If he were to sign, I wouldn't be happy about the signing. The goal is to bring a championship to Buffalo & signing a soon to be 37 year old WR does nothing to reach that goal. The Bills will not be Super Bowl contenders this season. All Boldin would do is take away development time, if not a roster spot as well, that would be better served developing a young WR who may actually play a role on a future championship team. It would be as worthwhile as TO's year with the Bills.
If we sign him and Tyrod still sucks, maybe we can finally stop using the excuse that he has no one to throw to and get a real QB next year.

What's wrong about this post is the underlined part. Who exactly is he taking time away from? No current WR not named Watkins or Jones is going to be here next year at this time. Boldin would be, basically, a 3rd WR with Jones & Watkins as the #1 & #2 so he's taking developmental time away from no one important.
Boldin won't be expensive, relatively.
About $2.5 million for a year, probably. Not all that much, guaranteed.
May as well pick him up. I'm for it.

All of you QB nut-huggers can think what you want but it was Boldin that put that Raven's team on his back and carried them to a Super Bowl, not Flacco. I'd take experience like that, if even for only one season, in a heartbeat.

Well, when you're thin at wide receiver....

Apart from Zay Jones, I don't think there is a lot of development that Buffalo expects from young receivers on this team. We know what Watkins can do when healthy. The rest of the receivers are 3rd and 4th tier guys who have a limited ceiling regardless of how much playing time they get. If there were a bunch of youngsters tugging at the bit for playing time, I might be hesitant about using a roster spot for a 37 year old veteran, but I think what the Bills gain is greater than what they risk. I think Boldin can be a steadying influence on the field and probably can teach the young receivers a few things they haven't learned.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

Recent golf outing with Beane dip (inside joke):
I figured this would go overlooked and silence the masses, who am I talking to again M-Fers ?? I'm talking to the man and the powers that be. So anyone even mentioning **** should get a life, I don't post many photos as well so get a life.

If Sammy comes up limping again on his bad hoof, we'll be happy he's here.
Insurance and experience at a position of question marks outside of a promising Rookie.
Lots. Considering that our WR coach is Jones college coach there is a lot he'll need to learn about the Pro game v. College game. Boudin will have scouting reports in his head on a lot of the DB's that the Bills will play and will be able to teach Jones intricacies of how to set up certain DB's for a double move, what one CB or S may show to tip you off to zone v. man coverage or a potential blitz. The nuances of the game are integral for a young guy to learn and a lot of time the coaches don't have the time to go into that level of detail with every player on the squad.
Also consider that our WR coach has only been the top WR coach for a year and a half.
COMING SOON...

Bills really kicking the tires on Anquan Boldin. He was seen with Bills handler at UB Orthopedics. @news4buffalo
