Beane did not call us last minute

Lots of people spreading incorrect information here on the boards so I wanted to clear this up. 

Brandon Beane on NFL radio the night of the trade said that he called Hurney the day before inquiring about KB going to Buffalo. They went through the process but couldn't come to an agreement and Beane really thought thats it no deal oh well and moved on.

At 2pm the next day Hurney called Beane and Beane thought to himself "oh I guess there IS a chance". They spend the next two hours hammering out a deal and get the contract submitted with 3 minutes to spare till the deadline.

He then went on to say that he was worn out from running up and down the hall talking to his coaching staff and doing the paperwork. 

So please stop with this "this last minute deal no one was considering just happened". Marty had a full day and a half to discuss it with our coaching staff and Owner. It wasn't a spur of the moment decision.

So now Hurney had 24 hours to try and replace Benji with one of the other guys on the market and not 5 minutes.

Hurney is even dumber than I had initially thought.

Who exactly? The only Wr truly on the market was TY Hilton, and they wanted waaay too much for him.

Given the time and who he talked to it's safe to say the owner, Hurney, and coaching staff chose not to get a replacement WR. So they are all to blame really.

Don't you know? How easy it is to pull guys from other teams. Especially if you don't even know if you are going to actually trade your own asset and what you will get for it. 

I mean the difficult thing is to sound like you know everything on a message board using hindsight, we have so many smart people here I cant believe they dont have impactful jobs to do. To come up with names suggesting getting them is a no-brainer, that is hard stuff right there buddy.

What difference does that make? They were negotiating at the last minute a trade that was first proposed one day before the deadline. 

There are some real temper-tantrum capable babies on this board, could only imagine how they spend their days when not saying anything in front of a computer.

What a good gm would have done is had that TY Hilton deal done verbally hinging on the KB trade. Should have been bam bam. I would have sent Indy Buffalos 3rd and our 2nd. Pretty sure we could have gotten him for that. 

Not sure the money works.  Without KB we have around 4.5 in cap.  Hilton's cap hit is 10 mil.  I assume we'd have to eat 5 mil of that.  A lot of moving parts here.

Na man, just say it on a message board, check it on Madden. It's a shoe-in. So easy you can think of it in 10 seconds.

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)

      Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.

      Young up for Player of the Week

      I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
