Legitimately asking, why did he get cut and why has he been sitting around for a month?

He called out his racist owner stephen ross in MIA publicly and they shipped him to HOU

 

Then the great bill obrien cut him / contract issues this year after he hurt his thigh

 

ITs a good signing - ran a 4.38. hes not big but he wins 50/50 balls and is going to run go routes to take coverage away for diggs and brown

I get the concern by some that this may reflect on the health of Cole or Smoke.

 

Don't see how it would have anything to do with Beasley. Stills has played in the slot but that is not his primary role. If Beasley is out for a couple weeks we'll see McKenzie take those snaps, or put Diggs at the slot more than usual. Stills is coming in to be veteran depth as an outside receiver.

Davis will take the snaps over McKenzie.  Davis's preferred spot would actually be in the slot.

There no player that can replace Beasleys knowledge and synergy with Allen. 

 

Beasley out will be huge.

Definitely a big hit, but if we go 4-wide with Diggs-Stills-Davis-Brown, along with the assumption that Allen may run more... good luck defending that. 

[HardyBoy]

Could this be because there are unlimited practice squad call ups in the playoffs and Beane is a jedi?

[YoloinOhio]

This would be GREAT signing for playoff time. Regardless of what it could mean about bease, I also am not sure they trust Davis downfield unless he’s wide open. He can’t even draw a DPI. Stills is a legit starting WR who is a vet and had played in big games.

Dr. Chao a great twitter follow and former team doctor of the Chargers, said Beasley's injury looked like a foot sprain and he should be good to go for playoffs.  This guy doesn't bat 100% with his diagnosis predictions, but hes right a lot, so this gave me some hope he'll be alright.

 

I think we might be seeing an increase in 4 & 5 WR sets come playoff time, Stills will fit in nicely.  Probably has much more reliable hands than Knox or Davis.

It could be. We've had 2 of 3 starting WR's injured heading into the playoffs. Depth was needed.

Bill O’Brien was fired on October 5th, Stills was cut November 27th.

Would be a lot harder without Beasley. Honestly what he does to find the soft spot or help Allen in tight spots cannot be replicated unfortunately. We need him back against a formidable defense.

[Steptide]

I'm 100% on board. Even if it just takes coverage off of brown and Diggs 

[Moulds 808080]

How long does he have to sit out for Covid protocols?

I think we're in agreement. My point is that this is a smart move, bringing in another weapon as we maximize our playoff opportunity.

Beasley injury more serious plus maybe they dont know if John Brown will be ready

Do we know if brown has COVID?  Might not be just a Beasley thing - could be to protect from Brown being sidelined, too.

Can be added "allowed entry" on the 6th day of negative testing.

In essence, bease draws coverage so teams can’t double Diggs. Without him, we at least need smoke. But what if both get hurt? Davis and Roberts ain’t it. This is win or go home. Adding another legit offensive weapon at this point who knows what he’s doing...

Not sure how the offseason goes, but i bet dudes will be lining up to want to catch passes from Josh Allen.  

 

Stills was decent as i recall. But no one has the great hands and shiftiness of Beasley.
