Lesean McCoy cut!


Recommended Posts

Lots of reasons (including informed speculation) that can support/explain this move. Just based on what our backs brought to the table as a committee I felt pretty confident that our run game would be diversified and effective. I think it will be less effective now and I feel that it has taken a significant step back. A strong running game is important to Allen's development.  Maybe McCoy's background as the feature back made the committee approach impossible. I think he can still play and look forward to seeing how he makes out this year.

Is that true? The reports are that they didn’t even try to lower his number so they could keep him around. 

He probably wasn't interested. He can play for someone else for a lower salary in a week or so . . . someone who didn't require him to take a pay cut to be on the team.

Gore is going to be injured by week 3 and we will be completely *****. Allen will have to throw the ball 40 times per game and we will end up with 4-6 wins this season 

 

:lol:  That's the spirit! Whine like a 9-year-old about a move you're unable to understand, and then create a new scenario so you have something else to whine about.

 

Yeesh, man, get yourself some breakfast and a nap.

This is surprising not so much from a football standpoint but from a PR standpoint. I'm not sure how players/agents will be able to trust Beane going forward. He was pretty emphatic in his guarantees that Shady would be here.

 

I guess Shady and Gore really were in a competition for the job.

 

 

Meh.  Publicly.  We don't know what was said privately.

 

But the public statements gave everyone including the fans the impression he was still a viable RB and that helps his value on the open market now.  

 

Not sure this makes the FO looks bad at all.  But I do question why we need Yeldon.

we will start the season 1-6 and frank gore will retire 

 

then Beane/Mcdermott look like the biggest clowns in the NFL 

 

 

More super crazy talk here...

 

The Bills will go 1-6 because they cut a back who averaged 3.2 yards a carry last year!  That will cause the bottom to fall out and they will be one of the worst teams in the NFL now.

 

Super nuts.

I found it a little interesting that Singletary didn't play much last night. Can't imagine he's going anywhere. I'm 99% sure shady won't be here in a week. 

Eat crow for those that laughed at me ;)

Same here.    And I expect Shady to be really, really motivated, like he was when he fist came here...

This is what I don't understand.  How was this about money if there is no issue with our cap space.  

Maybe it was more about roster spot.

 

We can only have 53 you know.

Good call. It is kind of a shock that Shady is gone, but there comes a time to move on...the best players in the here and now have to start. There has also been alot of talk about performance vs salary...it is just time to move on!

With Clay & MCCoy gone this is like the final remnants from the Rex Ryan era gone.  

 

It really is fully McDermott's & Beane's show.  All praise and or blame is on them this and possibly next year  

 

 

No, once we get that scumbag Reid Ferguson out of here...?

 

jk.

 

did Shaq make the team?  That would leave 3 including Lorax.

I drafted Shady on Wed :(

 

Why? What facts and objective information made you do that?

 

I too had hope that he could have a rebound year, but it seems like a bad move unless it was in a late round, a big risk.

it's the last year of his deal. How does this get us it to cap "hell"?

Having multiple, overpaid under performing aging players will do that.. 

 

See Dareus, Super Mario, etc. It adds up after awhile. 

 

Beane is being progressive by getting rid of Shady now rather than taking the hit.

What in the world .... McBeane is savage... 

Man i really liked shady... Guess we are following New England's model which is cutthroat.

Belichek has done this for years with cutting players that hit their peak and right before they start declining. While I’ll miss seeing Shady on the team and was hoping he’d rebound this year with a better O-line, I also realize the Bills have a lot of good RBs and someone was going to be released.

You don't think Shady was the best RB? Out of who is left, I don't think any of them can both run and catch as well as he can. I think he was still the top guy, they just got cheap. This is why contracts mean nothing and holdouts are the new norm.

Lol me too.  Sigh.  On the bright side, he might have more value with another team.

 

this move is puzzling to me.  Love me some McBeane but if we keep Yeldon and cut shady, confusion will ensue
