Report: Cole Beasley Retires
October 5th, 2022
Hangs it up.
That didn’t last long.
After two games with the Bucs, veteran receiver Cole Beasley has decided to retire, claims Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Beasley ends his storied career with the Bucs having caught four balls for 17 yards.
Apparently, Beasley wants to spend more time with his family.
Where have we heard that before?
October 5th, 2022 at 12:25 pm
Scotty Miller is breathing a sigh of relief as we speak but wait you hear that music in the distance…
OMG IT’S OBJ!!
October 5th, 2022 at 12:28 pm
LOL
October 5th, 2022 at 12:31 pm
Didn’t expect that one
October 5th, 2022 at 12:32 pm
Scotty Miller paid him to retire
October 5th, 2022 at 12:33 pm
Wow
October 5th, 2022 at 12:33 pm
OBJ
October 5th, 2022 at 12:36 pm
Try and claim Andy Isabella. I don’t know if he had any other issue besides having a terrible quarterback, who doesn’t do anticipation throws.
October 5th, 2022 at 12:36 pm
Cole’s been talking to Gronk & Ali. Wonder if Tom’s next.
October 5th, 2022 at 12:37 pm
I didn’t have that one on my bingo card lol
October 5th, 2022 at 12:40 pm
True Bucs legend of course.
October 5th, 2022 at 12:40 pm
A couple of catches…short of the first down marker…while falling down. Wishing continued success to Cole as we say in the biz world.
October 5th, 2022 at 12:40 pm
I wonder if I can return my Beasley jersey?!?
October 5th, 2022 at 12:43 pm
SIGN OBJ AND BE DONE WITH IT!
(also knew we should have signed Von Miller, JTS is all hype)
October 5th, 2022 at 12:43 pm
Give # 15 back to Grayson ( I know…he can’t return until Week 8 or so per league rules…and may be a “Commander” by now ).
October 5th, 2022 at 12:43 pm
Maybe they asked him to vaccinate.
October 5th, 2022 at 12:44 pm
Oh man, he must have banged Giselle too.
October 5th, 2022 at 12:44 pm
@Defense Rules Tom,who?
October 5th, 2022 at 12:45 pm
Definitely Bucs have to search for a WR not too old but with experience.
Julio Jones one of the best but injuries will keep him sidelined.
Time to negotiate draft picks for a good WR.
October 5th, 2022 at 12:45 pm
Geez. What the hell was the point? That guy just needed two more weekly paychecks to get back on top before retirement? Does he still get a signing bonus or how does the contract work out? A guy could get a huge signing bonus to retire when the check clears? Shouldn’t get any money from playing with the Bucs.
October 5th, 2022 at 12:46 pm
Bring back Grayson.
October 5th, 2022 at 12:46 pm
Has he agreed to enter the HOF as a Buc?
October 5th, 2022 at 12:47 pm
I am exhausted by this yrs team. This is the most unlikeable good team I’ve ever seen. We are competitive and yet, a huge dumpster fire at the same time
October 5th, 2022 at 12:49 pm
He most likely can’t to the conclusion he couldn’t do it anymore
October 5th, 2022 at 12:49 pm
Very graceful of the Bucs to let him go on his own terms, rather than a public shove out the door. Who’s next.
October 5th, 2022 at 12:49 pm
WTF
October 5th, 2022 at 12:51 pm
Quitter
October 5th, 2022 at 12:53 pm
Adam Humphries? Grayson? A 6th for Tyler Johnson?
October 5th, 2022 at 12:54 pm
Jesus H Christ, this is a low punch…..
Nobody expected this one…..
October 5th, 2022 at 12:58 pm
good for nothing, probably made some change
take julio and both of ya gtfo
October 5th, 2022 at 1:00 pm
That was pointless would have rather used one of the practice squad guys.
Everyone keeps saying OBJ. Can he even play? Is his recovery over?
October 5th, 2022 at 1:06 pm
OBJ should be back in November. However he will demand too much money. But I would never totally dismiss it.
October 5th, 2022 at 1:08 pm
Wanted to catch a few passes from the goat before retiring.
October 5th, 2022 at 1:09 pm
OBJ is just another injury waiting to happen player . The Bucs have enough of those already.
October 5th, 2022 at 1:10 pm
One more activation from the practice squad for Beasley and we would have to give up a roster spot.
The likelihood of him getting snaps with a healthier WR corps is slim.
Evans, Godwin Jones, Gage, Perriman, Darden, Miller, ……Beasley…..nope.
Nothing ventured nothing gained, nothing lost…..
October 5th, 2022 at 1:10 pm
The interesting thing is that Cole Beasley is not only a Justin Turner look-alike, but also hired him as his agent… WILD!
October 5th, 2022 at 1:16 pm
Just a guy. Congrats on the 11 yr career.
October 5th, 2022 at 1:22 pm
What?
October 5th, 2022 at 1:27 pm
Sooooo you in this man’s dm asking to be signed n then you choose to retire lol he a clown f’im all he did was play like Scotty miller anyway
October 5th, 2022 at 1:31 pm
His first catch was brilliant…but he wasn’t even looking for the ball on one route, & his last play he tried to run and just fell down.
October 5th, 2022 at 1:31 pm
Giselle right now to Tom: “See ?!?”
LOL.
You honestly couldn’t write a comedy as strange and twisted as the 2022 Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
October 5th, 2022 at 1:34 pm
Tampabaybucsfan- you’re under the assumption that our receivers will all be healthy? That’s bold.
October 5th, 2022 at 1:39 pm
At the very least do we elevate Geiger or finally give Thompkins a chance?
October 5th, 2022 at 1:41 pm
Just heard Todd Bowles is away from practice today for personal reasons.
October 5th, 2022 at 1:52 pm
Stop with OBJ. He had a worst injury later in the year. Godwin is not totally healthy yet. OBJ is not the answer.
October 5th, 2022 at 1:53 pm
he should take Julio with him.. Licht better be talking to OBJ …..
October 5th, 2022 at 1:53 pm
Todd is attending a clinic on how to teach grown football players how to tackle. Then he can fail to execute the coaching again.
October 5th, 2022 at 1:54 pm
We need a tough TE, not more fragile WRs.
October 5th, 2022 at 1:56 pm
HE was on a 10 day contract. He knew he’d have to kick rocks when the injured receivers returned.
October 5th, 2022 at 2:04 pm
Devin Thompkins
October 5th, 2022 at 2:06 pm
The 2022 Bucs dramedy:
– Pathetic playoff loss to the Rams, fueled by some insanely biased and bullchit officiating.
– Brady retires
– Brady unretires 40 days later
– Bruce Arians retires days later
– Brady takes off 11 days in the middle of camp
– Team does not appear to be “all in” anymore
– Every receiver gets hurt so they sign Cole Beasley
– Beasley retires after 2 games to be with family, pulling a reverse Tom Brady
– Todd Bowles takes of random Wednesday in the middle of the season
EVERYTHING IS TOTALLY FINE YOU GUYS!!!
October 5th, 2022 at 2:12 pm
Nah I think he’s retiring because someone else is coming in. Hopefully it’s to save face from being cut. We’ll be drafting a receiver pretty high next year.
October 5th, 2022 at 2:16 pm
@Richard Dickson, got it right!!!
That or he is Grand Standing Tom with his “family values”.
Don’t really know and don’t really care. No more EXCUSES. LOL
October 5th, 2022 at 2:30 pm
Unbelievable, don’t forget Marpet retiring at 28 years old and Jensen being lost for the season on the first practice.
October 5th, 2022 at 2:35 pm
It’s not because of family. This dude was all over Tom’s jock and slidin in DMs to decide 2 games later that he’d rather be home like the rest of us on Sundays.
October 5th, 2022 at 2:35 pm
The Bucs sucking and Tua suffering a potential brain injury makes players question if enough is enough … Tom is next.
October 5th, 2022 at 2:40 pm
OBJ
October 5th, 2022 at 2:42 pm
Wow, this is the same guy who was all up in Brady’s DMs bugging him to play, scorned other teams to join us, and just says “nah bro, I’m out”. What was the point?! My only question is, who tripped better? Beasley or Darden?
October 5th, 2022 at 2:42 pm
My Beasley jersey is on route to be delivered by saturday. Good thing fanatics has a money back guarantee….. hahaha.
October 5th, 2022 at 2:43 pm
Everyone is getting healthy again and he wasn’t going to get production. Not like he came in and made things better.
October 5th, 2022 at 2:45 pm
It’s time to call up Devin Tompkins!!! MR. HANDS!!!
October 5th, 2022 at 2:51 pm
Mrs. Beasley missed Buffy and Mr. French.
October 5th, 2022 at 2:56 pm
Didn’t see this one coming! Who did? Wow.
October 5th, 2022 at 3:00 pm
Opening a roster spot for Travis Kelce, who’s tired of all the trick passes.
October 5th, 2022 at 3:00 pm
Lol I forwarded the link to someone else and realized the URL says “coke” beasley.
October 5th, 2022 at 3:01 pm
He couldn’t separate
He probably saw film from KC game and knew he was done
We appreciate the effort
October 5th, 2022 at 3:02 pm
Obj. And Suh.
October 5th, 2022 at 3:05 pm
“Coke Beasley” could be an epic halloween costume…
October 5th, 2022 at 3:06 pm
Makes you wonder how “little” that rotator cuff is. Maybe Cole sniffing that he isnt gonna be catching passes from Tom after all?
October 5th, 2022 at 3:06 pm
Meh
October 5th, 2022 at 3:08 pm
Maybe things aren’t so good in Bowles world or BL wanted him to do a triple somersault during a reverse double twist screen pass on 2nd and 30. Wife and kids, that sound familiar? I wonder who’s next???
October 5th, 2022 at 3:13 pm
Here comes OBJ
October 5th, 2022 at 3:16 pm
Maybe after seeing what he feels is a failing team he decided he didn’t have a chance at the SB like he thought he would with Tom. I hope he is dead wrong.
October 5th, 2022 at 3:19 pm
He knows he has declined to a level of suckage that he can’t hide from. That last catch was pathetic.
October 5th, 2022 at 3:27 pm
Bucs already startint to pack it in for the season? Sheesh
Not feeling great about ’22.
October 5th, 2022 at 3:35 pm
Goatfarmer Says:
“That last catch was pathetic.”
____________
It sure as hell was.
What the HELL was THAT??
I was excited when he signed him, but not anytime after.
No big loss.
October 5th, 2022 at 3:35 pm
He didn’t like that BL’s game plan was written in crayon.
October 5th, 2022 at 3:35 pm
Wana punch this sack of spit in the gut
October 5th, 2022 at 3:39 pm
At this point I’d say the dumpster is smoldering.
October 5th, 2022 at 3:40 pm
I agree with the above… It would be nice to have both Gronk and
OBJ on board for the second half of the season.
They would probably have to restructure LT Smith in order to get all that done…
October 5th, 2022 at 3:51 pm
You ain’t wrong Cobra.
October 5th, 2022 at 3:55 pm
Cobra & Doosh, you are certainly entitled to your opinion, but for me Cole Beasley leaving the team hardly equates to a smoldering dumpster.
More like an inconsequential bush getting knocked over in the forest.
October 5th, 2022 at 4:01 pm
I get your overall point that this has been an ODD offseason & season beginning, to say the least. But at the SAME time… it’s NOT really that hard to imagine it all coming together.
If this team reaches it’s goal this season, just THINK of all the stories we will remember about the year that got us there.
It will make 2000 look like child’s play, when we were sitting 8-5 and most national pundits had us DEAD IN THE WATER.
October 5th, 2022 at 4:01 pm
Correction, 7-5 i believe.
October 5th, 2022 at 4:03 pm
And correction, 2020, not 2000.
Jeez. What is my problem??!!
Sorry.
October 5th, 2022 at 4:04 pm
At least nothing has been consistent for the Bucs so far this year, other than inability to stop the run, poor tackling, poor kickoffs and punts, fumbling, and brain dead game planning and playcalling.
October 5th, 2022 at 4:15 pm
Well, I don’t blame him ,the bucks signed him,and then didn’t play him,! When they should of , enjoy your retirement!
October 5th, 2022 at 4:24 pm
Brady ain’t going nowhere, we got the next 4 games to beat up on some garbage teams & get the confidence going. Once playoffs start then the season really begins. Brady’s gonna throw for more yards this year, Mike Evans will have more TD’s than any other season, & the BUCS end up playing KC in the Superbowl, Brady gets his 8th & rides off into the sunset.

Can’ t blame him ,the bucks signed him,and didn’t play him when they should of!enjoy your retirement!
October 5th, 2022 at 4:46 pm
The NFL world has gone bizarro….
October 5th, 2022 at 5:09 pm
Aint this the same dude that in Brady dm asking for a job??
#NoBradySlander
October 5th, 2022 at 5:10 pm
Something isn’t right with this. Didn’t he say he had better offers but was looking for a team that was going to compete for a Super Bowl? Maybe Cole sees something we’re not. I wonder if we’ll see him in another uniform in a week or two.
October 5th, 2022 at 5:15 pm
That Sucks.
Beasley is a Vet Receiver, with the kind of skills Brady loves.
Mysterious, but helped us out in a time of need.
Enjoy retirement Sir
October 5th, 2022 at 5:26 pm
Its very strange and I can only assume there was some kind of problem behind the scenes. Maybe it truely was his family but since since we will never know I will just wildly guess he doesnt like Gronk and when he heard Gronk was returning he bailed. Why not?
October 5th, 2022 at 5:27 pm
How many plays was he in during KC game. He came here to play with Brady, not ride pine.
October 5th, 2022 at 5:35 pm
Julio Jones needs to follow.
October 5th, 2022 at 5:38 pm
This reminds me of the GIF of Chip Kelley walking through the door – seeing Josh Freeman he puts the hat back on and walks right back out the door…
Could the same thing have happened with Cole Beasley and OC BL?
LOL…
October 5th, 2022 at 5:38 pm
*Kelly…
October 5th, 2022 at 5:40 pm
So, Cole Beasley tells the Bucs to go pound sand, lol
October 5th, 2022 at 5:44 pm
He came to play with Brady and knows Brady is leaving.
October 5th, 2022 at 5:53 pm
Bucs should bring in another old player, who don’t wanna be jerked around.
October 5th, 2022 at 5:55 pm
wtf ?
did gisele send him home ?
did AB threaten his life ?
October 5th, 2022 at 5:57 pm
brady could be buckling or have a really bad shoulder – and is quitting as well…and it will all just be blamed on gisele
October 5th, 2022 at 6:00 pm
Best wishes for you & family. You just made your best play.
October 5th, 2022 at 6:01 pm
everyone wants into tampa…
but beasley basically begged tommy b to play, then bailed out…
something’s fishy af…
#BeasleyBasicallyBeggedBuckledBailed #Bumba
October 5th, 2022 at 6:09 pm
One of the best receivers Bucs had, was Cole Beasley.
And they put him on practice squad, like he’s an amateur.
October 5th, 2022 at 6:13 pm
“Everyone wants into Tampa”
That’s why Beasley just quit?
Another armchair no-body, lol
October 5th, 2022 at 6:27 pm
I’d want into Tampa too, if I didn’t have no job.
October 5th, 2022 at 6:37 pm
Guys his second week in Tampa a hurricane hits, he’s forced to practice and live in a hotel with screaming kids and barking dogs plus didn’t play, he must of said to myself, I want out of this sh@t show!
October 5th, 2022 at 6:38 pm
OBJ!
Why not??!!!
October 5th, 2022 at 7:40 pm
Evans, Godwin, Gage hardly came out of the KC game–probably decided he wasn’t interested in playing mostly ST snaps and being WR 5. No respect.
October 5th, 2022 at 8:46 pm
no way ^^^ with JJ and CG, he was literally a play away from being a #3…or even a #2 with gage getting banged up as well…
something went down, because he lobbied hard to become a buc – he said it himself
October 5th, 2022 at 9:26 pm
Anyone watching the atrocity against the Chiefs would see, he just fell down.
Not in football shape.
Not motivated to learn a playbook with Tom’s expectations (thank god) on top of it.
Not going to break into the top 4.
Whatever. He was not here. Contributes to 2 losses. He has gone to pasture and knows it.
October 5th, 2022 at 10:40 pm
Gronk!
October 5th, 2022 at 10:51 pm
Just more of the same TRAGIC DRAMA plaguing this team. Things started going askew last year and have never righted themselves. Doesn’t feel like this is going to change anytime soon.
October 6th, 2022 at 10:56 am
Storied career??? Calm down man.
