Beavers, 28, is a former fourth-round pick of the Vikings back in 2016. He signed a four-year, $2.87 million contract with the team but wound up being among their final roster cuts a few months later.
Beavers was on and off of the Vikings’ practice squad and had a brief stint with several teams including the Seahawks, Bears and 49ers before signing on to the Falcons’ practice squad in 2020. He’s been on and off of their roster ever since.
In 2016, Beavers was active for two games while playing for the Vikings.
