IRVING, Tex. - Wide receiver Cole Beasley and the Dallas Cowboys agreed to a four-year contract on Tuesday, a day after Dez Bryant was given the franchise tag by the team, according to multiple reports.
The deal is reportedly worth nearly $14 million for the former SMU standout, with $7 million guaranteed, though possible incentives could add $1.5 million.
Beasley, who was set to become a restricted free agent, will also receive a $4 million signing bonus.
He caught 37 passes for 421 yards last season, adding four touchdowns during the Cowboys' 5-1 stretch to close out the regular season, a 12-4 campaign that found the team advance to the NFC Divisional Round. Another 101 yards came on seven receptions in two postseason games against Detroit and Green Bay.
"He's quick, he's fast, he's explosive, and he's strong," head coach Jason Garrett said of Beasley. "He's a sneaky guy cause when he walks in, he looks like the paperboy. He does. He's like, 'hey, give me my $3.85 for the last seven days.' He's something else. He just has a knack about him and I think people do under-appreciate how physically talented he is."
In three seasons with the club, he has 91 receptions for 916 yards.
