Re-signed Bills WR Cole Beasley admits ‘there needed to be some conversations’ to ‘resolve issues’

Before returning to Buffalo, wide receiver Cole Beasley is in serious talks with head coach Sean McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane.

In Beasley’s words, these meetings were to “work out problems” left over from his last time with the Bills just a year ago.

The SMU product has been outspoken against the COVID-19 policy the league implemented last year and is anti-vaccination.

The catcher was strongly opposed to the COVID vaccine and the league’s COVID protocols.

‘The last two years were difficult for everyone’, Beasley told the media on Wednesday.

“I don’t really want to get into all the things that we talked about, with me and Brandon and Coach McDermott, but there had to be some conversations that we needed to have.” I’m happy that we can all do that as men and talk about it and solve problems.

‘Nobody is perfect. I didn’t handle everything the way I wanted. A lot of it was a big reason I wanted to go back too. It’s really the internet world with that, because outside of here there was nothing negative for the most part.

Beasley says his time in Tampa Bay “wasn’t the situation I thought it was going to be”

Beasley ended up missing a game in the 2021 season because he tested positive for COVID-19 and was fined a total of $100,000 for violating the league’s COVID protocols multiple times.

After requesting a trade in the postseason, Beasley was released by the team. As a free agent, he signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

He played in Tampa for two games before announcing his retirement to be a “full-time husband and father.”

“The withdrawal was over, it wasn’t the situation that I thought it would be in Tampa,” Beasley said. I didn’t like how things ended here. When we got here, my family fell in love with Buffalo. I wanted to go back to it.
