Cole Beasley News
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Cole Beasley has decided to retire, effective immediately, according to his agents Joel and Justin Turner. "He is ready to be with his family after playing in 11 seasons and it's time to be a full time dad and husband," his agents said in a statement. The Bucs brought Beasley in recently due to injuries to most of their receiving corps, but they are getting healthier and Mike Evans also returned from his one-game suspension last week, so Beasley isn't really needed anymore. The 33-year-old will wrap up his 11-year NFL career with 554 catches on 780 targets for 5,726 yards and 34 touchdowns in 151 games (50 starts) with the Bucs, Cowboys and Bills. He spent the first seven years of his career in Dallas before playing three seasons in Buffalo.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers elevated wide receiver Cole Beasley from the practice squad to their active roster on Saturday ahead of the Week 3 game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. The Bucs are decimated by injuries at the receiver position, and No. 1 receiver Mike Evans is also suspended for this weekend's game, so Beasley could actually play a limited role against Green Bay after just signing to the practice squad this week. If Julio Jones (knee), who is listed as questionable, cannot play, the Bucs will likely have Russell Gage, Breshad Perriman and Scotty Miller as their top three wideouts for quarterback Tom Brady this weekend. The 33-year-old Beasley will give Tampa some depth for the time being, but he's not worth a waiver-wire pickup at this time.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Cole Beasley could be active for Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers, according to head coach Todd Bowles. When asked if Beasley could play Sunday, Bowles said, "I think he could. He's quick and catches up to speed real fast. He understands the system and he's played and gotten a lot of reps under him." The Buccaneers' offense could be extremely short-handed in Week 3, with Mike Evans (suspension) out, Chris Godwin (hamstring) unlikely to play, and Julio Jones (knee) a game-time decision. If Beasley is to play, he is nothing more than a dart throw considering it would be his first game with a new offense.
