Beane anticipates Cole Beasley being back next season

[YoloinOhio]

He talked about his production still being on par with previous seasons even though there were a lot of mouths to feed so to speak. Doesn’t mean anything definitive obviously but interesting nonetheless 

[Process]

Actually watching Beane, it sounded like BS. 

 

My impression based on his response is that Cole won't be a Bill.

[DrDawkinstein]

Of course he is going to say that right now. Doesnt mean it will happen. Lots of things we "expect", dont happen.

Like I said 

[Dr.Mantis_Toboggan]

Hopefully not at that cap figure, especially with a younger slot WR in Crowder as a UFA.  

[Big Turk]

I can't see him being back under the current contract...he saves $6 million on the cap if cut and I would much rather see MacKenzie be signed for $3-4 million and have an extra $2-3 million for something else.

He might be back, he might be gone, but don't think that anything Beane said today has anything to do with it! 

They will do what they will do.

 

Stay tuned.

Crowder was hurt a lot last year but he gave us fits when we played the Jets...had some really big games against us in his career.

Better be a restructure then.  I love Beasley but unless he was playing injured he's lost too much athleticism. Yards after catch really really lacked.

Or Sign an Allen Robinson type (friendly contract incentives based) 3WRs/4WRs would be Robinson, Davis and Diggs/Beasley in the slot.

I think a restructure is all about obvious if he’s back. Cap gymnastics will be rampant.

He job is catch the ball underneath. Which he does

My read is that they’ll make Cole an offer he’ll have to refuse.

lil dirty

[MWK]

He is declining. No thanks. 

[Aussie Joe]

He needs to be replaced before you let him go...I assume for no bigger spend ...

 

 

 

[No_Matter_What]

Well I anticipate (and hope for) something totally different.

 

I liked Cole and he was great for us but I'd move on. Get younger and faster (and/or cheaper).

Thank you. Beasley is under contract, what was Beane supposed to say?

This is true but consider this... he repeated the same 82 catches as last year but instead had 693 years compared to 967 the year prior, he was down to 8.5 YPC the lowest of his career. He is still sure handed with a 73% catch rate, but he had 0 broken tackles this year. 

 

Like I said, I love the guy, but at 32 years old this year and going to be 33 next year, I don't see him getting any more spry unless he was playing injured which is a possibility.  I actually think Diggs was playing hurt this year but that's a different topic. 

 

I like him, but his age and athletic slide is real. His contract isn't bad but I think if he's back it is on a restructure because we can save a lot of money moving on and we have no cap space.

Sanders made $6M, Cole about $7M. They can both be gone, give Dirty $6M, and still save money.
