transplantbillsfan Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Started to think we might actually keep him, but this really became inevitable once we granted him permission to seek a trade. Quote
ChevyVanMiller Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 I wish him well. He played with great heart and will be missed. 4 1 2 Quote

Hoping the window is not 100% closed on Beasely returning on a much cheaper 1 year deal. 2 1 1 Quote
Steptide Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 I really wanted him to be here this season, thought he could make a good bounce back, but I understand the move. This makes me think even more the bills go WR in round 1 or 2 1 Quote

ALLEN1QB Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) Wonder if another team will give him a SHOT. Edited March 17, 2022 by ALLEN1QB 1 3 Quote

Bangarang Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Cole was good for Josh and this offense but he’s not what this offense needs anymore. I hope this means McKenzie gets a bigger role. 1 Quote

MJS Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 He was a good player for the Bills. Good luck to him. 4 4 1 Quote
KingBoots8 Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Honestly, thank you Cole. You came up big more times than I can remember on 3rd down. Heck of a player, but this is the sad side of the business. Good luck. 7 2 1 1 Quote
Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 9 minutes ago, The Jokeman said: I hope we have a vet in mind to replace him, I was good releasing him with McKissic in the fold but now that we don't we need to find a veteran to replace him. I'd be okay with a one year rental and drafting a kid to develop yet I'm not 100% sold on McKenzie and a rookie alone filling the role especially with no Manny Sanders too. McKissic was not a replacement for Beasley. He was a back with great hands and strong YAC. I think it's possible that Dorsey and Brady want to make more use of TE in the short/intermediate passing game. 1 Quote

He may have lost some speed...hard to tell really. His opportunities weren't as plentiful week in week out in 2021. Guy still had great hands...clutch 3rd down receiver. That isn't something that is so easy to replace. Edited March 17, 2022 by Buftex 1 2 Quote

Don't be surprised if he ends up with one of the AFC West powerhouses as they all have QB's and offenses that would love to add a player like him to the mix especially Josh McDaniels and his fetish for pesky slot type of guys like Edleman/Welker/etc. Quote
TOboy Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Mixed emotions on this one. At times he was an ass. But the guy played his heart out, produced, and showed up even when injured. He undoubtedly helped in Josh’s development and was a part of our evolution as a team. Wish him well wherever he lands. 1 Quote
nucci Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 kinda think he wants to go to a team that will use him more. I'll miss him though. He was really good 1 1 3 Quote
Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 7 minutes ago, Jauronimo said: He was amazing in 2020. Absolutely unreal. He caught everything around him and made so many clutch grabs. 2021, not so much. I believe he played with broken ribs much of the season which can't be fun but it really looked like he lost a step. The insane separation he used to get and the automatic YAC wasn't there. He was still a dependable chain mover but he had a few drops. Probably unfair to compare his performance against 2020 but its a natural thing to do. Time to get younger and more explosive. Even before he broke his ribs, the intermediate passing game wasn't there. Defenses had come up with a plan against it and they rode it until we showed they couldn't. He was a huge contributor to Josh's development and to our offense the last 3 years. Small shoes, but a big role to fill somehow!!! 2 5 Quote
