Did we just get caught trying to slide him through waivers to get him on the PS to make some roster room? Seems like it. The whole Bausby situation has been so weird...

Broncofan Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) Let's be clear that Bausby might not end up being an above-average CB - but of all the non-starters, he offers the FAR highest ceiling - and a track record of actual success in-game, albeit in limited samples. His neck injury means they won't use him on ST's - but IMO, a guy with his ceiling, ESPECIALLY at a rookie contract, are just not assets you cut - simply to get mediocre ST versatility from inferior talents. That's really the galling part of the decision when it was first made. Also agree that it's far easier for a team to cut a new waiver claim, given the difficulty with integrating to a new system - so I wouldn't look too much into ARI's decision to part ways here. The tea leaves once Klis admitted the team erred at least shows that the FO realized this. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

paul-mac Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 When you’ve got Brandon McManus kicking so many touchbacks, are special teams really THAT important that we should be cutting genuinely good CBs in favour of scrubs like Davontae Harris just because the latter can play punt coverage?

jsthomp2007 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 If I were Bausby I'd be pissed. I hope he hangs on the has been more than patient. I agree with Broncofan he seems to be a better than average back-up CB in a league where that backup will probably start a few games a year. I also agree with the post where ST isn't that big of a deal when McManus mostly kicks balls through the end z one anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW Bausby cleared waivers the first time - he actually got to choose between several teams last time (see Allbright link below). So the FO REALLY screwed the pooch the first time. But nobody is perfect - hopefully they learned from this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 FYI as per Covid protocols Bausby can’t play this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) BTW - one waiver claim we should be ALL over this week - Takk McKinley. I get that teams below us should also make a claim, but he'd help our DL issues, and he's also young enough if he walked in the offseason, he'd net us a comp pick (he's not signing simply for a vet min deal next year). Hopefully Elway & co. are on this (as McKinley release was later this week, so the waiver claim is today, not included in yesterday's run).

lomaxgrUK Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 Devontae Harris waived, as per Klis. He had a couple of bad ST plays on Sunday, one nearly causing a fumble after he ran into Spencer. Bausby likely active this week, and we kept Toliver over Harris.

At least the FO and coaches fully embraced the original mistake, now it's come full circle. Edited November 17, 2020 by Broncofan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we ever get the Ojemudia story? 0 snaps. Was it really as simple as preferring Callahan outside?

Anyone know what the contract status looks like for someone claimed? I assume you don't just inherit the contract w/o signing bonus....

BroncoBruin Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Hey, you have to like that. Maybe he can get a really cheap extension this offseason, we have absolutely zero safety depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
