Beasley is a solid player but as others elude think he has a motivation issue. Sad really but he wouldn't be the first player to waste his talent. 

Huge motivation issues. Maybe getting cut from Tenn will flip the switch. I wish it would for his sake. You have to want to be in the NFL on some levels, or else you wouldn’t be there. It’s to hard to just half ass it.  If he ever went all in, he could be really good maybe great.

lol tweets like this wont help him get another job lol


 

Maybe, but those are tame compared to Jamal Adams, Levon Bell, Ramsey, Ngakoue, etc. and all of those guys are employed and were picked up or traded for.

 

He does not have their Cache, but most likely he will get another job shortly.

exactly, he doesnt have their Cache, which makes a difference in this world sadly.  This specificity of this also seems a little different and would be off putting to any potential employer who then would probably say is he worth he trouble? The numbers say no.  

 

Will someone take aflier, maybe.  Will he stick around if they do, probably not.

6 sacks as a rookie in 2017 and 7 in 2018 but appears to have regressed in 2019 with 3.5 and just 1 in 2020. Odd to see them cut bait on a once promising player but i don't see the Bills pouncing.

 

In all fairness, the ENTIRE FALCONS organization regressed in 2019-20

Would he fill a need for the Bills?  I thought he was supposed to be a quick gap penetrating DT like Oliver? 

 

Yeah we don't have that guy going off in the media ;)

 

Much need to fill the blatant hole ;)

This will be a let down as he signs with KC or Pittsburgh

 

Never fails....:doh:

If the Bills want him - they can claim him before KC or Pittsburgh.  He can’t sign until he clears waivers.


If he clears waivers and signs with KC or Pittsburgh  - then must be the Bills did not care that much.

He has made some plays in what has been the hardest offseason for rookies due to now preseason games and limited training camps.

 

No thank you to Takk. Watch him sign with Seattle or La. You want to know why Dan Quinn and Thomas Dimitrof are home for the holidays? Look no further than Takk and Vic Beasley. Neither one of these two displayed one ounce of “dog”. Beasley at least had some production the SB year. They both seemed to approach football like a hobby or their side gig. 

I swear Dimitrof does NOT pick well when it comes to the defensive side of the football!!  The Falcons haven't had a relevant defense in what feels like decades.  

 

If McKinley fell all the way down to us in waivers I'd most definitely kick the tires...

Interesting similarities between Tak and Vic Beasley and Shaq Lawson. Guys selected perhaps too high who couldn't live up to franchise hopes. I remember Bills fans being very down on Lawson when McD showed up. He improved to the point that he won a big contract in FA and fans were sorry to see him go. They did the same with Jordan Phillips. I like their chances with reclamation project players.

Smart move - even if you don’t keep him - blocks Cleveland, Baltimore, and Pittsburgh from him and they replace (downgrade) Dunlop and still have the pick for him.

 

Gives you a small head start to find out anything and potentially (unless they cut comp picks as has been discussed due to salary cap) could net them a pick or part of a formula toward a free pick.

 

I think that works out well as it is not someone the Bills have to face - so I am fine with this.

Wow, that was epic.  And who ever that was holding the mike, kudos for the fast-on-his-feet life coaching there.

 

I honestly thought this was sarcasm that you didn't know who that was and you said "fast-on-his-feet" so we would know 🤣
