Most of the guaranteed money has been eaten by another team as well. Not to mention that route doesn’t negatively affect us in the compensatory pick formula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take Lock over a overpriced Tannehill They made the AFC championship last year lol. Yes, they are almost certainly a contender. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far Glasgow is the highest priced FA, more than what we've lost - so he'll negate at least our top paid departure. After that, no one looks to be in the top 20 AAV contracts, so that means 5th's or later. It was still a sound move to acquire Bouye & Casey by trade just because we took out a lot of guaranteed money and years from the normal risk associated with the FA's at the same price range, especially once Reader/Hargrave came off the board in Casey's case. The theoretical gain of not affecting comp picks was sound, but it depended on our departing guys getting big $ AAV contracts. So far, that's not materialized, and it doesn't look like it will pan out. Great idea in theory, but the execution of the parts Elway couldn't control didn't work out there. I touched on it in Random Thoughts, but it's going to end up that Elway rolled snake eyes on holding off trading CHJ at the deadline for the 3rd rd pick apparently being offered (and even a 4th would have been a big gain, but that's 20-20 hindsight, gambling that Harris would get a top 20 AAV contract was more than fair at the deadline). CHJ's 2H decline in play really cost him and by extension, Elway with comp-pick return value. Lose-lose there.

BullsandBroncos Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Nice addition. Maybe if Wolfe doesn't return we can get him a bookend in the draft. Tired of all the mocks giving us Henry Ruggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
