It doesn't take a genius or phony insider to understand the important parameters regarding Beason.

He hasn't been playing for two seasons and won't be the MLB for this team any more.

Oh yeah, he's making a ton of cash for a team that's going to be up against the cap.

Fans forget wayyy to quickly - but Beason (when healthy) is a tremendously talented linebacker. Personally, he did not look great in training camp and was horrible early in the season. That suggests he was never fully recovered from the achilles injury he suffered in 2011 (it often takes two years to fully recover from a serious injury like that). He could come out and look like Beason of old next year - and that is just way too good to pass up. That is something that can make our defense extremely, extremely good (along with another good DT and safety).

Well said.

(Potentially) unfortunately, Beason's got the team by the balls here. Cutting him isn't going to help with the team's cap issues (at least not this season and maybe next, I think), so we'll need him to restructure. I think Beason is a good guy and team player so I do think he'll be willing to do it (similar to TD restructuring after the team stuck by him with his injury problems), but no matter what, this was a bad contract.

Beason's contract basically keeps him here.

Highly doubt we'll find someone to trade for him.

We'd also be fools to weaken a strength, at a position that gets injuries.

Beason will be here, moved outside. It will be a lot of fun watching our leaflets running around making plays.

People also turn a blind eye to the fact the average NFL career is 3 yrs.

Beason was great. Everyone who wants to comeback doesn't. The hope he finally looks like the Beason of 2010 in 2014 isn't really a great investment. We have Luke.

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?

      I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
