The Buffalo Bills addressed their glaring need at receiver Tuesday, reportedly agreeing to multi-year contracts with free agents Cole Beasley and John Brown.

Beasley, a slot specialist, will receive a four-year deal worth $29 million, sources told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. The former Dallas Cowboy notched 672 receiving yards with three touchdowns last season, his seventh with America's Team.

Brown will sign a three-year, $27-million contract, a source told ESPN's Adam Caplan. He spent the 2018 season with the Baltimore Ravens, getting off to a hot start before fizzling in the second half of the campaign. He finished the year with 715 yards and five touchdowns.

The latter addition gives Buffalo an established deep threat for strong-armed quarterback Josh Allen. The 28-year-old Brown enjoyed his most productive season in 2015, posting 1,003 receiving yards and seven touchdowns for the Arizona Cardinals.
