If we were talking about someone who was in their first or second year, I would agree. But Bodine's poor performance has been an issue now for three straight years, and it hasn't improved enough. It's not good that your second-best OL is the 28th best at his position. You shouldn't keep holding onto someone in hopes they one day become a good player because they are very marginally improving. Bodine is entering the final year of his contract and at this point there needs to be justification paying for Bodine over drafting a C within the first two days of the 2018 draft or picking up a different C in FA.
