bisonbrigade Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 He can teach a lot of things to Watkins and Jones which will help them. Good signing. Jones = younger Boldin hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackOrton Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I thought that they'd have to cut Holmes and Hauschka to get that comp pick? Holmes and Ducasse, I thought. Could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Â He's 36. Foolish to sign him to more than a 1-year deal. Â That is why I stated bonuses at Bills options for each additional year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 He'll never sign with the Bills. Oh wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Boldin will be 37yrs old in 2 months. Â Plus, they report r that he backed out of a deal with the Bills last week. Maybe it was him who didn't want a multi year deal. Â A 1 year deal seems right in this scenario. If things go well for him here and he performs, it should be a lot easier to convnice him to sign on for another year. But if things don't go well or his performance starts to quickly decline at 37yrs old the Bills are not locked in for longer. As I stated a bonus due each year at BILLS' OPTION to keep him.

LA Grant Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Watkins' production since he was drafted:   Boldin's production since Sammy was drafted:   Sammy, you were drafted with two first-round picks — you better not let a guy in his late-30s continue to out-perform you!

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) Holmes and Ducasse, I thought. Could be wrong. Â I think ryan davis too. I don't think zach brown was signed during the window. Â Any of these guys can be brought back though.

HappyDays Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Â I really do not like 1 year deals for someone like this. If he is good enough to sign then sign a multi year deal with bonuses each year at option to team. If he works out then you have to go thru the whole negotiation process again.

Kirby Jackson Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Holmes and Ducasse, I thought. Could be wrong.If that's the case it's a no-brainer IMO. Keep Streater and Mudge (or go with 3 interior OL and PS Mudge). Take the 3rd round pick. Â I think ryan davis too. I don't think zach brown was signed during the window.

BillsFan4 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 As I stated a bonus due each year at BILLS' OPTION to keep him. If he previously backed out of a 1 year deal with the Bills, and it took him this long to sign for just a year, I don't see any circumstance where Boldin agree to a team option on his deal, especially being in the very twilight of his career. Â Â A team option on the deal would have been nice, I agree. But I just don't see any way Boldin signed on for that (unless the team option was for a completely ridiculous salary that he just couldn't refuse, but then that likely makes it harder for the Bills to sign him again next year (IMO) if he does well).

BuffAlone Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Excellent signing. Holmes should be gone imo...he drops alot of balls it seems like, and Streater has good speed and has been getting noticed lately. Overall, I think our WR group has gotten better than last year.

Just in Atlanta Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 This is great news. Immediate impact. We now have three, or even four (Streater...McD really likes him?), above average WR options. Â On another note, I wish we'd start new threads when the news changes. Due to there being a lack of a mobile app option, you have to scroll all the way to the end to get to the last comment. Using this logic, we'd use this thread for all Boldin issues going forward. Â This signing makes me feel good about our offense this year, especially given Watkins' injury history.
