It sounds like Cole Beasley won’t be unsigned for much longer. According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo (on Twitter), the veteran wideout has drawn “significant” interest around the NFL.
Beasley was released by Buffalo earlier this offseason after the team and the player unsuccessfully found a new home for the receiver. As Garafolo notes, the Bills considered re-signing Beasley once he was cut, but the receiver continues to hold out for the right opportunity. That “right opportunity” goes beyond a clear spot on the depth chart; Garafolo mentions that Beasley is also seeking at least a modest payday and won’t settle for a minimum contract.
The former undrafted free agent spent his first seven seasons in Dallas. He started 22 of his 103 games for the Cowboys, mostly serving as a secondary target on offense. He did have a standout campaign in 2016, hauling in 75 receptions for 833 yards and five touchdowns. Beasley signed a four-year deal with the Bills in 2019, and he saw a significant increase in targets during his three seasons in Buffalo (325 vs. 450 in Dallas). Beasley hauled in 231 receptions for Buffalo, and he added another 25 receptions in six playoff games.
This past season, Beasley started eight of his 16 appearances, hauling in 82 receptions for 693 yards and one touchdown. Despite the 2021 campaign being his age-32 season, his 82 catches tied a career-high (from the year before). Beasley landed just about in the middle of the pack on Pro Football Focus’ ranking of wide receivers (59/115), but his score was partly dragged down by poor run-blocking metrics. While the wideout is clearly getting up there in age, he’s proved that he can still be productive, so it shouldn’t be long until a WR-needy team gives Beasley the contract he desires.
Greenbay 100% lol
Absolutely perfect for Packers
Yup, he and Rodgers have lots in common
I see what you did there
Thanks for the irony, they are not Sheep…
They are Fox News sheep lol
Brilliant! As opposed to impartiality of ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN/MSNBC/NPR et al
All news is biased. My point wasn’t pro media. It is that you can’t say they aren’t sheep when are simply following a different shepherd with a smaller flock.
While it may not be fire breathing vocal, the flock is anything but small. Follow War Room and you will learn a lot.
War Room? As in MAGA luminary Steve Bannon’s War Room? That’s far-right propaganda, pal. I wouldn’t chug too much of that kool-aid if I were you. It’s bad for your brain.
O it was fire breathing on 1/6. But that proves my point. Sheperd leading a flock listening to lies of fraud. Ain’t even political cuz both sides lie but only one person ever tried to overthrow a fair and legal election.
Hard to see the Packers adding another small receiver when they already have Cobb and Rodgers.
There is nothing else left. Lol. No one wants to play there.
For the life of me I don’t know why the Packers sign Julio Jones. And if they weren’t interested in him, I don’t see why they’d be interested in a learning-disabled WR this late in the off-season program.
Because people learn in different ways and who knows the Packers may know how to help him learn easier.
Packers: “OK class, today we are going to teach you why asking for more money is a bad idea”.
“Significant” interest…in a guy who is unsigned while camps start.
Classic agent post, haha.
Chiefs
Would say Titans, really need depth and a vet.
Steelers. Gives Trubisky someone he is familiar with. Nice option 2 next to Johnson
Beasley will follow Dabol to the Giants. Book it.
