Vic Beasley has failed to keep up pace from his All Pro 2016 season. He seems unaffected by the quarterback, blocking, or any other matchup, frequently failing to get to the quarterback even when in a great situation.
Beasley’s disappearance since 2016
Earlier this season it was almost a guarantee the Falcons would rescind his fifth-year option. Beasley’s option, taken by the team during the offseason, would net the defensive end $12.8 million. That’s a lot of money for a player averaging around 4 to 5 sacks per season and frequently found at the bottom of Pro Football Focus rankings.
