Jaguars agreed to terms with LG Zane Beadles, formerly of the Broncos, on a five-year, $30 million contract.

GM Dave Caldwell stated all along that his top priority was to upgrade the interior of Jacksonville's offensive line. Beadles had a down year in 2013 but is normally a well above-average pass protector. He and LT Luke Joeckel will hold down the left side of the Jaguars' line for years to come. Beadles got $13 million guaranteed.

Free agent LG Zan Beadles said he is unsure of his future but "would love to be a Bronco" in 2014.

The Broncos seem content to allow Beadles to test his value in free agency, where he could receive upwards of $5 million annually. Denver could replace Beadles in house by moving C Manny Ramirez back to his natural guard position and drafting a center. Beadles is our No. 6 free-agent guard.

The Denver Post believes impending free agent LG Zane Beadles could be in line for a five-year, $25 million contract this offseason.

Beadles graded out as just the No. 51 guard by Pro Football Focus this season, but is considered a strong pass protector and was a Pro Bowler in 2012. He should draw interest from multiple teams if allowed to test the open market. Rotoworld currently ranks Beadles as the No. 6 guard available this offseason.

Broncos LG Zane Beadles' 2013 salary jumped from $575,000 to $630,000 based on rookie-deal incentives.

Beadles has started 46 of a possible 48 games since being a second-round pick out of Utah in 2010. He was picked as a Pro Bowl replacement in 2012 and graded out as Pro Football Focus' No. 18 guard in the league. Beadles is entering the final year of his contract.

Coach Josh McDaniels said that rookie Zane Beadles played well enough in Week 6 to remain the starter at right tackle.

Still, he didn't exactly have a ringing endorsement for the rookie keeping the job over Ryan Harris. "It's a competitive situation," McDaniels said. "If it makes them both better, that's a great thing for our team. I think Zane didn't play perfect, but he held up in most instances."

Rookie Zane Beadles started at right tackle ahead of Ryan Harris in Sunday's loss to the Jets.

Harris' ankle is healed but he did not play a snap as the Broncos continue to shuffle their offensive line. With the running game struggling to open any holes, Harris will likely get a chance again at some point soon. Beadles is a natural guard.

Rookie Zane Beadles is expected to start at right tackle Sunday in place of Ryan Harris (ankle).

Beadles was originally projected as the Broncos' left guard, but he's needed outside now. It's a big chance for the versatile second-rounder, who gets a nice matchup against Jacksonville's weak pass rush.

Rookie LG Zane Beadles will see time at left tackle Sunday, with Stanley Daniels playing left guard on the first team offense.

Coach Josh McDaniels suggested that the left guard battle remains open to competition, but this seems more about finding a viable backup to Ryan Clady now that Tyler Polumbus has been dumped. We still expect Beadles to start Week 1 at left guard.

Broncos agreed to terms with No. 45 overall pick OG Zane Beadles on a four-year contract.

A four-year starter at left tackle for Utah, the highly intelligent Beadles will move inside to left guard for the Broncos. He's expected to battle 33-year-old Russ Hochstein, coming off ACL surgery, for the starting job. For the health of the power rushing attack, the Broncos better hope Beadles wins out.

The Broncos have moved second-round pick Zane Beadles to left guard.

Beadles, the 45th overall pick in April, was initially practicing at right tackle with Ryan Harris (toe) sidelined. Left guard, however, gives him his best shot to win a starting job. Beadles' competition will be journeyman Russ Hochstein, who is 33 years old and coming off reconstructive knee surgery.

Zane Beadles and Tyler Polumbus are expected to get the first crack at replacing starting left tackle Ryan Clady (knee surgery).

The Broncos could also still take a look at free agent Flozell Adams. Polumbus started eight games at right tackle last season and practiced at left tackle, so he looks like the favorite right now. Beadles was a four-year starter at Utah but doesn't have ideal size to play outside, let alone at left tackle.

Broncos second-round pick Zane Beadles will begin his career at right tackle.

Top-45 picks like Beadles usually start for mediocre teams like Denver, so Ryan Harris appears to have been put on notice. Harris is coming off a serious toe injury. If healthy, Harris will ideally win the position, as Beadles serves as a swing tackle/guard with some potential as a backup center.

Broncos selected Utah OL Zane Beadles with the No. 45 overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.

A favorite of NFL Network draft analyst Corey Chavous, Beadles started all four years for the Utes and is highly intelligent, leaving school with a 3.54 GPA as a mechanical engineer. Beadles was a left tackle in college, but the 6-foot-4, 307-pound two-time first-team All-WAC pick will likely end up inside due to a lack of ideal athleticism and short arms. Mike Mayock believes he could even play center, which is a weakness in Denver.
