To add fuel to the fire, we are paying 400k of Switzer's salary to play for the Steelers............ 
keep working on that rap career, because its over here.Pretty much, he was always far more average than most fans seem to think, 2016 the anomaly.

He would be our leading receiver if Cooper wasn't brought in.
If he is average, what do you consider the rest of our receivers

I hope after his drop vs. the Saints he sent a K ball to Jerry with "N/M" scrawled on it.After his explosion against Jax he sent up one of his TD balls to jerry and wrote something to the tune of get your checkbook out.

That one tooYou mean the Falcons
Amendola only got 6 million a year - 2yr 12 millionEdelman gets that because he hit UFA coming off missing the entire 2017 season. That's not market value.

I disagree. How you expect a rookie to produce only getting 9 targets the entire year. Beasley best year is 5 TDs, Ridley has that in almost 1 game. You can't produce without targets. Beasley isn't worth the contractI disagree. You never know what you are going to get with a rookie. Look at Switzer. He did nothing his rookie year. Like all receivers, they tend to need a year or two to develop and catch up to the speed in the nfl versus college.
Beasley may not be a game changer, but he is as reliable as they come in terms of production and moves the chains. Which is what this team is all about. Grinding down your opponenets.
Plus, he is always healthy and in the field.
Well worth a next contract imo.
Switzer would be cut anyway.Per over the cap, Cole Beasley signed a four year $13.6 million contract with the Dallas Cowboys on March 3, 2015. Beasley received a $4 million signing bonus and $5 million in full guarantees. His 2016 salary will become fully guaranteed of on the roster the 5th day of the 2016 League Year. He is eligible for annual $500,000 escalators.
The front office has a big decision once his contract is expiring at the end of this season. Beasley has been a reliable player for this franchise.
He caught 75 passes from Dak in 2016 for 833 yards for 5TDs. In 2017, his production dropped off while only catching 36 balls for 314 yards and 4TDs. But we all know how much of a disaster 2017 was for everyone. He has already surpassed last years numbers this season catching 48 passes for 468 yards and 2 scores. And is the teams 2nd leading receiver.
How would you handle Beasley at the end of this year? Do you let him walk in free agency and if so how do you plan on replacing his production. Or do you ink him to a new deal.
Personally, I think he is worth a new contract and slightly over pay him considering his past deal.
4 years 22-24 million
2019 Cap Number 4.5 million
2020 Cap Number 5.5 million
2021 Cap Number 6 million
2022 Cap Number 6.5 million (if cut, 6.5 million in cap savings.
I'd say 4 years for 24 million would be my ceiling on him. But if ends up walking, trading Switzer made absolutely no sense. We used a 4th round pick on him and basically got nothing in return.
Tavon Austin is just to injury prone to be tasked with the starting slot receiver position. Can't count on him.

Switzer could perform just as well as Beasley if not better. This thing you guys got for Beasley is mind blowing. He isn't special and Switzer didn't get on the field because the coaches don't play backups until an injury happens. I used Ridley as an example of how bad Beasley stats are. Last season he has 34 catches, a rookie can easily beat that. Heck Gallup is already better than Beasley as a rookie and was a 3rd rounderIf Switzer was better than Beasley his rookie year, he would have had more targets. Not a knock on Switzer but he needed a year to learn and grow.
Ridley was a 1st round pick. We don't have a 1st rounder. Plus he is an exception to the rule. It has been pointed out that 1st round rookie WRs have all been duds since 2015.
