General manager of the Buffalo Bills Brandon Beane made a decision to trade for Stefon Diggs earlier than expected because he anticipated the organization would eventually have to make a difficult choice.
Speaking out, Beane discussed the team’s surprising choice to trade Diggs to the Houston Texans. The general manager of the Bills clarified that while other considerations played a role, the salary cap consequences ultimately determined the choice.
“When you have a player like him, you have to consider a lot of factors,” Beane stated during an appearance on The Athletic Football Show. But in the end, all we discussed was the cap. I don’t have to list every justification for our decision to move forward with that. I would
With their first-round selection, the team selected wide receiver Keon Coleman. They also added veteran free agents Chase Claypool, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Curtis Samuel. Beane mentioned that the Bills will be able to spread out the targets more in the upcoming season as opposed to depending so much on Diggs.
Beane remarked, “Right now, our receiver room is like Baskin-Robbins.” “There are many flavors here.”
Rookie Receiver Could Help Bills Increase Offense
With Coleman selected 33rd overall in the NFL, the Bills appear to have great expectations for him. Josh Allen, the squad’s quarterback, claimed he can add a physical, large receiver who can win contested balls—something the team has been missing.
Per Bleacher Report, Allen stated, “I think his play style (is) what we needed in our offense.” “Talking with our general manager, Brandon Beane, our offensive coordinator, Joe Brady, our quarterbacks coach, Ronald Curry, and, of course, coach Sean McDermott, a big-bodied guy who can win one a back-shoulder fade and isn’t afraid to be a physical wide receiver.”
Allen continued by expressing his admiration for the team’s pass-catchers as a whole.
“I believe you pair him with some of the guys we have in our room right now. Mack Hollins’ mentality and infectious mindset have been such a great addition to that room so far,” Allen remarked. “Curtis Samuel has been arriving at work prepared each and every day. Now that you start putting those guys in the mix with Coleman and Dawson (Knox), we should have a fairly cohesive group.
