The Bills are currently placed atop the AFC East with a season record of 10-3. Josh Allen is clearly eying for the ultimate title, something that he promised even before the season began. And to strengthen the offensive unit more, the management is reportedly planning to bring WR Cole Beasley back into the squad.

After featuring for two games for Tampa Bay, Cole Beasley announced an abrupt retirement. While everyone thought his chapter got over, the SMU product dropped another bomb hinting at his return. Per the reports shared by NFL Insider Mike Garafolo, Beasley has come out of retirement and is expected to join the Bills Mafia and collaborate for practice sessions.
“A reunion in Buffalo: WR Cole Beasley is coming out of retirement and expected to sign with the #Bills’ practice squad, sources say. After a brief stint with the #Buccaneers earlier this season, Beasley returns to Orchard Park to provide Josh Allen with another trusted target,” he wrote on Twitter.

Well, this need took no time to spread like a wildfire, with fans heaping praises for the management’s last-minute decision. Beasley has been a prominent member of the league ever since he signed with the Dallas Cowboys in 2012.
After spending a significant time, he joined the Bills Mafia in 2019 for a period of three years. During this tenure, Beasley played in 48 games and recorded 231 receptions for 2,438 yards and 11 touchdowns. Although the records were pretty eye-catching, the Bills released him in March last year.
Later he joined the Buccaneers as a practice squad member. This season he got promoted to the active roster for a game against Green Bay. However, all that success didn’t last long, he got demoted again and eventually announced his retirement. But this unexpected return will prove as a reunion for Beasley.
