He's not owed a roster bonus. If we cut him now with a post-June1, we don't realize the higher cap savings until...post-June 1. Beane likes to go into the draft with the "holes" in the roster filled. Cutting Star right now (pre or post June1) would serve no useful purpose. 2 Quote

Alphadawg7 Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 its a shame he is leaving the Bills in a weird divided state where some are grateful for his time here and bummed to him and go, and others are excited to see him go and can't stand him. Coles deserves some appreciation for what he truly did for this team: Played his heart out on the field, played tough for his small stature, and made a LOT of critical plays that led to us winning a lot of games. Played hurt, on a broken leg, for this team in the playoffs leaving everything on the field. Was instrumental in Josh's development, said by Josh himself, by always being in his ear non stop analyzing plays in practice or games, what Josh was seeing, what Cole was seeing, etc etc. Was a great locker room guy and teammate according to just about everyone in the locker room. I get there is controversy around him because of what he decided to be vocal about and how he went about it on social media. But putting that aside, he was a great signing and played a key role for this offense and for Josh. And for that, I will be forever grateful to you Beasley despite hard disagreements with a lot of your personal opinions and beliefs. Best of luck to you where ever you land. 7 1 2 4 2 Quote

Cutting Star right now (pre or post June1) would serve no useful purpose. As I said, he is not part of the plan. the FO is respected in the league because of taking care of players. They could just due it now, and know their money for the draft picks is coming June 1. And continue signing players while maintaining the respect of taking care of players that clearly are not in their plans. Quote
MrEpsYtown Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) Adam Humphries. Similar type of agility, 4 years younger, so if you project his production it is on par with Beasley. Much cheaper without all the drama. A process guy who we were in on a few years ago before he went to the Titans. He is also a little bigger with better short are quickness. Perfect replacement. also a former Commie, so makes him kind of like a former Panther. Also some YAC ability Edited March 17, 2022 by MrEpsYtown 1 1 Quote

Rico Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Happy trails. I was smh when we signed him, and he FAR exceeded my expectations. 3 Quote
BuffaloBills1998 Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 With the emergence of Davis and the resigning of McKenzie this had to happen. Especially since Beasley’s production slipped quite a bit last season. Wish Cole good luck and all the best. Once a Buffalo Bill always a Buffalo Bill Quote

No need to jump the gun if it isnt going to count until June 1 anyways. 1 Quote
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 I'm just going to say: no disrespect to Cole but our D-line needs Von Miller in a way that our WR group just doesn't need Beasley. Is Beasley is a casualty of a much more dire need, I have to say it's worth it. 2 Quote
Nextmanup Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 I'm thinking of Beane' recent public comment: "No reason not to expect him back next year" or words to that effect... And folks still hang on the publicly spoken words of sports management as though they are telling the truth at all times.... 🤔 1 Quote

Would you be willing to take a hit on that by holding someone on your roster to rot until June 1st? Quote
Captain Hindsight Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Loved Beasley on the field. I’m sure he will land somewhere. He’s still an effecting target Quote

The one thing nobody can question is that he gave everything he had for this team, every time he stepped on the field - exactly the kind of player Bills fans have historically loved. 1 2 Quote
John Adams Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Great run with the Bills. If I had a young QB, I would pick him up. Nice safe outlet. No YAC but will get those big 3-4 yards when you need them. 1 2 Quote

I really hope we can find someone who can find gaps in the zone like he could Yeah me too. Will always be grateful for what he brought to the team and have great memories of the many key plays he made. Such a shame that the whole Covid thing happened and the tone changed this year. This little comment by McKenzie on OBL kinda sums it up best. Best of luck #11 wherever you suit up next (unless it's NE). Quote
May Day 10 Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Good Buffalo Bill and a good contributor on a few special teams. time to move on though Quote
Success Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 LOVED watching him as a Bill. Never anything but 100% effort on the field - and one of the most clutch players we've had. Best of luck to him. I'll root for him wherever he goes (well, except the team that shall not be named). 5 Quote

As you pointed out. Obviously (although this could change at literally any second), at this time, they want to keep Star around as a 1Tech candidate. 1 Quote
