When is it that enough is enough when a player takes his stand on something he believes in, too far? Last season Cole Beasley caught 82 balls for the Buffalo Bills for 693 yards with a touchdown playing the slot wide receiver position. Recently Beasley ranted and raved that he put up those numbers playing through some injured ribs when fans criticized the 33 year veteran for still remaining as a free agent after the Bills cut ties with him in March. Why does a receiver who’s been in the league for nine seasons, playing 134 games catching 483 balls for 4,951 yards while grabbing 28 touchdown passes not have a job? Can Beasley still play in the NFL? Yes!!! Beasley is an Anti-Vaxxer and has plenty to say about the Covid-19 vaccination, which he does not believe in. Will Beasley not taking a shot eventually give him no shot to return to play in the NFL?

Cole Beasley has been fined by the Buffalo Bills several times for not taking the Covid protocols seriously. Beasley has chimed in on social media telling the world about the NFL players association deal about unvaccinated players getting stricter guidelines, calling it a joke. Sounds like Beasley could be a guy at your own work place finding something twisted in the company handbook. Perhaps some kind of clause in the Unions that may have hurt one of your co-workers? The NFL has plenty of players that are unvaccinated. Neither the Bills or the league have tied Beasley down on a table and injected him with a needle forcing him to play by their rules. Beasley gets on his soap box like that friend you have on Facebook that rants and raves about stuff they read on the internet to try to persuade you to agree with him. Most of the stuff people spew out is similar to the Peanuts comic strip adults talking. “Wah-wa-wah-wah!!!” The union of the NFL the players association who look out for the players came up with this. Sometimes in life you have to jump through hurtles for things you believe in. I’m vaccinated, but I don’t go around pointing fingers at Non-Vaxxers. Your choice. Sometimes choices have consequences. The saying is choose your battles. This is a pretty big battle to choose if you’re in Beasley’s shoes.

The Buffalo Bills goals are to make the post-season, get to the Superbowl, and win the entire thing. Cole Beasley was a nice security blanket to have for Josh Allen as slot receivers go over the middle of the field to catch some tough passes to convert first downs to move the chains while taking on a jarring hit. Can your friend on Facebook be a distraction if you invited him over to your house for a party? What if your family believes in the opposite of what this person says? What if your significant other’s family believes the opposite of what your friend thinks? Could it cause an uncomfortable situation in todays politics, drawing lines in the sand of hatred? Could Beasley’s actions be a distraction in the Bills locker room? Guess the nature of the beast of the situation is when younger guys emerge at the wide receiver position like Gabriel Davis and Isiah McKenzie for the Bills, it a no- brainer. Remove the cancer that is making bigger money and call it a day in which the Bills have did that done that.

What guys does Cole Beasley have this in common with? Colin Kaepernick is one of the most over-hyped quarterbacks of all time. People still make his play on the field legendary. Kaepernick chose to kneel during the national Anthem. Kaepernick has never played again in the NFL. Probably never will. Antonio Brown last year went bat shit crazy taking off his shirt and quitting on the field in the middle of the game. Brown continues to rant and rave about his former quarterback Tom Brady. Cole Beasley is not exactly Kaepernick or Brown. Most teams don’t want distractions. Except if your Browns fan just watch that unfold when Deshaun Watson returns from his 11 game suspension. Beasley, like most players that have their feelings hurt, sold his house in Buffalo recently. Beasley has ranted and raved about the Bills Mafia. One day the fans would boo Beasley for his Anti-Vaxx beliefs, on the next day they seek his autograph the receiver said on social media. Beasley then would say he loves the fans in Buffalo. The next rant Beasley would say he never was booed in the visitors stadiums. Again Red States Blue States here we go again. Beasley would also comment on when Bills Legend Bruce Smith visit. Smith would tell the team to get vaccination shots and come together as a team and watch over your brother’s back while they watch yours. Obviously Beasley has some bad feelings pentdup inside him as the 2022 season is almost upon us. I think if the team gets desperate at the wide receiver position, they may take a chance on Beasley. I could also see Beasley not getting another shot as his own soap box is bigger than any team’s goals of winning the Superbowl. I believe in freedom of speech. When it comes to the team, it does not matter what color, creed, Vaxxer, or Non-Vaxxer you are. It’s about winning football games on Sundays which is that simple. When your off the field issues are questions to your teammates, then you are not on the same page.
