Lesean McCoy cut!

We are now a north south running team...and I like that. 

 

This is a great point.  Maybe McCoy's east-west running style didn't gel well with the offensive line blocking schemes, where a north-south runner will thrive.

way to disrupt the locker room right before Week 1 for absolutely no reason other than saving a few million 

 

what a ***** joke. We already had one of the least talented offenses in the league with Mccoy now we basically have a bottom 5 offense again. 

He was the worst starting RB in the league last year.  How do we get worse.

It’s a terrible contract unless you think he’s still an elite back. I hoped Houston might have bit in a Clowney package. I suspect that may have been why we didn’t see the cut sooner.

 

ive been saying for months he’s got to go because of it. It was common sense that you can’t pay him top 5 money for anything but elite production. Especially with a stable of serviceable players.

He was the entire offense for most of his time here. It's a tough business. People should keep things like this in mind when they question players for trying to cash in when they have the chance.

Too old to be making that much $. If we were shopping him, and it looks like we were, any interested team figured we'd release him. Now they can sign him cheaper and no loss of draft picks.

So you're ok with older than dirt gore??

It’s not a surprise that the Bills cut running back LeSean McCoy. It is a surprise that they did so without trying to get him to take a pay cut.

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the release of McCoy came “out of left field,” with no attempt by the team to get him to take less money.

  No surprise.  McCoy's best years were behind him and the Bills had plenty of guys who are just getting started.  If we had a poor draft and FA period then most assuredly Shady would have a roster spot on opening day.  As it was we were sending guys off who will be playing for somebody else soon.
