Did he clear waivers?

But we only have three legits. Unless they plan on using Tate. Gag me with a spoon!

Anyone know Reilly's status, did he clear waivers?

The only thing that makes any sense is if they're making a trade or something. Not understanding today at all.

So what happens now when McCoy gets tweaked for a few games this season? Banyard's backed up by whom? T. Jones? Hate this move. Hate it big time. Banyard and Will could have been a good one two punch. Now McCoy has to stay healthy. Hard to put your eggs in that basket,

Why does a story have to be confirmed? Do you actually think your opinion means something to anyone? This is a place for Bills fans to have conversations about football. Nothing said here makes any difference to anyone in the league. It's conversation, entertainment. Not sure what kind of point you think you're making but it's not a good one considering youve posted multiple times in said thread. But hey, if it makes you feel good thinking you're better than others because of some weird self righteous holier than thou schtick. Then I say, be you.

I'm really struggling with this one. Doesnt make any sense imo

Hanging out with their families and friends on a holiday weekend?

Seriously? It's a football conversation. This is a football message board. What else would you like to talk about. Feel free to start a thread anytime.

Ok. Cmon now!

Can't do that giving players away to already better teams in your division. Shouldn't even have to say that. Shortsighted.

The NFL isn't the goodwill games. You think if Boldin wins a championship with the Pats people will look fondly on the Bills for allowing it to happen? No. It'll just help people to remember that the you go to New England to win. That's it.

Yeah, great idea. Just keep adding to the Pats stellar rep so players will continue to choose them over us. It's genius really.

You don't help the reputation to grow. You do what you can to squash it.

I think anyone that thinks it would look good for the Bills free agency wise to let him go is adopting a myopic view. I can see the narrative all year. Pats saved Boldin from the talent black hole Buffalo Bills. Further cementing the reputation as New England is where you go to play meaningful games and Buffalo is where you go to die. I dont even think I'd trade him there for a pick now. God forbid we hang with them in a game and Boldin's the one to get the final points or get a huge first down. Then we're the joke team that traded him for a 6th round pick and furthering the reputation we don't care about winning. There are much larger ramifications than you'd initially think.

Yup, so as a division rival that has to face them twice a year. Why don't we help them continue that trend. Silly.

Getting "tough" with a guy is not allowing him to join a division rival for free? Ok, guess we're being tough then. Otherwise we'd be dumb. Rather be tough than dumb.

How long was he with us? Two weeks? You'd better believe the hoodie would get 8 td's out of him.

He's not Edelman. But he's a big body that catches everything thrown to him. He'd be huge on first downs and the red zone. That's just fact.

Oh, so you're in favor of trading him? Yeah, obviously I'd do that. I'm talking releasing him.

So you can't beat them, so help them? Ok, I don't want you on my team. Ever.

Probably doesn't matter, but you don't help them win. You just don't. That's just plain dumb. So yeah, we'll probably do it.

Agreed, and he be a valuable short yardage first down and touchdown machine all year for the Pats. No thanks.

Can't believe what I'm reading here. I like Boldin as a player too but release him so he can help the Pats beat us up even more two times this year? How about, no. You don't help a division rival win. You just don't.

I expect Gaines to do well in this D. Hard to say "a lot better", they both have different skill sets.
