Beaser was a real asset for the offense. I did not agree with his covid stance, but he was one of the best at his position and a key element of the offense. But as I've said before, as Bill Walsh used to say better to get rid of a guy a year too early than a year too late. And with Ike coming back, the $$ can probably be better spent on a CB or another interior O lineman.
One can play the what if game for any team in the league. It’s a stupid game. You judge by what was done, and Beane and his team wanted Allen, got in position to take him, and did so. Game, set, match.
Assuming you can get a contract worked out that does not affect our ability to upgrade other spots, this is as big a no-brainer as you’ll ever get. The guy is one of the best ever. Of course you sign him for a year.
I claimed the era of great QBs would end with guys like Rogers and Brady because the QBs coming out could only play in spread offenses and wouldn’t adapt to the NFL.
