Beasley's agent said the thirty-three-year-old receiver is ''ready to be with his family after playing in 11 seasons and it's time to be a full-time dad and husband.'' 

Beasley announces his retirement after two games with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in which he caught four of five targets for 17 receiving yards. He also played just four snaps in Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Beasley was an emergency roster addition for the Bucs after the team suffered multiple injuries to their receiving corps. 

Beasley retires after 11 seasons, 554 catches, and 34 touchdowns. He played seven years with the Dallas Cowboys, three with the Buffalo Bills, and two games this season with Tampa Bay. 

Happy retirement Cole Beasley.
