Quote:Beadles is getting a lot of money; upwards of 6.1 MIL per, IIRC....but then Uche prior to being released was due to make almost that much next year as well. (Over 5 MIL) 

 

The problem as of right now is we created a hole with getting rid of Uche, then filled it with Beadles. Are we better overall or still the same? I thought we were going to be a little more aggressive in FA in regards to improving the OL. Adding one inconsistent starter at LG isn't exactly "fixing" the OL's problems yet. 

 

No one in the entire world has ever claimed that the FO has fixed the OLs problems yet.  For something to be fixed it requires the intermediate action of fixing to develop progress, like signing Beadles.  I do agree that it may be a coin toss to sign Beadles and cut Uche, but I think that it is a step in the right direction because that's how they want to build this team.  Uche is not their guy for ZBS and Beadles is. 

 

Considering Beadles is signed through 2019 his deal isn't immense and I think over the next couple years a lot more guards will be overrated and overpaid, making Beadles a piece to have in the long run.
