Last season, Beasley recorded 82 catches for 693 yards and one TD in 16 games with the Bills. The now 33-year-old wideout played for the Bills from 2019-2021 and was a reliable target for QB Josh Allen during that span. The signing of Beasley reunites the wide receiver in Buffalo and gives the Bills the potential for another offensive weapon to be brought up to the game day roster.

Originally an undrafted free agent with the Cowboys, Beasley played seven seasons in Dallas and three in Buffalo. The Bills released Beasley in March and he was out of the NFL for the entire offseason before signing with the Buccaneers in September. He lasted in Tampa Bay only long enough to play two games and catch four passes, and he then said he was retiring and was released by the Bucs.

The Buffalo Bills are signing Cole Beasley to their practice squad per a report by NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.

He was claimed a week later by Houston and assigned to the practice squad, but never played in a game before the Texans released him Tuesday. The Beasley signing created a series of transactions as second-year wide receiver Marquez Stevenson was released from the practice squad to make room for Beasley. Bryant was with the Bills earlier this season and saw limited action in three games before his release on Nov. The need for Beasley far exceeds the need for Brown. Shakir has been given a few chances in the slot, but he’s not ready to be a full-time contributor. Beasley had requested permission to seek a trade shortly before he was released and the Bills granted it. Brown can be elevated just once more before they would have to sign him to the 53-man roster. He played in two games and caught four passes from Tom Brady for 17 yards before Tampa Bay released him. Beasley may receive the same type of treatment. 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 felt confident moving on from Beasley because they believed Isaiah McKenzie could take over as the primary slot receiver, but McKenzie has not come close to matching Beasley’s production. 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.

Cole Beasley has officially returned to the Buffalo Bills. It's a surprising move, but not an unwelcome one. Let's break it down.

[Buffalo Bills3 weeks ago ](https://thebuffalofanatics.com/should-the-buffalo-bills-re-sign-jordan-poyer/) [Buffalo Bills3 weeks ago ](https://thebuffalofanatics.com/buffalo-bills-make-coaching-staff-move-will-we-see-more/) [Buffalo Bills3 weeks ago ](https://thebuffalofanatics.com/buffalo-bulletin-trading-for-deandre-hopkins/) [Buffalo Bills3 days ago ](https://thebuffalofanatics.com/buffalo-bills-free-agents-case-keenum-sam-martin/) [Buffalo Bills3 days ago ](https://thebuffalofanatics.com/buffalo-bills-things-we-know-this-week-94/) Still, if there’s any magic left in the tank, we should milk it as much as we can as the Buffalo Bills compete for a Super Bowl title. His play saw a real decline in 2021. After he was released by the Bills, following a failed attempt to find a trade partner, Beasley sat on the market for a while. We shouldn’t expect that same level of production, but the improvisational nature of his connection with Josh Allen cannot be overstated. His 71.1% catch rate was one of the highest we had in that span, and his playoff performances were always needed. It may be surprising that we went for Cole Beasley, but the move for a WR was an expected one. Cole Beasley is officially coming out of his short-lived retirement for one last go with the Buffalo Bills.

Bills general manager Brandon Beane received a call around Thanksgiving from WR Cole Beasley, who expressed interest in still playing football despite being ...

So I'm glad to be back here with all the guys I'm familiar with and I missed them to death so it's awesome." While it's uncertain if Beasley will take the field Saturday night against the Miami Dolphins, he expressed that he wants to write wrongs around Buffalo and be back with his teammates while playing the game he loves. "He knows leverages, he knows what windows I'm looking at, and he's just got such a good feel. "I was retired, but I didn't want it that way," Beasley said. Beasley was with the Bills from 2019-2021 and tallied 231 receptions for 2,438 yards and 11 touchdowns during that time. "We've been talking the whole season," Beasley said. "When I first got here, me and my family fell in love with this place. I was just trying to figure out how to get open. I told him that and when I first got here, me and my family fell in love with this place. I think Cole has proven to be that." "So went home from there, but I've still been working out, still wanted to play, reached out to Brandon." About 24 hours later, the team announced the veteran wide receiver was coming out of retirement and signing with the Bills practice squad.

Cole Beasley has put the past behind him and is anxious to get back on the field and help the Bills in their Super Bowl quest.

“It’s hard to sit there and watch people playing a game you love when you still have the drive to do that,” he said. So I’m glad to be back here with all the guys I’m familiar with and I missed them to death so it’s awesome.” “I was retired, but I didn’t want it that way. He was signed by the Buccaneers to their practice squad in September and he saw action in two games but was released. I just wanted to right a lot of wrongs around here and be with teammates and just get back to football. “When it comes to zone coverages, he knows where defenders should be at,” Allen said of the 33-year-old Beasley. Finally, right around Thanksgiving, he called Beane to ask if he’d be interested in a reunion. “There were some times last year where I would get some stuff from people and it would be a little frustrating just because, before, it wasn’t like that, so it was a change,” Beasley said following his first full practice since rejoining the team on Tuesday. And I think ultimately we appreciated who he was when he was here.” There was a kid that came up to him and told him that he couldn’t come to his birthday party because his mom didn’t like me. “There was a time last year, and it really killed me. And then he did himself no favors by engaging many of the people who disagreed with his stance on social media.

Beasley brings a similar dimension back to the offense. Brown played two seasons with the Bills and also knows the team’s playbook and scheme. And there’s no promises on either side where his snaps will go to when he’s ready for a game, whether he’s ready for a game this week, whether it’s next week, whatever. Beane detailed the process of getting Beasley back on the roster. Over the next few weeks, Beane mulled over Beasley’s offer and spoke to Allen about the potential reunion. Beane liked what he saw on tape of Beasley in Tampa. While sitting at home in Texas, the former second-team All Pro had a change of heart.
