CommonCents Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Lord knows we need a WR -Boldin Boldin would be my choice also. I wonder how much money he is expected too get. I read an article a few days ago saying he is going to be picky about where he signs. Safe to assume that he has some kind of interest from a few teams?

The Roman connection is there but who knows if that's good or bad for a WR. I'd think that a 1 year $4M deal would get it done. I've thought less would do it but maybe not if he's being picky.

billsfan89 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Boldin would be an interesting kick the tires type player, but 2 players That would be of real interest to the Bills would be Kevin Williams as a vet NT option and Vasquez on the O-line.

I'd love to have Boldin on this team, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROONDOGG55 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) Dwight Freeney! - We will obviously be without Shaq Lawson for the first month, and Hughes is the only other effective rusher on our roster. We desperately need another rusher, and I think Freeney can be our guy! He was the Cardinals leading passrusher as a situational guy and he didn't even play the whole season. We can probably pick him up fairly cheap on a one year deal and play a similar role like he did last year. - So, brining in Freeney and playing him like what the Cardinals did with him last year makes a lot of sense to me. Hopefully the Bills see it the same way and make signing a rusher opposite Hughes a priority! Edited May 19, 2016 by ROONDOGG55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but you are forgetting: The Ryan defense is not premised on actually rushing or hitting the passer; it is a complex psychological operation against the opposing QB in which the goal is to confuse, annoy and distract. It is very high-level stuff that only the Ryan twins and Bart Scott truly grasp. It would probably take a 15-year vet like Freeney the better part of a season to absorb even the most basic concepts.

They have to want to come here, the guys probably trying to skip a good portion of the offseason and sign somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) Old guys are tricky. They have to want to come here, the guys probably trying to skip a good portion of the offseason and sign somewhere.i was reading about freeney last week. I'm a huge fan of his by the way and while he wouldn't play a lot of snaps I think he can help this team or any team even at his age. Anyway, he said he doesn't want to skip TC (Last year he did). This could signal a lack of suitors and he's trying to make himself look more committed. He did say (of course) that he wants to go to a winning team. But, money talks IMO and who knows if any "winning teams" are looking to bring him in. Edited May 19, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
