No, but you couple that with the implication that he was not being used correctly, yes, he still has an axe to grind.

A lot of players have an axe to grind. Landon Collins is still talking about the Giants/Gettleman.
For some reason WR's are divas of the sport, outside of Cooper lol.

CowboysZone ULTIMATE Fan
My response to anything Cole Beasley says will be commensurate with his NFL career up to this point: Meh.

For all the Cole Beasley fans who may still be out there as well as Bills fans excited he signed there, I have one other response: 3 catches for 31 yards. That’s his career per game avg performance. That’s not horrible. But that’s also not something that cannot be replaced either.

Meh.

"I didn't really feel like I was going to get a real chance to play like I wanted to"
“The role that they had in mind for me, you know, I'd already been in that role before with the Cowboys.. It's not really something that I wanted to do. People will be like, ‘You're crazy, the Patriots win every year.’ Yes, winning is fun, but if you're not playing and you're on a winning team – I mean, I would have been playing, but not like I would want to be.”


I don't know what he expected the Cowboys to do. Plug in a 5-8 tiny player on the outside and pretend he could beat strong press coverage?

And what on earth would he think the Patriots would do otherwise? Honestly, I don't think he was misused in Dallas and would have all kinds of potential in New England.

I am going to laugh and laugh and laugh as he fizzles out in Buffalo.

It is certainly his right to believe that he was underused and seek another opportunity to prove that he can do more. I think he's going to find out, though, that he's simply a very good slot receiver. We tried to use him on the outside last season and he couldn't regularly win those matchups. He's an underneath guy who is hard to cover one-on-one because DBs can't read which way he's breaking. Against zones, that advantage is negated because he's got underneath coverage on either side of him with teams knowing that he's not really a threat to get by the coverage and beat them deep.

Beasley deserves all the hate Dez unrightfully gets

This guy wants to throw sucker punches every time he gets the opportunity

Enjoy the Buffalo weather and the inevitable losing *****
I was gonna say the same thing. Dez’s biggest fault is loving the Cowboys too much. Beasley is the one who should be getting this hatred Dez gets.

Eh, read the article. It's not as bad as some are assuming it to be.

The ranch sits about 250 miles from Dallas, where Beasley played for the Cowboys. Prior to the NFL, he attended Southern Methodist University and Little Elm High School, so he’s never played a home football game outside America’s ninth-largest city. You might think that with such deep Texas roots, it would have been tough for Beasley to move to Buffalo.

There was no sentimentality involved when Beasley signed with the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent in 2012. Rather, it was strictly a business decision.

“Dallas was never really like a place I really, really wanted to go,” he said. “It more so just kind of worked out that way. I was an undrafted free agent, so we were just looking based on numbers and rosters and everything. I didn't really care. I just wanted a chance to play in the NFL for any team. So, it really didn't matter to me which one.”

The build up before that quote was talking bout how he bought 730 acres ~250 miles from Dallas where he built a house so his family could spend time together and hunt. And that he had played football pretty close to Dallas.


I stand by my comments of him but yeah that title is taken out or context.

And people wondered why I hated h8m even when he played for Dallas. He’s a straight up midget chump who tries to make up for his small size with his mouth.

Undrafted free agents can sign anywhere Beasley.

IF you didn't want to go to Dallas you didn't have to.
