The Buffalo Bills released wide receiver Cole Beasley on Thursday. The team officially announced the move right around noon on St. Patrick’s Day.
Beasley, 32, was set to count $7.6 million against the salary cap in 2022. Earlier this offseason, he had been granted permission to seek a trade, but the Bills presumably were either unable to find a partner or unable to find a team willing to give them satisfactory assets for the veteran slot receiver.
By releasing Beasley, Buffalo frees up $6.1 million in cap space. Beasley will count for $1.
