He was amazing in 2020.  Absolutely unreal.  He caught everything around him and made so many clutch grabs.

 

2021, not so much. I believe he played with broken ribs much of the season which can't be fun but it really looked like he lost a step.  The insane separation he used to get and the automatic YAC wasn't there.  He was still a dependable chain mover but he had a few drops.  Probably unfair to compare his performance against 2020 but its a natural thing to do.

 

Time to get younger and more explosive.

 

Didn't he play 2020 with a broken bone in his leg too? The guy is tough as nails. I cracked a rib once and couldn't move for like a week.

One of my favorite Bills the last few years.  Lots of respect for his game.  Yeah I don’t care if your panties are in a bunch cause he didn’t get the jab.

Yeah, he played in the post season with a fracture in his leg.  He ate corn on the cob all year with a missing front tooth too.  Hes as tough as they come.

This is going to bite us. Games we lost were games Josh ignored Beasley. Games we salvaged were games Josh ignored Beasley until the second half and then all of a sudden got over the hump. Daboll tried to ignore Beasley and go to less reliable options. 
 

I see us struggling down the wire without Beasley. His replacements are serviceable but aren’t as clutch.

It’s definitely the right move to let him go, but let’s not pretend like this is an easy fill. Beasley has been insanely clutch for this team. We are not a better offense without him even with him on the decline. 

Don't forget about McKenzie's monster game against New England last December.  And also the season finale against Miami in 2020.  McKenzie can make plays when given the chance.  He will be a very solid contributor this coming season, if he can take the pounding. 

 

That being said.  I loved what Beasley did as a Buffalo Bill.  The man was an awesome receiver for us.  But his speed is declining due to injuries.  And that is football.  A big salute to him as a football player.  And also as a person for standing up for his individual rights as an American citizen.  He is a hero for that in many circles.  Maybe not in Western New York.  But where he comes from and many other places, he sure as hell is.

Dependable. Rarely dropped passes thrown to him. He was the go-to guy over the middle for first downs.

I'll take that skill over that of the speedster with poor concentration who frequently drops passes in clutch situations. 

 

Still good, but not quite the same after the haircut. 😏

It' doesn't free up the money until then though so there is no point in doing it if we can't sign someone to replace him until then.

Sure there is.  He isnt going to play here.  Release him to let him find another team if he TRULY wants to play football again (i dont think he does) that is how FOs maintain respect of players. 

 

He will not be in the Bills uniform in September move on.  You have replacements in Phillips, Jones, Settle the writing is on the wall.

You may be disappointed, then. Don't be surprised if they just go with McKenzie.

I think it’s pretty certain they take a slot wr myself, having McKenzie and the rookie compete for the slot role. I can’t see the Bills just rolling with McKenzie, it’s too much of a gamble, and they didn’t pay him like they are going to lean on him. 
 

To be clear, I like McKenzie and would love to see him succeed. I just see the Bills hedging their bets a hit with the slot role.

Typically, yes, cut them now and let them find a team.

 

After the BS he pulled with Covid, who cares?
