Kirby Jackson Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 A couple of things: - Shady was in his wedding 2 weeks ago so they are very close - He was with McDermott in Philly - This allows them to release Holmes (along with Davis and Ducasse) and land that 3rd round comp pick (potentially) No brainer to give him a call...

Mark Vader Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 1-2 year deal at 4 million a year otherwise no way. Of course it would have to be a reasonable deal. A couple of things: - Shady was in his wedding 2 weeks ago so they are very close - He was with McDermott in Philly - This allows them to release Holmes (along with Davis and Ducasse) and land that 3rd round comp pick (potentially) No brainer to give him a call... I get your point, but if they were to sign Maclin, then the Bills would have very good depth at WR. A line-up of Watkins, Maclin, Holmes & Z.Jones sounds very tantalizing.

The dropoff from Holmes to Butler, Streeter, Listenbee, etc..., as a number 4, isn't worth scaraficing a 3rd. IF (big IF), they landed Maclin Holmes would almost certainly be gone IMO. Seems natural. Probably a little pricier than most would peg but having real WR depth sure would be nice and might net us a pick if all works out as you note My guess is something like 1 year and $6M. That is just a total random guess based on nothing. Edited June 3, 2017 by Kirby Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I'd love to get him, but there's pry 30 other teams saying the same thing. My first thought is the Packers giving Rodgers more targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes is such a good 4th WR, Great blocker, great on special teams. Can fill in a top 3 spot if injury calls for it. Holmes is like 3 players in one.

Holmes is like 3 players in one.As a #4 receiver, he isn't worth trading a 3rd round pick for. That's essentially what you would be doing.

Davis may play some put they can always add a guy that gets released to fill that "depth DE" role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Would love this addition. And while I think Holmes is currently a WR 2 or 3 (yeah, I think he has some huge upside)--if he is 4 I would cut him for a 3rd rounder. Tate can fill-in on special teams, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Watkins and Jones outside. Philly Brown in the slot. Holmes is currently our backup at the X or Z. True, although given the injurie(s) to Watkins and/or Jones, I could see him coming in early in the season and playing his way into keeping a spot. That said, I would get Maclin over him if it came down to it. WR depth. Fantastic! Im predicting it now , bills will get top 10 pick from the chiefs next year. Losing key players and tough schedule, their luck cant last forever I would love that. Will be rooting against KC all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 3rd DE is a very important position. Anyone have a list of UFA's we signed? Not players cut. It's in the comp pick thread. This is the most common way to get there. Hauschka and DiMarco factor in as well. Davis is the 3rd DE now (maybe) but he had 4 tackles last year. There will be a lot of guys that hit the market that can do the job as well as him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flomoe Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Why was he released? Cap? attitude? sucks? Considering KC is fairly thin at WR, this release seems odd. Besides Hill, who is a multi purpose player, the next WR on the roster is........Chris Conley? I get that the cap hit was a tough one to swallow but there is nobody else there. I love the move though, the more depleted the Chefs are, the better chance they suck, the better the draft pick for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
