grizmo78 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I know Rod Smith used to be involved a lot with our WR room (working with Brandon Marshall, DT, etc.). I haven't heard much about him in the last couple years. Has he still been involved with the team and do we expect former players to be invited to be on the practice field under Sean Payton? I really loved prior players coming back and meeting with the current team, it helped feel like we had an ongoing Broncos culture/family. Would be cool if Talib came back and talked with our DB room from time to time, or Von (after he retires) being around the facility, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebestever6 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Man having a franchise qb sucks lol give him a huge contract, spend two firsts and seconds and change. Spend a first and 3rd to fix said mistake, witness a bottom 5 season failure without recouping top 5 pick. And now all off season I'm gonna look at prospective picks realizing you're not gonna be able to touch them round 1 and 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But having a franchise QB who isn’t actually a franchise QB is the worst thing that can happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean other than Archie Manning there weren’t really any players from the first 40ish years of their existence prior to his arrival that were worth bringing in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie Roaf, Jahri Evans and Ben Grubbs on the OLine. Deuce McAllister was a pretty good RB. Joe Horn at WR. A couple Linebackers from the late 80s/early 90s who are in the HOF, Jonathan Vilma.

bMiller031 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Can someone explain to me why Jalen Ramsey just sent for a 3rd+? Hasn’t been that long since he was the bonafide CB1 in the league and he’s only 28yo. What am I missing?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted more guaranteed money and LA are in cap hell right now. 28 isn't a spring chicken for a CB either, especially one who plays the way Ramsey does. I think Ramsey had his heart set on Miami too, so maybe the team did right by him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ramsey had his heart set on Miami too, so maybe the team did right by him. To be clear, too - Ramsey had a down 2022. At age 28, that's always a flag. You wouldn't know it by our game with LAR, but Ramsey actually was below average in YPT last year. He's not at an age where he's completely washed, but the risk that we're starting to see decline, at his $, is why few teams were interested. Ramsey is a perfect fit for a mostly zone scheme, so easy to see why MIA & Fangio were interested (frankly, a better fit than Xavien Howard was). One thing about MIA though - they're spending a LOT of $ on the CB's and WR's, and about to commit to Tua (they guaranteed his 5th year option). They've got a few pieces in the front 7, but paying more for the skill guys and having trench play / depth issues, isn't a great formula - and don't think Tua is that level of QB to mask those problems (Hill & Waddle certainly help him play up, though). Will be interesting to see how Fangio fares in MIA - still a great DC, but the trenches being the biggest Q mark rarely succeeds outright.

Cutler06 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Broncos signing RB Samaje Perine for 2yr $7.5M. Big back, can he play some FB when JW's get back to 100%. Heard he's a decent pass catcher as well. anyone fill in some details on his potential there ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutler06 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Raiders TE traded for a 3rd, seems a little lite considering he's a pretty dynamic receiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutler06 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 So was wondering why S PJ Locke wasn't tendered, thought he was having a good TC before he was injured. I expected him to return at a high rate, did I miss something ? Is there more to his story, is Turner-Yell passing him up ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might think they can get him back at vet min. Locke isn’t great at run support keep in mind Payton & Paton are definitely looking for more toughness identity wise. In that light I get it.
