thurst44 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Boldin's been one of the true good guys in the league for more than a decade. The Bills shouldn't stand in the way of letting him go out with a contender for the sake of what we all know is going to be another lost season. That said, they should get SOMETHING from NE to allow this to happen, so long as they don't make a ridiculous demand. If NE wants him, a sixth rounder doesn't seem crazy. First off, this is all conjecture. However, as good a guy as he's been, if he lied in a way that made him look heroic, that's messed up and he made his own bed. I'm with you on getting something from NE, but while maybe not a ridiculous demand, they should get a little more than normal for him for their troubles, maybe up that 6th to a 4th. Again, hopefully, this is just a fake story. Also, can we quit it on the woe-is-us "this is a lost season." This team is not as historically bad as most people are making it out to be. They're likely even not bad. Let's try to enjoy the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 Jake Plummer was traded to Tampa and then retired. Never came back Marshawn Lynch doesn't qualify as Seattle got something for his rights Brett Farve you are correct. He retired, came back and was then traded to the Jets. The Jets were stupid and released him and then he signed with the Vikes. I still think its stupid for teams to start releasing retired players. It can set a bad trend in motion with unhappy players retiring and then just going where they want. There is a reason teams still hold rights to players that are retired. Point was this has been set long ago. Players retiring to get what they want. Or not play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likei've Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 See the players NE signs for low money deals. Winning matters more than you think. Yup, so as a division rival that has to face them twice a year. Why don't we help them continue that trend. Silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 When did the Boston Globe sports writers get this much credibility? This is worse than the threads about following Pegula's jet. So a news agency writes something you dont like. Scream Fake News and credibility issues. Guess it is standard in todays America Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xRUSHx Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Misconception about Tyrod had him sign with Buffalo, seen first hand Tyrod in practice and decided to run like hell, I don't blame him. To bad for him Buffalo should own his rights to compensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 If he retired because of Charlottesville he's one of the dumbest mother!@#$ers to ever suit up. What was he going to do? Go do ? to fight the "white supremacist" boogeyman? Two words: Pompous douche. I hope they don't cut this guy loose. The only thing he deserves is the opportunity to learn a lesson.

It's a good thing everyone is thinking about this rationally and not using it to fit whatever narrative they believe is true. So a news agency writes something you dont like. Scream Fake News and credibility issues. Guess it is standard in todays America You're a better poster than this. Use some common sense Bobby. Why does some random Patriots beat writer know that Boldin is secretly contemplating coming out of retirement? Why does no one else have this story? Why was it not reported as the headline, why was it thrown in with a bunch of random crap? Why would Boldin even consider this knowing what that would look like? Nothing about this adds up. Unless you have a narrative you already want to be true, then you can make this story fit. Here in the real world it doesn't make sense.

Again league Source tends to be more right then wrong when it comes to the league.

KDIGGZ Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 EVERYONE saw this coming. Shameful that he used Charlottesville as an excuse to quit on a bad team. I'd trade him for a draft pick otherwise let him stay retired for good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 At this point I'd trade his rights to the Jets for a bag of deflated footballs and last years Geno Smith practice jersey. If he came out and said he was retiring because of a change in focus from what he was promised...fine. But if he was using the horrid acts in Charlottesville as a cover...yea can't respect that.

boyst Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Show me where he said he wants to come back? Thank you! Curious if the BIlls got the $1M signing bonus back...of if he kept it like Harvin kept his last year If I was the Pegula's and McBeane, I would make damn sure I got that money back and everyonein the league knew it . yeah, I don't get it. The story doesn't show that he's itching to come back or Expressed a true statement that he's trying to come back. For the most part this looks like gobbledygook in just a story to have a story Regardless of that he quit and if he quit that easy then he never should have signed to begin with. It was a dirtball move and I have no respect for the man that does that. You sign a contract, and I can get it some things do change but you sign a contract and a week later you're done.

Wayne Arnold Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 The Bills are not beating NE this season, whether or not Boldin is there. We have no chance unless NE has a lot of injuries. All it takes is one bad injury to one specific player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusher Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I'd send him to the Pats for a conditional pick, no sweat. Why not get another asset for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 All it takes is one bad injury to one specific player. .....and we thought NE was an easy W when Brady went down...only to have Cassel step in and go 11-5....amazingly, they MISSED the playoffs....

simpleman Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I still maintain the Sammy trade was his clue to get the hell out of Buffalo because he knew they weren't going all out to win in '17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Arnold Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 He looked old and slow in the Eagles game. He's never been fast. He uses his intelligence/experience, physicality and superior hands to make receptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
