currently on the tampa practice squad Beasley has just 1 remaining elevation before he and the bucs have a decision to make.
this week they got mike evans and chris godwin and they dominated targets as you would expect. russell gage also played and out targeted beasley 4 to 1 despite being listed as doubtful.
julio jones was active but didn't see a target while breshad perriman was inactive due to injury and scotty miller was a healthy inactive. jaelan darden was also active at Wr but he's their return guy.
add that all up and while they may delay his final elevation beyond this week, there is probably a decision coming for the bucs and beasley in terms of whether or not to give him an roster spot. presumably it would come at the expense of 1 of their 7 current active spots - scotty miller being the most likely.
if beasley gets his last elevation this week and nobody else gets hurt enough to open up a roster spot for him, it's possible next week he's at a point where he needs to choose between remaining on a practice squad without any elevations and waiting for an injury to occur or taking an active roster spot and getting a bunch of targets right away (which no doubt the nyg already offered, and he instead chose the TB PS - but will that change if they don't active roster him?). it may be that the giants have held off on bringing in any other veterans until they see how his situation resolves since he's obviously got familiarity with the system (he was the 2nd leading target catching 82 balls each of the prior 2 years in buf).
Beating Green Bay would help change that perception. As would being four and one
He might not have a choice pretty soon.
It is only an option if the Bucs don't elevate him from practice squad, if he stays there, I believe other teams can sign him.
I think the question of whether he would stay as a PS player or sign as a starter with the G Men, he would come to NY.
If bucs are elevating him obviously he would stay there.

catching passes from whoever the Giants trot out there and Tom Brady what would you pick?

I may be wrong, but if the Giants want to sign him off the practice squad he can refuse to sign and stay on the Bucs practice squad.
Yep. Would be interesting if he still didn't want to come here though. Wouldn't speak well to our QB situation.
Have you missed the fact the giants have no credible receivers at the moment
If we could get Mimms from the Jets (for a 5th rd pick) Iw ould do it. Draft picks are needed but if you get a young player who can be here a bit then it is a pretty good deal on our part (except the contract of course).
We are not looking for a #1 WR on someone’s practice squad. We are trying to upgrade vs what we have now. He would be an upgrade and at this moment we have no slot WR. They are all hurt.

as someone said above (and the entire point of the thread) is that he may not have the choice to catch passes from Tom Brady for more than 1 more week if they don't give him an active roster spot.
there is no depth chart that will be easier to rise up and he knows the system/coaches/gm. he'd be a big upgrade here and if he's out of options with tampa at this time next week he may not have a better offer on the table than an immediate active roster starting spot from the 3-2 nyg (or even better if 4-1).
As for Toney, I've given up on him. He's an injury prone crackpot, and has never been able to stay on the field. He's just another Gettleman mistake.
Would Beasley make some plays? Sure. Nobody said he wouldn’t. Is he better than David Sills? Of course. Nobody said he wasn’t.
