It feels like the Broncos are getting beat badly for the cheese by the other teams. In years past though - being late to FA usually results in value contracts.

I think Simmons will be fortunate to get $10 million or better per year. His agent will get around to telling him what he wants is guaranteed money over a long period of time.

S is the RB of defense for the most part.

Yeah that is what it is going to have to be. Sounds like we are eating 54m of Wilson's deal this year to make things better for next year?

The Broncos still have contracts on the roster they can re-negotiate, and they don't seem to be in a hurry to get those done. I'm in the situation where I see evidence that Payton has a plan, but I can't imagine what it is. I would expect the Broncos want to have a top NFL rushing reputation and that will be the first order of business.

It was sad to see Josey Jewell removed from our roster today.
He got a nice deal. I think the Broncos maximized the value they got out of Josey Jewell - or better put - Jewell way outperformed his contract and his status in the NFL.

I don’t think Denver is really trying to be competitive with other teams though.

Usually, the team that "wins" free agency or the off season finishes with a losing record

It worked out great for the Jets last year

"The Denver Broncos have hired Packers OC Nathaniel Hackett to be the next head coach"

"The Broncos are finalizing a trade that will bring QB Russell Wilson to the team as their next starting QB"


At the time, pretty newsworthy

How'd all that work out ??

Commanders traded QB Sam Howell, along with fourth and fifth-round draft picks, to the Seahawks in exchange for 2024 third and fifth-round picks.

I thought the Broncos might make a run at Howell. Pretty slim pickings at this point for veteran QB's.

Yeah, I am a Howell fan. Was hoping we could get him cheap.. He is the one available QB I think could have a long term future as an NFL QB... Zach Wilson it is... ;) hope not.

Meh, kinda happy the Broncos didn't bring in a bridge vet. We already have a bridge QB in Stidham so no reason to waste any of our very few draft resources on a guy like Howell and I wouldn't waste a 7th rounder on Wilson either. Fields is still out there, but I just don't see him fitting any better with Payton than Russ did.

With how limited draft capitol we have, I don’t think we could afford to give up a 3rd.
