Bills sign Mack Hollins

Who were you expecting?

 

Not much given their money situation. Resign some of their own which they did. The draft was going to be where the Bills were going to improve their roster.

Agreed. They do have to fill reserve and special team players.

 

I think we all know the Bills are going with a WR in the first couple rounds of this draft….and maybe 2 in the first three or four rounds.

I knew our money situation was bad, but I didnt know it was MACK HOLLINS bad. Christ.

 

In all seriousness, what is your problem with this signing?  He's been a career STer, he's put up some numbers when he got the chance.  New Jake Kumerow or Trent Sherfield candidate.  Sounds like he's got a bit of a screw loose, which is right on point for a guy who might play gunner.

We couldn't get Michael Thomas on a small 1 year prove it deal for $2 or $3 million? I don't think any team would even invest higher than $5 million in him at this point 

 

Generally when a guy's most recent contract was 1 year, $10M and he's got a $2.2M roster bonus already due to him, the answer to that question is gonna be "no".

 

FWIW, Spotrac suggests a market value of $9.2M for Michael Thomas, and if you don't think any team would invest higher than $5M, that kind of implies some team just might invest $5M, which means he won't sign for $2 or $3M early in FA.

We all knew or suspected the Bills would have to retool the roster around Allen this offseason. Many of the core guys these past few years are getting older so it was time to get younger which is what the Bills are doing. I am looking forward to the draft with the Bills having so many picks.

I don’t know if he can play football, but he’s right about cats.    😋

 

 

These are the types of signings I expect. Fill holes inexpensively before the draft.

The dude literally didn't play for like 3 straight seasons because of injuries and suspensions. I can't see any team putting that number on him. They would be dumb

It would be a compliment if I said those posters were a Mack Hollins type on this board

Then there's the bit about utensils: "if you can't eat it with your hands, you shouldn't be eating it".

 

He might need to re-think his shoe stance in Buffalo, though.

We better invest a hell of alot more into the WR room than this.  Thank God we still have the draft and Im still holding out hope for someone like Samuel.

 

I would be surprised if they don't go WR in the 1st RD.

Didn't know he was still in the league. This should be vet minimum - hopefully it is just a fill out the 90 move (they did need some receivers for OTAs etc) and he doesn't make the roster. 

 

He may well make the roster as a gunner/STer 5th or 6th WR - why would you have a problem with that?  He's shown he can produce more with a good QB throwing to him than most #5 or 6 WR do.
