Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley doesn't appear thrilled with the game-planning role the team's front office took on during the 2018 season.

Beasley took to Twitter on Tuesday to discuss his pending free agency, hinting that he'd prioritize signing with a team that would target him more. He also took a shot at the Cowboys' upper management.

Utilization is more important than money. https://t.co/qP8XoR6uBu

Honestly, the front office pushes who they want to get the ball to. I haven't been a huge priority in that regard. Maybe that will change but I'm not sure. More balls come my way in 2 minute drill where nothing is planned. https://t.co/ioih9BJJv1

Doesn't mean I'm gone. I'll play anywhere where I can make more of an impact. I would love for that to be Dallas or anywhere else that will give me more pops to make an impact. I just wanna ball. It's hard with 3 to 4 opps a game. https://t.co/zImZKxkAvD

Beasley, whose contract expires in March, finished second on the team in targets (87) and receptions (65) during the regular season.

His usage, however, dipped slightly after the Cowboys acquired Amari Cooper from the Oakland Raiders. The veteran was targeted 43 times from Week 9 onward, which placed him fourth on the team behind Cooper, Ezekiel Elliott, and rookie Michael Gallup.
