To start the 2018 NFL regular season, Cole Beasley was considered to be the Dallas Cowboys‘ top wide receiver. After parting ways with longtime wideout Dez Bryant, the Cowboys opted to implement a receiver-by-committee approach.
Beasley spearheaded that group, which also consisted of the newly-signed Allen Hurns, Terrence Williams, rookie Michael Gallup, Tavon Austin, Deonte Thompson, and Noah Brown. But after losing five of their first eight games, the Cowboys ditched the receiver-by-committee experiment and sent their first round draft pick in 2019 to the Oakland Raiders for Pro Bowl wideout Amari Cooper.
