“This is probably the healthiest I’ve ended a season in a long time,” Beasley said, via the Buffalo News. “It’s weird this season is ending, because I feel like I just got here. I feel like I was just starting to get back in my groove a little bit, so it’s frustrating, but I look forward to hopefully getting another opportunity.”

Beasley would like that opportunity to be in Buffalo.

“At this point in my career, I’m still hungry and my body feels good,” he said. “I still feel like I can do it and I can compete and play at a level that I’ve been playing at before this season. Obviously, I want to be somewhere that I can win, and I know that’s here, also. If that option is there, I would definitely do that. We’ll just have to see.”

good news. We need a viable no.2 option and with luck he won't be expensive.

especially since we probably lose davis in FA this year.

As I posted in another thread, that would double the number of good hands receivers (Diggs). Allen needs him. The rest to be determined during the upcoming off-season.

For the league minimum I'd be interested, but not for much more than that.

I was thinking exactly the same thing.

His best value is to hold the fort while the Bills develop (or draft or sign in FA) a long term solution at that position.

He was cut by the Bills last season because his $6M+ cap hit was wildly out of whack.


Vet minimum is the only way he should stay on the team.

Going to need a few players on the cheap.

wasn't davis like a 3rd or 4th round guy?

His rookie deal shouldn't be 5 years; he's been here since our AFC championship loss... that's 3 years... right, one more year on the rookie deal, means we have him for 2023

If he can win and keep a spot on the roster, and I don't see how he can't, I'm great with it.

I’d love it if Cole was a camp casualty…. And McKenz quits football.

Re: Cole Beasley interested in returning to Bills in 2023

I'm all for Beasley on a one year deal for like 2m with some incentives that can get him to 3m.

He's better than anything else we have in the slot and has reliable hands in general.

Where’s that money coming from given our other needs and cap situation?
