Cutting him after June 1 opened up 10.9 million this year and another 9.1 million next. 20 million in cap--pretty easy decision.
They don't pay RBs for YPC. 22% of his carries were for 1st downs. 12TDs. The Bills would have killed for that from the starter they also cut...
22nd in the league, plus 12 TDs (tied for 4th among RBs, 5th among all players)---as you point out, a backup.
After 4 years of mediocrity, Singletary was dumped.
You're struggling to make a cogent point here.
The Rams had a wealthier owner. He built his own stadium in a better town.
The Bill stayed because their owner knew he would get a publicly funded new stadium.
Beane had to fork over the highest guaranteed money in league history at the time to get that deal with Allen done.
That other QBs got paid more subsequently isn't due to Beane's contract skills.
Yup more reps, more touches did the trick. I'd take the occasional drops, given the 17+ per catch and production: 88% of his receptions were for 1st downs or TDs.
