Beasley spent three seasons with the Bills, accumulating 227 receptions for 2,407 yards and 11 touchdowns. In his 2020 season, Beasley was named a Second-Team All-Pro after posting a career year with 82 receptions for 967 yards and four touchdowns.

This past season saw Beasley take a step back in his game, as he caught 82 passes, but only averaged 8.5 yards per-reception and scored one touchdown.

Beasley's release will now free up $6 million in salary cap space just one day after the Bills splashed in free agency with the signing of pass rusher Von Miller.
