Should Cole Beasley Received Another Contract Extension?

Is Cole Beasley the Cowboys “New” No. 1 Wide Receiver?

The Dallas Cowboys have been pretty adamant they don’t need a true No. 1 Wide Receiver in 2018 since the release of Dez Bryant. I think that’s true to a certain extent, but I also believe that someone will organically emerge as the “go to” guy. So far at training camp, that guy has been Cole …

The Dallas Cowboys have already shown a tremendous amount of faith in Randy Gregory. First when they decided to draft him in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft despite his well-documented drug problems, and then again standing by him throughout his suspensions.
