New Orleans Saints: 3 Dream trade targets from Bills before 2020 training camp
By Dan Parzych
1. Cole Beasley
After finally finding a new quarterback to build the offense around during the 2018 season in Allen, the Bills knew the next step was to make sure the youngster had the proper weapons to work with in the passing game.
In comparison to other players at the position across the league, Cole Beasley certainly doesn’t stand out like some of the other receivers, but the veteran has always been considered an underrated threat throughout his career.
The 67 catches for 778 yards with six touchdowns may not seem like that big of a deal for receiver like Beasley, but also keep in mind he isn’t considered the top option at receiver for Buffalo.
While the Bills’ offense will benefit in a big way from Beasley playing alongside both John Brown and Stefon Diggs in 2020, they could also afford to trade him if the opportunity came up with another team.
New Orleans had some inconsistency issues at wide receiver beyond Michael Thomas in 2019, and while Emmanuel Sanders was a great addition in free agency, another reliable target like Beasley will only make the receiving corps stronger.
Plus, in regard to Drew Brees, the future Hall of Famer would be in better position himself to compete for the MVP award with Beasley added to the mix, but also if this increases the chances for the Saints to make a Super Bowl run, this is what really matters the most.
