BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills have granted wide receiver Cole Beasley permission to seek a trade, general manager Brandon Beane confirmed to ESPN.
Beasley's camp first approached the Bills about the possible move and the team agreed to allow the slot receiver to investigate other options. Finding a solution for his impact on the salary cap seemed inevitable as he is currently set to account for $7.6 million in cap space on the final year of a four-year, $29 million contract.
Releasing or trading Beasley would save the Bills $6.1 million in cap space with $1.
