Cowboys Rumors: Will Cole Beasley Leave Dallas? Receiver's Tweets Spark Speculation

The Dallas Cowboys fired offensive coordinator Scott Linehan after the team’s offense disappointed in 2018, but they may have another problem on their hands. Wide receiver Cole Beasley, who is entering free agency, took to Twitter on Tuesday to criticize the way the Cowboys have utilized his talents.

Beasley posted a series of tweets in which he candidly talked about how little he has been targeted in the Cowboys’ passing game. The 29-year-old receiver finished 2018 with 65 catches for 672 yards and three touchdowns. Those numbers were the second-best of his career, but a decent bit behind the pace he set in 2016, when he had 833 yards and the Cowboys had one of the best offenses in the NFL.

In the tweets, Beasley said the Dallas front office “pushes who they want to get the ball” and said he would play anywhere where he could “make more of an impact,” whether that be Dallas or elsewhere.

While Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has been scrutinized ever since he became the starter in 2016, Beasley stopped short of criticizing him. Beasley said he loves Prescott in another tweet.

While Beasley has not been a top receiver thus far in his career, losing him could be troublesome for the Cowboys. The team enters the 2019 offseason thin at wide receiver, even after trading for Amari Cooper halfway through the season. Beasley is their most dependable target after Cooper, with Allen Hurns recovering from injury and fellow free agent Tavon Austin not contributing much during the season.

Of course, the Cowboys could find a replacement or even an improvement in the draft or free agency. If Beasley opts to return to Dallas, the team’s new offensive coordinator will have to figure out a way to keep everyone happy while improving upon the 2018 team’s production.
