Dibs Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Coles is 31 and Holt is 32. Give me Holt! Holt is due for $8mil this season.....and becomes a FA next season. Therefore we would have to re-work his contract which I'd imagine would be around the 4 year, $7mil/year level. Coles is bound to be quite a bit cheaper.....and is a FA. That being said, I wouldn't have a problem going for Holt. Many teams have two highly paid & good WRs on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyDingo Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Pace has a huge contract ... he is also not young (by NFL std's) ... no thanks I know some girl who got an NFL std from Ron Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Maybe Miami makes a push for Holt. He would seem like the #1 WR they would be looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 the latest news on rotoworld says that Holt is a candidate to be released Yes that's been rumored for a few weeks now. That's why I don't think we'd have to cough up a lot in terms of trade compensation. The Rams probably want to get something for him rather than nothing. A low round pick might get it done and might be worth it if we didn't have to bid for him in the open market. Of course either way he probably will cost a bit of money. Well tomorrow's shaping up as another possibly interesting day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonidas Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 If Holt is seriously a candidate to be released then give up a late round draft pick for him (6th or 7th) and work out a new 3-4 year deal with him. Everyone on this board is clamoring for the Bills to sign Coles - Coles isn't the receiver Holt is, and never was. Holt has always been bigger (well, only by an inch), faster, and plain better than Coles: 1,000 yard seasons: Holt 8, Coles 3 TD's: Holt 74 (over 10 seasons), Coles 44 (over 9 seasons) average per catch over last two seasons: Holt 12.643, Coles 11.968 catches: Holt 869 (over 10 seasons), Coles 631 (over 9 seasons) This isn't even close.

davefan66 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 If we trade for Holt then I don't see us trading for Waters. I think it would simply be too many draft picks. If I had to choose, I would rather sign Coles and trade for Waters, rather than getting Holt and not getting a Guard Not using the "madden mentality", but I would rather deal a draft pick and have a known entity for 2 to 3 years instead of an unknown for 4 years and let him go. Using the Cutler situation as an example, I would rather the Bills send our 1st to the Broncos, then have them spend twice as much on an unknown high round 1 draft pick. At least with the established vet, you know what you got. Concerning Holt, if he is really available for a 6th pick, and the Bills want him, I would gladly pay that to acquire his rights than duke it out with the rest of the NFL to sign him.

My Friends Call Me Tebucky Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Holt is not a good fit for the Bills- he goes deep, or he catches a 5 yard slant. He's a good player, don't get me wrong...just not a good compliment to Evans. The Bills need a receiver that can get open 10-20 yards downfield, not necessarily run a skinny post or a quick slant over the middle. They have a great deep threat, they have capable possession guys...they need an intermediate threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipster19 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Doesn't Holt have bad knees? Yes. The guy has played in a dome, Coles would be a better fit. I wouldn't get too excited over this thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPicc2114 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 When is there actually going to be a young player with a nice future ahead of him released? Everyone that is being let go by teams right now are old players who eat up a lot of cap space and are not even a hint of what they used to be.

StupidNation Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Some of the shortest arms I have ever seen, even in key late game situations.If I thought the Bills were even remotely close to contending for a playoff spot I wouldn't want that scaredy-cat anywhere near this roster because it would be inevitable that he pulls up and bails on a route in the 4th qrtr of a tight game. As it is I would still much rather have a draft pick that might turn into something down the road rather than have Holt. But with so little faith in this front office to utilize those assets wisely, if they want to deal for her, so be it. When was the last time you've seen Lee make a catch in traffic or in the middle of the field. Lee is Mr Captain Short Arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that whenever somebody starts to criticize Holt (and barely anybody does), he just goes right back to polishing his Superbowl ring. But no, clearly he's a cancer to any playoff team.

lets_go_bills Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Tory Holt can still play. I would rather have him than Coles, actually. Holt is still great and would be an awesome possession receiver opposite Evans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBud Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Holt I would consider. Pace I would skip on. His footwork has degraded drastically over the past couple of years, plus he has been nicked up the past couple as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poeticlaw Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Torry Holt would look great in a Buffalo Bills uniform! Report: Rams shopping Pace and Holt Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post Dispatch reports that league sources are convinced the Rams are shopping both left tackle Orlando Pace and wide receiver Torry Holt. The report says that once the early free agent buying spree calms down, there may be a market for Pace and Holt even if it is a mid to late-round pick. Now that coles is out of the picture lets make it happen!!!! For Holt at the very least! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satx_bills_fan Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Now that coles is out of the picture lets make it happen!!!! For Holt at the very least! I'd put the odds on Holt playing for the bills at something around 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock'em Sock'em Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Getting Holt would remind me a lot of when the Bills got James Lofton. Both were 7-time pro-bowlers with their original teams (Lofton for the Packers). I think Holt has one year at $6.5M left on his current contract.

Cool, and while he's doing that I'll pop in a video of him bailing out of dozens of routes cuz' he's scared to get touched. Sounds like a fun evening!
