I still say if you're looking for an upgrade at the WR position the Browns should take a long look at Cole Beasley. He's only been a very reliable and productive WR his entire career. I really have no idea why he's still on the open market so maybe there's something going on here I don't know. He is 33 but I don't think he would be a bad choice one a one or two year deal. Last season he had 82 receptions for 693 yards and a touchdown. He's not a home run guy but he is very reliable in helping move the chains. It looks like that's what the Browns will be looking for at least for the time being and that's always a good ingredient to have on offense.
There are a lot of people that say he's being blacklisted because of his many controversial COVID comments and refusal to be vaccinated. There is some smoke, Field Yates from ESPN recently posted a list of "notable players still on the open market" and Cole was ghosted. I mean, 82 receptions for 693 yards while catching 73.2 percent of his targets? I'd think he would be "notable", maybe it's just me.
On the other side of the coin, the league has been drafting a tremendous amount of WRs because they're cheap and under control. Veteran, marginal WRs are becoming devalued.
Probably a combination of a number of things. But I'm with you... if you're going to kick tires, he should be on our radar... because of all the points you made above.
