Perhaps that's why the soon-to-be free agent still holds out hope he'll be back with the 49ers after the final three games of this lost season -- and that running backs coach Bishop Harris, not Beasley, will be discarded by Mike Nolan.
Beasley spoke at length Wednesday about his conflicts with Harris in another losing season with the 49ers (2-11), who have dropped 11 of their last 12 games.
After missing three games with a neck injury, Beasley was in uniform in Seattle last weekend -- but the veteran wasn't put in the game for a single play, something that would have been unfathomable for the 49ers' offense in recent years.
