Brandon Beane, the general manager of the Buffalo Bills, confirmed to ESPN that the team granted Cole Beasley permission to seek a trade.
The Bills agreed to allow the slot receiver to investigate other options after the team first approached the camp about the possible move. Finding a solution for his impact on the salary cap seemed inevitable as he is currently set to account for $8.6 million in cap space on the final year of his contract.
Releasing or trading Beasley would save the Bills $6.1 million in cap space. Buffalo has about $1 million in cap space with moves expected in the near future.
I haven't spoken to Cole personally. We will just take it one day at a time.
Following the conclusion of the season, Beane said that he expected Beasley to return in 2022.
The year before, he had the same number of catches as the year before, but less receiving yard. He only had one receiving touchdown this season, his lowest in four years.
He missed one game because he tested positive for COVID-19 while unvaccinated. He threatened to retire and was vocal on social media about his thoughts on the COVID-19 policies. During the season, he deleted his account from the social networking site because he said it was a distraction. Chris Mortensen reported that Beasley was fined multiple times for violating the COVID-19 protocol.
The Bills are in need of a wide receiver this year, and they will have to make a decision on who to sign this month. The biggest cap hit on the roster is currently Stefon Diggs, who is a candidate to receive a contract extension.
The sides have to want to do it and they have a value. Without getting into any specifics, that is probably the best way to answer.
Since selecting Sammy Watkins fourth overall, the Bills have not drafted a wide receiver in the first round.
