Buffalo Bills receiver Cole Beasley has been fined multiple times for COVID-19 protocol violations, reaching a cumulative sum in the range of $100,000, according to league and union sources.

Beasley was fined $14,600 in August on a day when league officials were in the facility to review the protocols with the Bills, which the NFL did with all 32 teams before the 2021 season. Beasley was observed by one of the league officials when not complying with mandatory protocols for unvaccinated players.

The $14,600 fine has been doubled on more than one occasion via video monitoring by the league, per sources. One source estimated the fines have reached the sum of $100,000. Another source believed it was just short of that amount.

Beasley's COVID-19 absence for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots won't cost him money, though. Under the NFL and NFLPA agreement, even unvaccinated players are entitled to their full pay if they miss a game due to COVID-19. Beasley makes $4.7 million in base salary and will receive his $261,111 game check. There are several team execs who believe it's one loophole that needs to be revisited for 2022, believing an unvaccinated player who lands of the reserve/COVID-19 list should not be paid if he misses a game or games. This is the first time Beasley has landed on the list.

1. He was and is a total piece of shit.

As is Josh Allen, his quarterback

He did this to himself.

3. Good.

His replacement Isaiah McKenzie had a great game - 11 receptions, 125 yards, 1 touchdown in the Bills win over the Patriots. Maybe Covid boy is expendable.

4. You call him boy? I don't think we can call grown men "boy" anymore.

5. Die hard Bills fan here, and this is the second best Bills news of the day!

Beating NE was first.

That asshat actually said the only thing keeping him out of today's game was the NFL's rules. Not the fact that he's likely contagious with a virus that's killed more than 800K. I want him gone.
