Beathard isn't getting cut after they guaranteed him 2.5 Million.  You don't guarantee $$ for a camp arm.  He's on the roster, and if he isn't the back-up QB, than that's a bad look for Meyer & Co. - so that means he'll be the back-up QB, no matter that Minshew has more experience and better numbers....

And this is where I have a problem with a coach signing players just because they have history. If CJ is not better than Gardner then we just wasted $2.5M. A drop in the bucket in the NFL to be sure, but it's still wasteful. Guaranteed money at this point is stupid when you're testing three other players for that spot, one of whom we know can do the job already.
