It's been mentioned quite a bit in the bitter thread about Darius Slay.

 

Forgive me.

 

I don't know if anyone else in this forum is like me at this point and comes here as much (maybe more) for Bills news than discussion... but the fact that the other thread hasn't changed the title to acknowledge Slay ain't coming and we will now have an open roster spot that will not be filled by a player we've had on the team developing for years now because he was claimed by a Conference rival playoff contender is a little frustrating.

 

if I'm alone, sue me.

We need to sign a defensive end, honestly.

Yea that's a bad look for Beane. Was Ingram a critical piece? No. But did he provide some useful depth? Yep. Should you throw that away for a 34 year old? No.

I think people are just piling on Beane for this. I like that he went and tried to improve an area of the roster that in previous years had failed us in the playoffs. You don’t like the result and therefore dump it all on Beane. 
 

If it came January and we get torched because a guy like Benford went down, you know people wold have been clamoring for “how did we not sign slay - look at how amazing Howie Roseman is”

 

He swung and missed, attempting to improve, which resulting in losing an end of roster depth player. There are plenty of reasons to question and rag on Beane, but this is just low handing fruit IMO.

Ingram was afraid of the cold, best to dump him now
