I can’t help but think Beane has a great relationship w/ Browns GM and Coleman was going to be cut outright but Dorsey, liking Beane and knowing the Bills WR depth chart, called him and said if you are interested just give me something so you don’t have to compete against the rest of the league when he is cut. Beane returned the favor by picking up the salary, regardless of how minimal it may have been.
Sometimes it’s good for GM’s to have these sort of relationships.
