Ben Rogers of 105.3 The Fan reports the Cowboys wanted Beasley back but weren't willing to go where several other teams were financially. NFL reporter Jane Slater confirmed that Tuesday when she reported the Cowboys offer to Beasley was for $18 million over three years.
Cowboys never had a good feel for Cole's market. Weren't willing to go where several other teams clearly were. https://t.co/jnlPPyHMHt

How far apart were Dallas and Buffalo? Really far! #Cowboys final offer I'm told was roughly 18M over 3 yrs. WR Cole Beasley will see most of his money in the first two seasons with Bills. Averaged roughly 58 balls in 4 seasons with Dallas, looking for closer to 75 in Buffalo.
