Report: Cole Beasley asking for $20M guaranteed
It’s no secret that the New Orleans Saints need an upgrade at wide receiver, and Dallas Cowboys slot specialist Cole Beasley makes a ton of sense for them. However, his price range could be too rich for their blood — per Clarence Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth-Star Telegram, Beasley is demanding $20 million in guarantees on his next contract. The Cowboys are balking at that.
Such a number would place Beasley high among the NFL’s veteran receivers, creating a tie with DeSean Jackson and Emmanuel Sanders for 13th in the league. In 2018, Sanders set the bar at 72.3 receiving yards per game. Jackson averaged 64.5 receiving yards per game. Beasley posted a respectable, if unimpressive, 42.0.
