Cole Beasley's next contract

[AbeBeta]

I'd give Beasley about what Edelman gets. ~5.5 per year average. If he wants a bigger deal let him get it somewhere else. I like him, but his production can be replaced, and Cooper and Gallup are already better options than him in the passing game. The days of him being our best or 2nd best receiving target are gone.

Edelman gets that because he hit UFA coming off missing the entire 2017 season. That's not market value.

I think Cole and TCrawford could both be gone.

TWill also.

Is TWill already gone?

 

[links18]

Beasley has one foot out the door already of his own volition.

That would be another Jerry "Dumbo GM" Jones move. You never re-sign a slot WR that can easily be replaced.

Example - Beasley is 48-468-2 TD. Ryan Switzer is 29-223- 1 TD. The issue is that Cole Beasley has been in the NFL for 7 years. Switzer a grand total of 2 years playing with Brown and JuJu ahead of him. What was stopping Beasley from shining in 2017 and 2018 (before Cooper showed up)? He needs a no.1 to shine. Because all slot WR need a no.1 to shine. You do not need to resign them let alone a 3rd resign deal.

Do you know how many Cole Beasley's come out of college every year? Too many to count and they are good.

Learn from Bill Belichick and Sean Payton regarding slot WRs using the words of Easy E "Throw it the gutter and go buy another". Save the cap space for impact positions.

If that is the case then why would Beasley have such a demand in free agency. According to your own logic teams can draft slot receivers every year in the draft. Why pay in free agency?

After his explosion against Jax he sent up one of his TD balls to jerry and wrote something to the tune of get your checkbook out.

He has also stated that he feels he should be paid amongst the top slot receivers.

Feel like $5.5m AAV is underpaying from his vantage point, not overpaying.

Given his age, his limited skill set, his very modest output, and the ease of acquiring solid slot receivers, I would let him walk. Or possibly move Cooper to slot, and find a speedster for the Y receiver spot.

This is the only correct answer. Draft another mid round guy...aka switzer and lets go. Anyone remember what the Cowboys already offered Cole?

Who are these folks demanding Beasley in free agency?

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Guys we have a slot receiver already in the roster. Hurns best season came mainly from the slot. I keep hearing things like put Cooper at the slot and draft an outside guy...... Seriously. It's ok to move Cooper in the slot from time to time but no way should he be the slot receiver. Much easier to find a slot guy than a beast like Cooper on the outside

I have no idea. Apparently a majority of posters in this thread believe he will get top dollar in free agency

I wouldn't sign him for lowest contract allowed. We need to keep getting younger and Beasley doesn't bring anything special to the team. He has a couple nice catches from time to time but a rookie can produce that. Cooper and Gallup are clearly the guys going forward. Plus we have Brown and Wilson. Add to the fact we have a ton of contacts coming up I rather sign Lawrence, Dak, Zeke, Jones, Jaylon etc. than a slot receiver that wants top dollar and is aging and brings nothing in the return game.

I disagree. You never know what you are going to get with a rookie. Look at Switzer. He did nothing his rookie year. Like all receivers, they tend to need a year or two to develop and catch up to the speed in the nfl versus college.

Beasley may not be a game changer, but he is as reliable as they come in terms of production and moves the chains. Which is what this team is all about. Grinding down your opponenets.

Plus, he is always healthy and in the field.

Well worth a next contract imo.

 

[Future]

I think Beasley's next contract is with somebody else.

Word. He already turned down an offer before this season.

I don't think he likes this offense at allllll. I'd bet he ends up in either NE or NO who both love guys who can get open quick.

 

[TheSkaven]

The Bease only has a few games left as a Cowboy.

Hard to see him returning at this point.

I agree. At 29, this is Cole's best chance for a payout, the money he'll be living on for the rest of his life. He should go for what he deserves, and it shouldn't be with us in Dallas. If he's willing to come back for a contract similar to what he has now (he won't), I'd welcome him back with open arms.

I would sure hate to see him land in Washington, New York or Philly.

 

[CF74]

I hope we draft another 3rd or 4th round sleeper with speed...

 

[TwoCentPlain]

Beasley is a good player. The only way he leaves is if some team offers him a really, really high contract. If a team does that, that shows how good he really is. The Cowboys will probably get an opportunity to match because I think Beasley wants to stay a Cowboy.

If other teams are not interested, then Beasley will probably sign with the Cowboys for a little more than his last contract.

I hope Beasley is back with the Cowboys next year. No one can complain about his play over the years. He has produced and gave it his all.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

I think Cole and TCrawford could both be gone.

TWill also.

TWill gone is a given.

I don't understand why the Cowboys would not want Crawford back. His contract is not outrageous. He plays hard, produces, is on the field, and can play all 4 DL positions. 31 Teams would love for the Cowboys to cut Crawford and have a chance to sign him.

31 Teams would love the opportunity to sign Beasley. He gets open.

Keep Crawford, Beasley can walk

Hopefully they give him the Dez treatment, I can’t wait to see that tweeting cancerous cry baby headache and his wife gone.

Notes;

In 2016 Beasely had the 3rd highest catch rates among wide receivers, was rated 3rd best slot receiver in NFL per PFF, and had the 3rd best "separation at target" at 3.48 on 74.1 percent of targets among slot wide receivers per Next Gen Stats.

(In other words, this is what we need to replace). Personally I don't think Hurns is a good option here as suggested by some. Our quarterback needs receivers who get open quickly, not just people. Think Emmanuel Sanders type.

According to this list, if we are going to replace Beasely looks like it either needs to be with picks round 1-3.... or undrafted lol but certainly not with picks round 4-7! (Apparently)

...unless your name is Switzer! Where ya at buddy?!?!

So long!

So long!

Pretty much, he was always far more average than most fans seem to think, 2016 the anomaly.
