Methinks if that were the case they would have done this over a month ago and the only reason they did it now is because we are out of the playoffs.

Releasing KB is addition by subtraction. Use those snaps on better younger players. Holmes is the same, although Holmes didn't seem to have a bad attitude like KB he is what he is at this point (A Jag) and given his age he isn't likely going to amount to more than he is.

KB giving up on routes all day vs Miami--including one that lead to an INT--was the final straw.

Hard to imagine given the season, but this was by far his worst effort. We were talking during the game on how he was coasting through routes.

Long time coming IMO.  If the alligator arms on what should have been a TD catch didn't do it then I suspect the coaches took a long hard look at Allen's 2nd INT and came to the conclusion that had KB ran his route aggressively then there wouldn't have been an INT there. 

 

As an aside, right after Jones first TD catch against Miami someone posted on the game thread that on that play KB ran his route then seemed to be heading out the side of the end zone to go get something at the concession stands.  When I watched the replay it actually looked like that was what he was doing!

 

Good riddance - a clear case of addition by subtraction.

Dude, your first name has an L in it....Should have been the first sign by Beane that Kevin was going to be a loser.

Are we gonna hash this again?

 

here we go: watkins was injured and a prima donna admitted by himself two years in a row, Glass Goodwin was injured with slightest contact, Hogan is Just another Jag, and finally, Woods, I must admit I was wrong.

 

Screw you Peter Berkes.

Great all around move by McBean. Good stuff! I wonder who they have in mind to bring in to fill those spots. Didint the Charges just release a former 1st round pick who started for them at LT? Barksdale?

All around would include the 3rd round pick we gave up for Benjamin. It was an obvious, necessary move. A failed trade in the end , though.

I'm sure he will suddenly "find his groove" if signed by New England, but i have no respect for any NFL player who half ***** it like he did.   Dont let the door hit your ass on the way out Kelvin.

 

 

...LOL...."his groove" and "Belichick's grove" are wider than the Grand Canyon...

Benjamin, a first-round pick of the Panthers in 2014, was in the final season of his rookie contract and was scheduled for unrestricted free agency in March. Any team claiming Benjamin off waivers would owe him the remaining portion of his $8.5 million base salary this season. If he is not claimed off waivers, the Bills would owe Benjamin the remainder of his fully guaranteed salary.- Per ESPN

Don’t give McBeane to much credit; as we could have benched him and let him go as an unrestricted free agent.

Christmas comes early. I’m glad they made a point to release KB, his level of effort is an insult to the rest of the lockeroom. 

Him backing off on that pass at the goal line may have been all they had to see. The previous poster was spot on. Addition by subtraction.

But...why now?  I mean, why even bother?  It's not like they need the roster spots.  

Maybe seeing what they have in house is better than having a crappy attitude on the team. Even if those in house guys are from the practice squad.

Yet another statement move that was correct, in my opinion. You cannot allow play like he has put on display to go on. Coach accordingly and if he still ignores it’s time to part ways. 

 

Good move by the organization. Him quitting was unforeseeable.
