Bye bye Beasley

[bigbuffs]

Really dislike this move. I was hoping he would restructure and be here next season. Under appreciated and under valued IMO. Guy was clutch on 3rd down and was always putting his body on the line. Good luck Bease

It’s definitely the right move to let him go, but let’s not pretend like this is an easy fill. Beasley has been insanely clutch for this team. We are not a better offense without him even with him on the decline. 

Don't forget about McKenzie's monster game against New England last December.  And also the season finale against Miami in 2020.  McKenzie can make plays when given the chance.  He will be a very solid contributor this coming season, if he can take the pounding. 

 

That being said.  I loved what Beasley did as a Buffalo Bill.  The man was an awesome receiver for us.  But his speed is declining due to injuries.  And that is football.  A big salute to him as a football player.  And also as a person for standing up for his individual rights as an American citizen.  He is a hero for that in many circles.  Maybe not in Western New York.  But where he comes from and many other places, he sure as hell is.

I loved what Beasley brought to this team and I sincerely wish him well.

Yes please. Need a corner. 
 

 

 

I believe $6.1M is the correct figure.

 

Edit: Overthecap still had his contract up.  $7.6M - $1.5M signing bonus = $6.1M saved

Thanks for your service Cole.  It is time to move on though.

I see McKenzie starting in his place but another slot WR should be drafted.

Get that speed guy.

[SoMAn]

Dependable. Rarely dropped passes thrown to him. He was the go-to guy over the middle for first downs.

I'll take that skill over that of the speedster with poor concentration who frequently drops passes in clutch situations. 

 

Still good, but not quite the same after the haircut. 😏

Why....  Can cut him now and call it a June 1 Designation.  

It' doesn't free up the money until then though so there is no point in doing it if we can't sign someone to replace him until then.

No but we havent really tried. Every FA CB we have brought in so far has been for vet depth, not to start.

[skibum]

Kind of a tool, but he always brought his A game on the field. His will be hard shoes to fill.

Sure there is.  He isnt going to play here.  Release him to let him find another team if he TRULY wants to play football again (i dont think he does) that is how FOs maintain respect of players. 

 

He will not be in the Bills uniform in September move on.  You have replacements in Phillips, Jones, Settle the writing is on the wall.

He's lucky they play in Jersey, he can't play in NYC.

You may be disappointed, then. Don't be surprised if they just go with McKenzie.

I think it’s pretty certain they take a slot wr myself, having McKenzie and the rookie compete for the slot role. I can’t see the Bills just rolling with McKenzie, it’s too much of a gamble, and they didn’t pay him like they are going to lean on him. 
 

To be clear, I like McKenzie and would love to see him succeed. I just see the Bills hedging their bets a hit with the slot role.

He reminds me of Rodgers so that’s my guess for landing spot. 
 

Thanks for the memories you leprechaun-looking waterbug separating MFer.

 

Wonder who is faster right now, Beasley or Howard?

[HOUSE]

Did he sign with the Giants yet, it been over 2 hours now

Typically, yes, cut them now and let them find a team.

 

After the BS he pulled with Covid, who cares? 

[WhitewalkerInPhilly]

Not a shock. He did good work for us, but with the moves we've made, the otherwise strong cast of pass catchers now on the roster, and a strong draft class at WR makes this one of the easier calls in my mind.
