Kirby Jackson Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Does he wind up getting the same treatment as Maclin/Barnidge?I would think so. Lowball offer and then they say "we tried." It worked with Hodges though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) Does he wind up getting the same treatment as Maclin/Barnidge?neither of those guys had more than one other offer at the time they came in. They weren't highly sought after and as far as we know, neither is Boldin. So I would suggest that he will get a similar offer according to where the Bills see his current value. If they really want him they might go higher but I don't know how much they really wanted to meet the demands of the other two.

Alphadawg7 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 This makes so much sense and a no brainer for the Bills IMO. Sammy, Zay, and Holmes could benefit so much from being around him and playing with him. Also, Anquan is going to almost be like have a 2 TE set out there. He's such a strong receiver out there and a significant Red Zone Target. Play him out of the slot and run him out there similar to how we would use a second TE over the middle for Taylor. Very much what they did in Detroit last year where Boldin had a very valuable impact on the offense and Stafford. This is the kind of bargain signing that could be impactful in a number of areas. Reliable and durable receiver, mentor for the young talent here, TE like weapon in the redzone and on 3rd down for Taylor. GET THIS DONE BUFFALO.

flaz Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I think he was mentioned as a possible addition the last time he was on the market. I liked the idea then and still do.

BuffaloRebound Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 If nothing else, bringing in Boldin is a couple million dollar investment into Sammy. Seems like he's in desperate need of a veteran presence like Boldin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Not to be a NNN (I'm usually not) but it could be a favor for his agent if he's trying to get signed somewhere else. If Beane is trying to get a deal done for another player with the same agent he could host Boldin to make the other team pull the trigger. Happens a lot. I had just heard he wanted to go back to detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I've wanted the Bills to bring him in all offseason. Glad it's happening. At one time he was among the elite WR's in the NFL. He's obviously not the player that he used to be, but he could definitely still comtribute to Buffalo's WR corps IMO, and could potentially be a good veteran mentor for our younger receivers/players. I don't see where it'd hurt the Bills locker room to have some more good veteran's in it. Wonder where he would slot in on the depth chart?
