Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley railed against the NFL’s new and very rigid COVID-19 protocols for training camp and the preseason. The NFL and NFL Players Association agreed upon new COVID-19 protocols, which are far more critical of unvaccinated players than those who are fully vaccinated. Unvaccinated players will face daily COVID-19 tests, must wear a mask in the team facility and during travel, and are barred from leaving the hotel to eat at a restaurant. First violations of the NFL’s COVID-19 protocols can result in a $50,000 fine.
Beasley, who has two years and roughly $11.9 million remaining on his contract with the Bills, seemed to hint that he is willing to quit or be fired from the NFL over his COVID-19 vaccine stance. ” Fine me if you want,” Beasley stated. “I’ll play for free this year to live life the way I’ve lived it from Day 1,” Beasley said. “I love my teammates and enjoy playing ball because all the outside BS goes out the window in these moments,” Beasley continued.
“Beasley said, “a lot of other NFL players” agree with his position on coronavirus vaccinations, but “aren’t in the right place in their careers to be so outspoken. “I’m hoping I’m doing my part to represent you guys well,” the second-team All-Pro wide receiver concluded. “Fellow Bills receiver Isaiah McKenzie reacted to Beasley’s impassioned message, “I see you out there fighting brotha love it. “In May, Beasley emphasized, “I don’t have a problem with anybody getting the vaccine.
“Last month, In May, Bills general manager Brandon Beane answered a hypothetical question about unvaccinated players, which he revealed that he would be inclined to cut an unvaccinated player if it helped the franchise reach an NFL threshold to relax COVID-19 restrictions. ” In 2020, Beasley caught 82 receptions for 967 yards, both career highs.
