Ex-Cowboy wants to reunite with Dak Prescott

"On Sunday, Jerry's boss now, I'm a dog when Dak gets the ball out," – Cole Beasley on his rap single '80 Stings'.
The former second-team All-Pro remains a free agent after being released by the Buffalo Bills back in March.
It's been a surprise that the proven slot receiver hasn't found a team so far, although recent reports indicate that's more of a personal decision. Mike Garofolo from NFL Network reported that Beasley has gotten offers but is waiting for the right opportunity.
One of the opportunities Beasley would be interested in would be reuniting with Dak Prescott in Dallas.
Source? Beasley himself.
It's fair to say Cole Beasley and the Cowboys didn't part ways on the best of terms. To say he'd come back because of Dak Prescott speaks highly of how players look at a quarterback considered as one of the best leaders in the NFL.
Prescott and Beasley played together for three seasons between 2016 and 2018. Over that span, Beasley averaged over 600 receiving yards per season and totaled 12 touchdowns.
Throughout his career, Dak has elevated Cowboys' receivers playing out of the slot. Heading into the 2022 season, Dallas has versatile weapons in CeeDee Lamb and Jalen Tolbert as both can play outside or inside.
Adding Beasley could provide an upgrade for Dallas as well as insurance in case Tolbert's development takes longer than expected.
Of course, as the Cowboys' conservative approach has made it clear for years, the price would have to be right. Unless Beasley is willing to take a lower number than what he was set to make with the Bills (7.25 million per year on average), there's little to no chance of a reunion taking place.
