It's a bit disappointing; I feel like we had a chance to really upgrade at safety with this free agent crop, but I get why we spent the money elsewhere. Just not enough cap space especially with the CRAZY market on FA's this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be interested to see what Amos got in comparison to Kareem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have much larger holes across the roster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsthomp2007 Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 Elway should just say f***ck it and go land Earl Thomas. Kareem, Earl, Chris!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bMiller031 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Wouldn't we rather have Turner @ 4/$29.5 than James @ 4yrs/$51m/$32m GTD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is Elway didn't come close to that offer for Turner. Seems like a massive overpay? Not saying the James contract isn't, but the Turner $$ wow'd me.

Yeah James contract is a lot of money but he’s had flashes where he looked good Turner was on the verge of being cut during camp wasn’t he?

Cutler06 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 GB just paid him $28-29.5M with $11M in the first year. Evidently they think he's pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomaxgrUK Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Wow. Good for Billy. I actually liked him more than most, including PFFs rankings. I prefer him at Guard rather than in space, but an ability to play below average at both RG and RT is worth it's weight in gold. I thought we'd be able to bring him back, so I think this is a bit of a hit for us at Guard especially. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRNA Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 7 hours ago, Royal_VT said: I agree. I still expect us to grab a lower tier CB in free agency as well. While I am not thrilled about the $$ on these deals, that is just the cost of signing FA's these days. TE, IOL, and another CB (at low cost) will allow us to navigate the draft without having to worry about position as much. Extending players before free agency is more important than ever these days. Would like to see one or more of the following players extending this offseason: Bolles, McGovern, Shelby Harris, Chris Harris, Simmons. With the $$ FA's are getting though...I can't blame a player testing the market. Something Elway rarely does and it cost us dearly. Von, DT are prime examples. It really needs to be done in the last year of a rookie deal. If they won't extend then trade them ala BB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal_VT Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Paradis to Carolina for 3 / $27m. Apparently we had not offered a multi year deal. That kinda disappoints me, I would match that contract (with Mr. Bowlen's money, of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
