The Bills still aren’t overloaded with talent at wide receiver.
But even after giving up a pick and guaranteeing him money (which added to their gigantic pile of dead money)
David Bakhtiari Jersey , they couldn’t justify keeping Corey Coleman.
Bills General Manager Brandon Beane told Tim Graham of The Athletic that Coleman might not have had enough time to make a good impression, but clearly never made a good impression.
“Yeah, you know, Corey, he tried hard. He really did,” Beane said. “Where he came in to learn a new offense
William Hayes Jersey , he just didn鈥檛 jell. It鈥檚 one of those things you ask yourself, ‘Have we given this enough time?’ The talent鈥檚 there. Anybody that鈥檚 been around the practice field, you see he has a skill set. But we just never were able to make it mesh on the field with him, and it鈥檚 a production business.
“People think, ‘Oh, G.M.s love to protect their draft picks.’ Well
Shaquill Griffin Jersey , if I鈥檓 protecting my draft picks, I gave a seventh-round pick for this guy and guaranteed some cash [$3.55 million for the 2018 season]. You don鈥檛 want to see that. But you鈥檝e got to be true to who earned the spot, and we just felt in the limited time that we were still unsure it was going to work, and to kick someone else out that we knew would work or felt better about, we just didn鈥檛 feel that was right.
“We talk about earning your spot. We just didn鈥檛 feel he鈥檇 done enough to earn it, and in fairness to Corey
Terron Armstead Jersey , it is hard to get here in August and learn an offense when you鈥檙e fighting for reps and haven鈥檛 practiced with any of these quarterbacks. That鈥檚 where I left myself late Friday night as I was debating this: ‘Am I being fair to Corey, and am I being fair to the team?’ At the end of the day, I have to be fair to the team.”
That certainly doesn’t paint the kindest of portraits of Coleman, a former first-rounder who failed to live up to expectations in Cleveland, which led to them giving him away for a seventh-rounder after he lost his job to a rookie.
The lawyer representing former 49ers Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid in their collusion case against the NFL is continuing to promise big developments.
Attorney Mark Geragos said on his Reasonable Doubt podcast that big news is coming.
“I will just say stay tuned that next week there will be news on Kap and on Eric Reid. That’s all I can say right now,” Geragos said on the podcast
Ray-Ray Armstrong Jersey , which was released on Saturday. “I’m going to say, as you’re listening to this, there will be news next week.”
Geragos previously promised a dramatic turn in the case, hinting that there could be someone inside the NFL ready to testify on behalf of the players. There’s been precious little news coming out of the case since then, which raises the obvious question of whether Geragos overplayed his hand with that promise. But he’s continuing to claim that a big development is coming for his clients.
