To Broncos fans.
What is idea of signing Gordon for 8 mil to play RB in Denver?

Isnt Lindsey a bad ass? Also dont you have quality back ups as well?

Really dont understand this signing.

So bronco fans. What am I missing here?

Wow his stock just went up by a lot.

Got to say I like how you think.

I think Brees has a record or something about throwing to the most UDFA nobodies & making them look good.
Now give brees actual decent WRs (besides Mike) Well he can turn a season or two (dont know what the contract is for) into a huge payday after his time with Drew.

so, with McDonald, they want 2 TEs that drop passes? Got it!

Both are injury prone & drop passes... Win win!

Just keep McD on the field...he'll do some damage in spite of his drops. Ebron...looking back at his '18 season with a QB that could actually play...I'm okay with him as a TE2.

Clearly a risk/reward TE duo...for a team that thinks they have a chance with Ben back...you have to applaud the effort anyway.

Couple of things. Lindsay is very good. He is just limited in some aspects as a RB. Such as he is small and I doubt you can trust him to hold up as a bell cow back for long. The Broncos want to get back to more of what he did in 2018 when they brought him in for certain situations that could maximize his skillset. He is great between the tackles at hitting it with great speed and taking it to the house. He also can do some work on outside sweeps but honestly he is better between the tackles than running outside.

The backups in Denver are really bad. Royce Freeman showed some promise in 2018 but then got injured and has not been the same RB since. The Broncos want a backup like Gordon that can be a receiving threat and pick up the tough yards in goal line and short yardage situations. That is something that Gordon has really thrived at.

One final thought. The Broncos wanted a veteran RB more so than going to the draft in wanting to maximize Drew Lock. A rookie coming in probably wouldn't be trusted with some of the things they will let Gordon do this year especially with him staying in as a blocker.

Report: Everson Griffen Leaves Vikings, Browns Named Likely Landing Spot

This would just be terrific.

This would just be terrific.

Not saying this to be critical at all, but thought this was known a couple days ago (maybe just early yesterday?)....have you heard anything new as far as us signing him?

Numbers I heard he might get are $7-8 mil, which is half what Vernon makes. at this point could sign him and keep Vernon as we don't need the money yet for Vernon's deal.

Though while I have always said idea Haslem is cheap is absurd, I could see not wanting to pay a guy $15 mil to possibly be a backup (though we still need depth at DE).

I hope they re-sign Higgins too

wonder if Perriman is being considered....though I guess when we traded for OBJ he asked to leave so maybe that ship has sailed.

Well like I said before it isnt a bad idea but if they cut Vernon they could go after a LT in FA, which gives them more options at #10 instead of locking into a LT. They could possibly trade up and try to get Simmons (depending on how far he falls).
