PirateHookerMD Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 1-2 year deal at 4 million a year otherwise no way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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.

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...

Our QB coach was his WR coach. Bills will be after him no doubt. Perfect compliment to Watkins. Edited June 3, 2017 by TheTruthHurts 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. If we were the number 3 this year it'd be a tougher pill to swallow but as a depth guy it's an easy decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDogg20 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Would absolutely love this. Need another wideout and I was hoping we'd snag him a couple years ago. Get r done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were the number 3 this year it'd be a tougher pill to swallow but as a depth guy it's an easy decision. You would have to release 4 players. But if the Bills are looking to add another mid round pick then Im fine with that. They can sign them back. I wont cry over a 4th WR being released.

YoloinOhio Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Would love Maclin and with his former WR coach here I think we have a shot Remember they have until week 10 to cut Holmes and have it factor into the comp formula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
