Cutler06 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 29 minutes ago, BroncoBruin said: The way things have played out, I wonder if cash flow is an issue right now. They are doing everything they can to avoid immediate financial liabilities. Adding Bouye and Casey add to about $24MM, Glasgow another $12MMish so that's around $36MM. Weren't we expected to have around $70MM (but that included $10MM from Flacco who has yet to be cut). Even so, we should still have $13-18MM but that doesn't acct for the likes of Bausby, Wilkerson, 1 minute ago, BroncoBruin said: They're taking on a lot of salary but not paying a lot of cash up front. True, we're not paying the signing bonuses , which will help any immediate cash flow issues. It also helps with future dead cap issues as we can cut Bouye and Casey with little to no dead cap space but we're still dealing with the same holes in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll probably come with cap saving when we cut Flacco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody correct me if Im wrong here but I thought this whole plan was 'buy a D and draft a O' with the Broncos having a boatload of $$ to spend in FA. So far they have made good signings but not the fireworks that I was expecting from Elway given all of the hype from beat writers coming into this offseason. They made it sound like it was going to be the Talib/Ward/Ware/Sanders offseason all over again but so far it hasnt been. What is the plan here with all of this remaining cap room? Besides Cooper has any Free agent wrs been signed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a 1 trick pony and I dont think he is anymore than a glorified Travis Benjamin.

He's not a number one but that skill set to take the top off a defense is highly coveted because they're aren't a huge surplus of them in this league. I mean Desean Jackson who was ancient with injury issues got 5 mill annually last year had health been an issue for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germ-x Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 If Anderson goes $10M or below I’d love to add him. He’s one of the better deep threats in the NFL and I still don’t think it means you can’t take a WR at #15 if one is available. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left out Sutton because Sutton is a prime possession jump ball wr. But Anderson and Fant would be matchup nightmares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because the draft picks will replace guys already on the roster, most of whom were set to make more than these rookies. So those 10 picks will probably end up saving us money on those roster spots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, at the end of the day, it’s still going to cost more to sign the rookies than whatever very marginal roster bubble players are cut in their stead. The earlier round picks are locks to make the roster and they will replace very low-level, and thus low-salary, players. My point wasn’t that we shouldn’t be spending more, because we should, we have it we need to spend it and I’ve been largely disappointed with what we’ve done thus far. I just meant that the $70M figure wasn’t quite as big as it sounded a week ago. Edited March 19, 2020 by AnAngryAmerican Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizmo78 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Ooof. Driskel didn't even get his own thread on here... Per Klis, here are the contract details: Broncos backup QB Jeff Driskel got a 2-year, $5 million contract. $1.5 million signing bonus (nice). 2020 salary: $1 million (full guarantee). So $2.5 million total in 2020 (pretty good). 2021 salary: $2.5M (no guarantee) $500,000 per year in playtime bonus. With an extra roster spot open due to not having a fullback I'm expecting we keep 3 QB's. Lock, Driskel, and Rypen all on the 53 (55 now?) with the last two competing for the #2 spot next year.

I just meant that the $70M figure wasn’t quite as big as it sounded a week ago. If the 10 draft picks replace the bottom 10 cap hits, it only costs us $2.25M in space. Glasgow’s hit will probably be cancelled out by Flacco’s release. I’d say it’s safe to assume there’s still a solid $20M in space right now, enough to make 2 real solid additions yet. I wonder if you could grab all of Wolfe, Karras, and Perriman with that money, and lurk in the reeds for a major trade up in the draft, waiting for the QB run to hit early and pick off a stud in the 7-10 range. Edit: Just saw Karras signed today. Nuts Edited March 19, 2020 by broncosfan_101 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
