Orlovsky: Bills aren't as talented offensively as we thought (2:12)

The Bills' offense has not been performing well recently. 2 minutes later.

Cole said that there were some things he wished he would have done differently in his first stint with the Bills and that he talked with the team to address any issues.

The last two years were hard on everyone. I don't want to go into all of the things we talked about, but there needs to be some conversations that we need to have. I'm happy that we all could talk about it.

He came out of retirement to sign to the Bills practice squad on Tuesday after initially reaching out to Beane after Thanksgiving about a possible return to the team. His three-year tenure in Buffalo came to an end after he requested a trade in early March and was subsequently released, a move that saved the Bills over $6 million in cap space.

The Bills had extensive conversations with him before bringing him back to the team. It is possible that he could play against the Dolphins.

While being unvaccinated, Beasley tested positive for COVID-19 and missed a game. The wide receiver was outspoken on social media about his thoughts on the policies and had previously threatened to retire over it.

The fan base was great. It was a little frustrating last year when I would get some stuff from people, but before it was like that. It was a new thing. Everyone is imperfect. A lot of that was a reason why I wanted to come back. Outside of the internet world, there was nothing bad to say.

He deleted his account after he labeled it a distraction. There were multiple fines for COVID-19 protocol violations.

In November, he said he wouldn't miss professional sports because he didn't think Brooklyn Nets basketball player Kyrie Irving should be suspended for his antisemitic comments.

Cole is a good person and whether you agree with his views or not, he is a good person, according to Beane. Even though everything wasn't perfect, he was always a good person. We got on the same page of what we wanted it to be with him and he saw it the same way.

He said that he was surprised by the amount of interest he received, but that there had been free agent opportunities before he signed with the Bucs. He only played in two games for the Buccaneers. He thought it was going to be something else.

The Bills were supposed to get some help at the wide receiver position with the addition of Crowder, but he has been on injured reserve since October. Jake Kumerow is on the injured list.

The situation here is that you look to add players that you think can help your football team. "We're seeing if we can improve some of what we're doing on the offensive side of the ball, and I think that's what we're trying to do."

Signing Beasley is unrelated to the team's decision on whether or not to add Beckham, who visited the team in between visits to the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys.

It doesn't mean that we won't do it. "We're just kind of focused on the guys we got but wouldn't rule out if it made sense further down the road."
