Tom Brady 's options at wide receiver have now become limited as Cole Beasley has decided to retire just a quarter of the way into the NFL season.
Beasley was only picked up by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in September, and played twice after he featured in defeats to Green Bay Packers and Kansas City Chiefs. The veteran receiver was undrafted due to his smaller size, but was signed to his home state team the Dallas Cowboys in 2012.
The receiver proved that he was worthy over the next ten years, and later joined the Buffalo Bills before ending his career with the Bucs. Beasley was only signed this season to bolster Brady's options, but his retirement will come as a major blow to their potential Super Bowl hopes.
