jsthomp2007 495 Posted March 17 It looks like DJ Reader is signing with the Bengals for $13.25MM/year. It seems high for a guy I never knew about until this year's FA. Can the Broncos get Shelby Harris for $11MM? Or Wolfe for that much? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Counselor 6,756 Posted March 17 Reader played 58% of the possible defensive snaps last season. Hargrave played 63% of the Steelers snaps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jsthomp2007 495 Posted March 17 I am just sitting here watching the Dolphins and Raiders spend every dime they have right now. I am glad the Broncos are holding their wallet. I think Purcell will be fine. Bill Kollar is one of the better DL coaches. Perhaps trading up for Kinlaw will be the way to go? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cutler06 226 Posted March 18 "Free agent frenzy....not happening in Denver" Elway probably crying over missing out on Reader TO THE BENGALS ! Tail between his legs...; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tail between his legs...; Do you really want the Broncos paying a NT over 13M a year? I don’t. He won’t even play over 65ish percent of total snaps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
broncos_fan _from _uk 334 Posted March 18 The browns, Raiders and redskins have historically won FA every year. The browns and Raiders are winning it again this year. Let’s see how it plays out this fall. More often than not bites them in the ***. Our 2013/2015 SB teams were largely built through FA but thats rare. I wish Reader would have taken our offer of $11M AAV. But I’m glad we didn’t get into a bidding war. That’s not how good teams are built. I expect us to bring in a few tier 2/3 FAs (Wolfe is still in play) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroncoBruin 1,502 Posted March 18 (edited) On the other hand, our 2014 spending is the reason we won the Super Bowl the next year. Where teams get into trouble is paying A money for B talent. You don’t regret overspending on great. Reader is worth every penny and it’s ridiculous that they didn’t close. Edited March 18 by BroncoBruin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

broncosfan_101 206 Posted March 18 Two year deal for Jeff Driskel. Thought Elway would bring in a more established backup, but I was wrong ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://www.denverbroncos.com/news/media-reports-broncos-agree-to-terms-with-qb-jeff-driskel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m sure he’s cheap and he’s not a stiff, so whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lomaxgrUK 507 Posted March 18 Driskel is terrible. Genuinely one of the worst QBs I've ever seen play against us. Does he have any history with our coaching staff? Seems a strange one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
