4 free-agent WRs the Cardinals could pursue before the 2022 season
By Jim Koch
Cole Beasley
2021 Team: Buffalo Bills
Cole Beasley is the ultimate possession receiver who could prove to be a valuable, “red zone” contributor for the Cards. That’s the part of Hopkins’ game that the squad missed the most when the 29-year-old was out of the lineup in 2021.
The 33-year-old Beasley can still produce, as evidenced by the 82 balls he caught for the Bills last year. That number is even more impressive when you consider that Beasley started only eight times last fall for Buffalo.
If Murray needs someone to bail him out on those crucial third-down plays, Beasley could be his man. The 5-foot-8, 174-pounder would be a savvy, less-expensive acquisition that could pay significant dividends for the Cardinals scoring attack.
