RPbillsfan Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Zane Beadles was cut by the San Francisco 49ers. Is 31, would be a low cost addition to the offensive line and provide back-up depth at both guard and tackle. This would allow the Bills to start Groy at center, possibly a guard combo of Miller, Beadles and Ducasse as we bring Teller along. Dawkins, Mills, Newhouse and McDermott at T. Solid line with depth when we include Bodine. thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 49ers released OG Zane Beadles. Beadles had one season remaining on the three-year, $11.75 million deal he signed in 2016. The move clears $3.5 million against the cap. A mega-bust at left guard in 2016, Beadles was no better as he shifted all along the line last season. The former second-rounder turns 32 in November. May 7 - http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/5833/zane-beadles doesn't sound good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I have a feeling the Bills aren’t going to sign anyone yet for interior line help. The staff is going to see how Bodine, Groy, Miller, Ducasse, and Teller shake out for starters and depth. Tackle is more concerning. At least between Bodine, Groy, Miller, and Ducasse there are some quality NFL starts. Once you get past Dawkins, Newhouse and Mills at tackle, what is left is a big unknown. Heck even Mills and Newhouse are hopes that they play the best they ever have to be decent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSBill Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I think McDermott is the key, if he progresses and wins the starting job---because he is better than Mills and Newhouse, the line will be in good shape. .... We are solid in the middle, probably no all-pros, but decent depth and abilities there, the key is the development of a quality Right Tackle. I'm hoping it's McDermott on merit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 RI may want to come back, but I think the Bills have moved on. And and I see the line as: Dawkins-Teller-Groy-Miller-McDermott and I’m okay with that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills need to stop playing around before it truly becomes to late. This is a team leader Pro bowl player. Edited May 8, 2018 by HOUSE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Beane and McDermott are interested in "team leaders" who sign a contract, then try to hold them to ransom while having a public hissy fit on social media or whatever that was.

MrEpsYtown Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Beadles has been an okay player for a number of years. He was a bust in Jacksonville as a big free agent signing and I think it is because he is a poor fit for power running teams. He really excelled as a zone based lineman because finesse and speed is more his game than power. I very much prefer Joeckel or Boone, but if they aren't happy with the LG spot, this guy makes some sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never signed the contract and even if he did there is no excuse for asking a Prowl bowl player to take a pay cut. nuff said.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon man...guys like Richie are asked to take pay cuts all of the time. He's old, his play is declining, and they must feel like they can replace his production. It happens all of the time, and it is why you see dudes like Dez Bryant on the open market. This isn't anything new. Pro Bowl also means nothing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he is welcome back at the agreed upon discounted rate if he wants to come back. It is the same as the Boldin situation last year. He's either got to be a Bill or stay retired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be a very fluid process going through July - August. Competition in camp and preseason will show who is starting where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that but he was signed to be the starter and most likely is No.1 on depth chart to start camp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
