Concerning TD putting the ball in Price's court:
PFW: Does this set the stage for Price’s exit from Buffalo?
Holbrook: It certainly looks that way. As Donahoe said, it’s really up to Price at this point. If he wants to be paid like a No. 1 receiver, he’ll have to go elsewhere since the Bills are in the midst of paying Moulds, an All-Pro, a six-year, $40 million deal. If Price decides he likes his situation in Buffalo, playing with a top-flight quarterback like Bledsoe and serving as a key component to an explosive offense, the Bills would love to have him back — at the right price.

PFW: Is Price better off somewhere else?
Holbrook: I don’t think so. It’s curious to me that Price had his best season in a contract year. He made positive strides his first three seasons but was still an underachiever until this past season when he found himself working with skilled players like Bledsoe, Moulds and RB Travis Henry. I think Price is an outstanding No. 2 receiver, but not a No. 1. He needs someone like Moulds to draw the main focus of a defense and allow Price to work against a No. 2 or No. 3 corner and exploit that matchup.

PFW: Can the Bills overcome the loss of Price?
Holbrook: I think they can. They’re very high on WR Josh Reed, who showed flashes of brilliance as a rookie last season. He’s a former running back who’s tough and showed an ability to catch nearly everything thrown his way. The Bills would need to find a productive third receiver for depth, but with Bledoe, Moulds and Henry as the core of this offense, the Bills are in good shape.

This guy Holbrook seemed to be trying to make the point that, yes Price can go somewhere else and make more money but his best chance for success would be in Buffalo. His secondary point was that the Bills would still be in good shape on offense even if Price did leave. I like his points.
