Just two weeks after signing with the Buccaneers, Cole Beasley retired from the NFL and it seemed like his career was done after 11 years.
Things changed this month when the veteran wide receiver decided to sign with the Bills’ practice squad. The veteran receiver is returning to the Bills as the AFC East leaders prepare for another playoff run.
The 33-year-old will initially start on the practice squad, though is expected to join the 53-man roster “in short order.” Before this offseason, Beasley had spent the past four seasons in Buffalo before the two parted ways. Beasley signed with the Buccaneers in September but opted to retire after two games.
“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,” Beasley’s agent, Justin Turner, told NFL.com at the time.
His signing comes a week after Odell Beckham Jr. visited the Bills.
Beasley finished his first Bills stint with 231 catches, 2,438 yards, and 11 touchdowns.
