Royale with Cheese Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 we have like 7 linebackers, 6 DTs and what seems like 2 DEs. So... if anyone can play end... that'd be good Ryan Davis and Lorenzo Alexander can play defensive end. McDermott likes versatility. That essentially gives us 4 defensive ends (Lawson, Hughes, Davis, Alexander). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan4 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 This is unanimously a good decision, right? I can't think of a reason not to sign him. Unless they gave him some ridiculous money/term, which I don't see happening, I can't see any down side to signing him. I've wanted Boldin all offseason, so I'm really hoping it gets done. But even if it doesn't, it seems pretty clear that OBD is most likely going to make an addition to the WR corps between now and the start of the season. I'm sure there will be some good WR's available between now and then. It'd be nice to get a quality guy like Boldin in before training camp though.

Blokestradamus Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 This is unanimously a good decision, right? I can't think of a reason not to sign him. I'd pay him vet minimum just to play 20 snaps per game as a run blocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point in FA, you know what the guy wants financially. You know what you want his role to be. If it isn't a fit for whatever reason, isn't that something you find out before they come in?

BillsFan4 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I agree. Not impressed with the new GM so far. Seriously? What's there not to be impressed with yet? Because Maclin chose Flacco and a Baltimore team he felt was more competitive and just won a Super Bowl in 2012 over a Buffalo team that hasn't even seen the playoffs in almost 2 decades? (him not signing here had nothing to do with the GM, go read Maclin's comments in why he chose Baltimore). And because we didn't sign Boldin yet? Seems like some silly reasons not to be impressed with our GM... Look at the front office/personnel/scouting staff Beane put together. How can you not be impressed by that? Really, there's not even close to enough to judge Beane on one way or another yet. But from listening to him talk and looking at the staff he's assembled, I don't really understand how someone could not be impressed with him, unless they're just looking for reasons not to like him (IMO anyway).

If OBD is turning into the frugal Bills, they better be the best drafters in the NFL, for an organization staring at 18 years of no playoffs. Now that's not on the new regime, but it isn't a good sign for the fanbase not to get Boldin in here. Maclin, who had other suiters, I can see, but not this one.

BillsFan4 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 There's a long way to go before the season starts. Let's wait and see what happens, yeah? There's plenty of time to add to the WR corps. Who knows, we may still sign Boldin yet, too. It's not like we had a great passing game the last couple years, so drawing in any good FA wide receivers may not be the easiest task right now, until they prove that they will pass their receivers the ball more. Buffalo ran more than they passed, pretty sure they were the only team in the NFL to do so. That may contribute to WR's not putting Buffalo at the top of their list. I don't want them to overpay an aging player just to force a signing, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
