Cole Beasley is one of the bigger wide receiver names out on the free agent market. Green Bay is in the mix for a wide receiver. Even with the depth they have from a youth perspective, Green Bay likely needs one veteran receiver to compliment Davante Adams and give Aaron Rodgers another player with some experience. Some believe Beasley could be that dude. You might recall in January, Donald Driver tried to recruit Beasley to come play for Green Bay. Jane Slater of the NFL Network reported the Packers could be in the mix for him as it sounds like the relationship between him and the Cowboys is coming to an end.

#Cowboys WR Cole Beasley if not Dallas where? Beasley wants to stay, #Cowboys tell me they want him but as he turns 30 can he command a 4 year deal in the 20M guaranteed range? A few teams who would make sense… pic.twitter.com/f6NGkZ6CPF

While this sounds all fine and dandy, there is a problem. Beasley wants 20 million guaranteed. That likely means a team will have shell out a contract of around 4 years, 32 to 36 million dollars to get a deal done. That seems absolutely wild to me for Beasley. I do not think that money is worth it for a 29-year-old slot receiver. While I understand that he does not come cheap, I also do not want to hand out 20 million guaranteed to almost any available wide receiver. That feels excessive and reckless. Maybe Beasley knows a team that will give him that sort of deal, but I cannot figure out who that might be honestly. That’s a steep price to pay for someone who has done nothing in the last two years.

Beasley and his team will argue that the offense changed and this led to the lack of production yet still, you cannot expect to get paid off potential at age 29. That might work for a Landon Collins-type who is 25 years young. If he comes in a bit more realistic from a guaranteed money perspective, I could see Green Bay open to the idea.
