am all good with it! But I have still not seen 1 other person or source report anything about this, let alone Boldin. Amazing how people have crucified Boldin on here, and absolutely no one can confirm the story.
