Beasley spent the first seven years of his career playing with the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC East. He established himself as a strong slot receiver option.
Beasley then signed with the Buffalo Bills, for whom he played full seasons in 2019-2021. He also played two games for them in 2022, and two games for the Bucs.
With the Bills, Beasley’s offensive coordinator was Brian Daboll, who is now the Giants’ head coach. In Buffalo, Beasley had the best statistical seasons of his career. He averaged 4.85 catches and 51.2 yards per game during his Bills career, while catching 11 touchdowns.
Beasley is 34 and near the end of his career. He will be competing with Parris Campbell, Jamison Crowder, Jalin Hyatt and Wan’Dale Robinson for playing time.
