NFL Trade Rumors
After a stellar 112-yard performance in Week 1, Bills WR Keon Coleman has failed to surpass the 45-yard mark in his previous seven games. Despite the struggles, Buffalo GM Brandon Beane explained his patience with the second-year wideout and talked about their need for him to be consistent down the stretch.
“He was drafted high second round, so you’re naturally going to put a lot of pressure on him,” Beane said, via Tim Graham of The Athletic. “I would say there’s been some good things, and there’s been things he can continue to do better. I think he has taken another step this year.”
“I think everyone just needs to let it play out and stop trying to evaluate every snap with him. Let’s evaluate him at the end of the season where he’s at after two years. We talked about him last year after one year; I think he’s improved on those things. He had an excellent training camp, excellent first game. We got to running the ball a little bit and there’s just been some games with more opportunities than others.
“But we’ll need him down the stretch if we’re going to get to where we’re trying to get to.”
Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel offered his condolences to those close to Cowboys DE Marshawn Kneeland.
“You don’t get the scope of how someone is struggling internally until a tragedy occurs,” McDaniel said, via Barry Jackson. “Don’t know him, but someone we had multiple discussions about him in the draft process. The thing it brings to light is people are people, and people looking from afar at people on a stage, you assume because you are watching them that you assume they don’t have normal people problems. It’s a tragedy when young people, especially in their early 20s, human beings think that’s the only answer…My heart goes out to everyone.”
