If we sign them and invest 4-5 million over the next 2 years and make the playoffs would that be smart?
Or in your opinion running Clabo and Mckinnie out there and getting the sh*t kicked out of Tannehill week end and week out and not making the playoffs smart? Since when did it become "stupid" to commit the resources according to the needs? When did it become smart to underpay and get nothing more than a body to fill in the position? Of coarse no player is a guarantee piece to the playoff puzzle and that includes Beadles and Howard. However we have seen the Clabo and McKinne show first hand and we do know they aren't pieces to the playoff puzzle.
Also who determines what is "overpaying"? You? Me? I think it's the market that determines the price and like it or not offensive line are a highly sought after commodity and you are going to have to pay for starter or even border line starter grade palyers.
