Yeah, one consistency we have seen from McBeane is that they have no patience for malcontents....even if they did just sign the guy to an extension. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Sounds to me like a Guy that got Paid, then said OK. no longer putting the work in. Tenn said there were motivation issues with him as well. Sound like that type of player that needs to stay on a 1 year deal for his career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were all worried that we wouldn’t be able to retain him, we sign him to a team friendly deal and then all of a sudden he is benched and cut? I'm just as curious but I really like that whatever the reason , that it didn't get leaked to the media and stayed in house where it should be.

That's a point, but they don't have to cut Spain now to achieve cap space next season, and they don't have to clear cap space next season to trade for a player now. There is a thing about Spain getting a big per-game roster bonus, which I'm not sure how it figures into the cap calculations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyatt Teller is playing at an All Pro level right now, so that could be said for almost any team. I get we are the team who traded him, but it's not like Morse, Dawkins, and Williams are having bad years, and Felciano hasnt played a down. Therefore, I dont see the point in pointing that out.

ILBillsfan Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 2 hours ago, Charles Romes said: Seems to me Beane is trying to send a message that the shocking lack of running game against the soft zone is the OLs fault not the deficiencies and limitations of Singletary, previously acknowledged to be a brilliant draft pick by Beane. I think it’s a little hard for everyone (Beane, coaches, fans) to accept, after having such high hopes for Singletary, that he may just not have the goods. This is truly funny as Singletary is needing to doge players instantly on a consistent basis in the backfield. The guard play has been horrid and the bad guard play is showing up with the pressure coming up the middle on passing plays as well. Singletray has still shown elusiveness and being an effective runner.....The guard play highlighted by cover one in anece video has shown how bad it has been on the ability to make the basic seal blocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor Wentz. He caught a TD last week. Not for nothing, if this year ends how it is trending now Jason Croom will have had the 2nd best season from a Bills tight end in the last three years and Knox wasnt that much better last year. Woof.
