Free Agency 2017

[cdumler7]

We have about 4 swing tackles right now. Why not add another?

Not many other options at this point. From what I understand the Broncos have called about trades but teams realize how desperate others are to find Tackle help right now so are asking for ridiculous returns. Such as Joe Staley...The 49ers want our 1st and 3rd round pick this year plus another pick next year. That is a king's ransom for a good not great player.

Stephenson won't be our LT. He will be depth at best. He may not even make the team. His contract is now setup that if he doesn't make the team we don't pay him much.

I don't even consider Staley a good player anymore.

Yeah I liked that move by the Broncos. Gives them more time to make some decisions on how much they like or don't like Stephenson.

Well I guess my "good" is relative to what we have had the last few years.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Compared to what we have, yes!

Compared to a 1st and 3rd? I'd throw Nick's head at the TV if that happened.

Yeah I would not be happy. Also hearing that Joe Thomas is off the market so the only other option trade wise that I could see being a realistic possibility is Jason Peters of Philly. I would call and see what they want.

 

[Duffman]

From looking around as of right now our O-line depth chart seems to be Stephenson-Leary-Paradis-Garcia-Watson. Obviously Stephenson is our biggest worry but that looks miles better than what we had last year.

I would say this offers up upgrades at the LG, RG, and RT spot and a huge downgrade at the LT spot. More than anything though will be the coaching staff and what they can get out of this unit. Broncos are obviously pushing the narrative that the last coaching staff towards the OL was terrible and a big reason they were let go. Big season to see how true that was/is.

Fingers crossed on those two guys.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Chiefs sign Bennie Logan, signaling the end of Dontari Poe as a Chief most likely.

 

[Mingo]

I was thinking with Kerr and Peeko - the Broncos could actually run a 4-3 on occasion (to stuff the run). After some thought - I'm beginning to like these signings from the thrift store in FA.

 

[MileHigh64]

"Elway Value Picks" We'll see if any of them pan out! He's been pretty good at finding these diamonds in the rough in the past.

 

[cdumler7]

Somethign to keep in mind with the Peko signing is that he has been a 3-time Team captain over the past 3 years for that defense. With Ware retiring there is a huge void of leadership leaving so that definitely has to be factored in to what this guy can do for the organization.

Yeah, I've heard that he's a GREAT locker room guy. I love the fact in his presser that he talked about how much he wanted to play here and be a part of this organization.

 

[MileHigh64]

It's also going to be interesting throughout the season to see which is longer: Peko's hair or Thunders's tail. Currently, a close contest.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Kayvon sent me a pic of him getting a physical with the Rams. It is starting to get real now.

 

[58crash]

Kayvon Webster is meeting with the Rams today. I expect him to sign there which was sorta the front runner IMO all along with Wade going there and their need for a CB.

DC have you talked to Bolden as of late ????? Hope he get better from his Knee injure ?
