RyanC883 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 this sucks. He was our best WR last year, I think. Blocked, got contested balls, etc. Hopefully we draft a Chark now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deonte might have just wanted to go elsewhere. You really think he was worth 3.5 million in cap space when we have so little and so many needs. He was a good wr4-5 but not worth 3.5 Million when you have little cap to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) My guess is that both teams were offering a 1-yr deal and even if the Bills matched that or offered a bit more, he will be a FA again next year and there is simply more opportunity for him to get a bigger deal next year after playing in Dallas due to the difference in QB situations. I’ve said it over and over that the Bills will not be able to sign a decent WR in FA without a QB. Unless they massively overpay. No agent will recommend their client come to this offense at this point in time. That is why the KB trade was so critical and the Zay situation is so brutal. They will need to acquire this position through trade and draft until a QB who throws the ball is in place.

TheBrownBear Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Consider that we picked him off the scrap heap in the middle of the season. I trust the Beane can find a comparable option for same price or cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 That's too bad. With all the craziness that is going on with Zay and losing Matthews and Deonte, addressing the WR position all of a sudden just GOT REAL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a good wr4-5 but not worth 3.5 Million when you have little cap to spend. Our WR options are now KB, Zay, and Andre Holmes. Being that he was our speed guy and was somewhat productive last year, yes I think he is worth 3.5. This team is sorely lacking in the receiving core. No matter who we bring in, they are going to cost money and cut into the cap. I would rather spend on a guy that I know can be productive, rather than hope the draft gives us a solid option. Also, considering we might sell a ton of picks to move up, our WR options could be limited to a late round selection.

YoloinOhio Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 I really think the Bills should take another look at Maclin. I’m not sure how much he wants but if he was truly considering the Bills last year he might still have some interest regardless of QB. He’s very tight with Shady. I know he’s not what he used to be but frankly we need to be realistic on our options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I don't want Dansby and why Maclin can f off and sit at home. Just my 2 cents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
