This trade needs the proper context. Instead of picking TJ Graham, we could’ve had a Superbowl win plus 2 1st rounds, 2 2nd rounders, Shelby Harris, Noah Fant, and Drew Lock (who could’ve been our backup going into 2022).
His agents know he’ll likely get less on the open market than what he is making now. So it’s in Beasely’s best interest to secure a trade. The Bills don’t have to accept it though. Lots of moving parts here. The Bills are probably just fairly comfortable cutting him though. The trade request is all Beas.
Please let the adults talk.
The original argument was that the Bills don’t have openings on their roster for rookies to make an impact. This was and is simple not true. We had openings last year and still do this year. They continue to be: 2 IOL, CB2, and TE2. There’s only 2 entrenched starters on the OL: Morse and Dawkins. Everything else is fair game and in need of an upgrade. Addison and Hughes are likely gone as well. 2 more potential openings. Will Edmunds go too? Another opening.
You said we didn’t have holes for rookies to have an impact. Then, you ask “Where was a rookie gonna come in and make a big impact on this team?” Now, you have listed 2. I’ll add 2 more positions a rookie could’ve excelled at on our team: CB2 and IOL. That’s at least 4-5 positions. We even have people on here saying we’re thin at WR and need to draft one in the 1st. You really think we have few holes?
Are you suggesting we didn’t have any needs last season nor having any current needs heading into the coming draft? We definitely could’ve used impact players on the D line, our OL was in shambles for half the season, and we also played without a starting CB half the season too. There’s definite holes on our team.
