so that's a maybe?

Isn't this the same Beasley that Garrett had to talk out of quitting? In hindsight, maybe Garrett should have let Beasley quit.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

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 *****

Agreed. At least Dez liked us. He's just past his prime. Dez, at least, doesn't bash us constantly. I'd happily welcome Dez back if we were to sign him again. I can't say the same for Beasley.

I sincerely hope that Byron Jones clocks him on the first play when we play the Bills on Thanksgiving like Teague did to TO.

I don’t know what you’re referring to.

I don’t know what you’re referring to.

Insulting the franchise is okay with you as long as there is no insult to players or coaches. Have I got that right?

Jason Garrett does this to a player's hope .

It depends on the player, and on the insults. But regarding what Beasley said here, that’d be right. Though he didn’t really actually insult the franchise either if you read his comments.

This is a conflicting comment since he was already in Dallas after SMU ?

Somehow I’m sure this story is misrepresented.

The story isn't misrepresented. The quote is being misrepresented by people who didn't read the story. Here's the entire quote:

“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.”

In other words, it's not "I didn't want to play for Dallas" but rather "It wasn't my dream to play for Dallas", which seems to set people off because of who is saying it.

This guy quit football and had to talked back into playing by the Cowboys FO and Garrett,he seems very ungrateful.

It’s still totally ridiculous. I’d argue his comments were taken out of context. But thanks

You post this like it's bad. I think it's awesome.

You can't expect people to read, man. Come on!

 

[jblaze2004]

Was Beasley drafted?

Nope. You were an UDFA Rookie who had a chance to choose what team you signed with.

Therefore, if you didn't want to really be a Cowboy, and yet you signed here anyways, then I have no other choice but to guess Dallas was your ONLY option to play in the NFL then?

Oh Beasley. Just ****.

Wasnt he the guy who wanted to quit playing football and the organization or teammates talked to him and he kept pushing? Beas SHUT UP. Move on.

I take it you didn't read the story.

"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.

lmao he chose buffalo over the patriots. I got one word for you. Money. Bet he play the same role with the bills. With a worse qb lol.
