The Buffalo Bills released wide receiver Cole Beasley on Thursday, the team announced.
The Buffalo Bills had granted Beasley permission to seek a trade in early March with the wide receiver set to account for $7.6 million in cap space on the final year of a four-year, $29 million contract.
Beasley, who turns 33 on April 26, finished last season with the same number of receptions as the year prior (82) but 274 fewer receiving yards. He only had one receiving touchdown, his fewest in a season since 2012 (zero).
He missed one game last season after testing positive for COVID-19 while being unvaccinated.
