Just days after Brandon Beane’s NSFW rant, the Buffalo Bills have landed a new wide receiver.
The Bills struck a one-year, $5 million deal with wide receiver Elijah Moore on Wednesday, according to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Moore spent the last two seasons in the league with the Cleveland Browns. He had 538 yards and one touchdown last season, which trailed only Jerry Jeudy in yards while the team went just 3-14. Moore, who was first selected by the New York Jets with the No. 34 overall pick in 2021 out of Ole Miss, became a free agent this offseason.

Though he’s averaged just more than 540 receiving yards a season throughout his career, Moore should be a great addition for Josh Allen and the Bills this fall. If nothing else, it should help get fans off Beane’s back.
The Bills general manager made an appearance on a local radio show earlier this week, and he responded to criticism that the team didn’t take a wide receiver early in the NFL Draft. The Bills didn’t have a true No. 1 receiver last season, but they still finished second in points scored in the regular season and Allen won his first career MVP award while getting the franchise to the AFC championship game for the first time since 2020.
Beane also said that the team wasn’t avoiding wide receivers in the NFL Draft, but that they simply didn’t like anybody that was available when they were up. Instead, the team opted to spend their first five picks on defensive players, starting with cornerback Maxwell Hairston in the first round.
“Well, you guys were b****ing in 2018 about Josh Allen, you guys wanted Josh Rosen, and now you guys are b****ing that we don’t have a receiver,” Beane said. “… We just scored 30 points in a row for eight straight games. A year ago, I get you guys asking why we didn’t have receivers, but I don’t understand it now. You just saw us lead the league in points, when you add all the postseason, no one scored more points than the Buffalo Bills, including the Super Bowl champions. So, you just saw us do it without Stefon Diggs, same group. How is this group not better than last year’s group? Our job is to score points and win games. Where do we need to get better? Defense. We did that. So, I get it, you got to have a show, and you got to have something to b**** about, but b***ing about wide receiver is one of the dumbest arguments I’ve heard.”

Moore will now join Khalil Shakir — who signed a four-year extension with the team this offseason — Keon Coleman, Curtis Samuel, among others, in the Bills’ wide receivers room. The team signed Joshua Palmer to a three-year deal, too, so Moore isn’t the only addition.
Still, that group is without a true top wide receiver. Clearly, Beane is good with that strategy considering how far it took the team last season. Whether the criticism got to him and pushed the latest addition, though, isn’t clear.
But until Beane leads the team to a Super Bowl appearance at a bare minimum — something they’ve fallen painfully short of in the Allen era — he’s almost certainly going to be criticized for something.

Pozor, pálí oslavenec Rrahmani! Kanonýr Sparty je ve formě, do kabiny donesl dobroty
V neděli oslavil kosovský forvard 25. narozeniny. A stylově. Od začátku byl nebezpečný. Možná některá přečíslení nevyřešil tak, jak si situace žádala, vše ale splatil později. Nejprve ve 31. minutě, kdy si při rohu Kaana Kairinena naběhl na přední tyč a levačkou překonal Stanislava Dostála.Druhý zásah přidal přibližně po hodině hry. Tentokrát si za vápnem navedl míč na svou silnější pravačku a poslal balon nechytatelně k přední tyči. V tu chvíli zvyšoval na 3:0.Možná je to náhoda, ale 31. srpna se prosadil i minulý rok, kdy pomohl gólem a asistencí k triumfu 2:0 v Hradci Králové. No a rok 2023? To ještě oblékal dres Rapidu Bukurešť a 1. září se dvakrát se trefil v městském derby proti Dinamu.V aktuální sezoně pod staronovým koučem Sparty Brianem Priskem pookřál. Už má na svém kontě osm branek. Z toho pět ligových, v nejvyšší soutěži se aktuálně dělí o první příčku s Matějem Vydrou z Plzně.

Jack Grealish and the picture that sums up what he means to Everton
The picture above, taken shortly after Everton’s 3-2 win at Wolves on Saturday, encapsulates the positive mood around the Merseyside club right now.Fresh from another match-winning turn, Jack Grealish was pulled into, and almost subsumed by, the waves of blue-clad supporters in the away end. “It was like a UFC chokehold,” Grealish said later. “Bless them, it was unbelievable. That’s what it’s about.” For the third time in a week, chants of ‘Super Jack’ were audible as the 29-year-old made his way off the Molineux pitch.AdvertisementSoon after, Bryan Adams’ Summer Of ’69 could be heard blasting out from the Everton dressing room. Grealish strolled around the tunnel area, shirt off, still revelling in this latest triumph. It is still early days in his season-long loan from Manchester City, but he appears to have regained the confidence and purpose that helped […]
