Veteran NFL wide receiver Cole Beasley unretires and reunites with Buffalo Bills.
Buffalo BillsBeasley played for the Bills from 2019-21 and was one of Josh Allen’s favorite passing game targets as he caught 231 passes for 2,438 yards and 11 touchdowns after he was signed as a free agent in 2019.
However, the Bills released him in March at the start of free agency, largely in a salary cap move with the $6.1 million in savings put toward the signing of free agent edge rusher Von Miller.Beasley had requested permission to seek a trade shortly before he was released and the Bills granted it. But it was always going to be tough to make happen. With his contract, and the fact that the teams probably knew the Bills would be cutting Beasley anyway, no one was willing to give up an asset.
The Bills also signed veteran Jamison Crowder in free agency to compete with McKenzie for the slot position, and they drafted Khalil Shakir in the fifth round. McKenzie and Crowder were essentially sharing time until Crowder suffered a serious ankle injury in the Week 4 victory at Baltimore and has been on injured reserve ever since.
The Bills also dipped into their past two weeks ago when they signed wide receiver John Brown to their practice squad, a player they had released after the 2020 season. Brown has been elevated to the game day roster in each of the last two games but has not caught a pass. Brown can be elevated just once more before they would have to sign him to the 53-man roster.
