Buffalo Bills receiver Cole Beasley targeted the NFLPA in a strange Twitter rant in which he appeared to express frustrations with the NFL's COVID protocols for the upcoming season.
Beasley quote-tweeted Tom Pelissero's report of the updated protocols, suggesting vaccinated players allowed to leave team facilities or hotels on the road can still bring the virus back:
“This is crazy,” the Bills wideout tweeted. “Did we vote on this? I stay in the hotel. We still have meetings. We will all be together. Vaccinated players can go out the hotel and bring covid back in to where I am. So what does it matter if I stay in the hotel now? 100 percent immune with vaccination? No.”
Beasley was hardly done, however. He made a strange comparison to the odds of him playing a decade in the NFL being lower than the odds of someone who is already vaccinated contracting COVID.

The Bills slot receiver then said the NFL stands to benefit the most from the players being vaccinated before suggesting someone needs to lobby on behalf of the players:
“That’s all…I don’t know who I need to talk to but someone has to get it right,” Beasley continued. “That’s why I’m on here. Hopefully the right people will see it and at least think about how all this NFLPA stuff works. It needs to be changed.”
Beasley's comments got all sorts of responses from Bills followers and football fans in general.
Beasley, in his third season with the Bills, is hardly the only NFL player to express skepticism with respect to the vaccine. Lamar Jackson and Zach Wilson were among those who recently refused to answer whether they were vaccinated.
However, Beasley seems to be taking on the entire NFLPA.
