Broncofan Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) Well the idea of Risner moving to RT and Meinerz starting week 1 gains steam, unless Calvin Anderson is ready or Paton hits the FA market (the best T available are Okung or Leno - both LT FWIW).

broncosfan07 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I’m sure some will say why didn’t we draft Slater but by all reports he was working at being back for 2021 so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroncoinGermany Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Too bad the Ravens just signed Villanueva. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnAngryAmerican Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) Dear god. I mean I feel bad for the guy. Wish him the best. But, hey, on the bright side, here's another $10m we can give Aaron Rodgers. Edited May 4, 2021 by AnAngryAmerican 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutler06 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Well, Risner to RT looking more and more likely, if we're playing our best five. Else we're looking at seeing what Calvin Anderson is about to become. So is this the last we'll see of James ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-mac Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Atrocious signing. Quit on the team in 2020 and now gets hurt in some unsanctioned workout. Hope Paton cuts him and spends the $10m elsewhere. Same with Melvin Gordon if we can void his guarantees. There are some FA RTs out there. Dennis Kelly springs to mind. So does Mitchell Schwartz, although I think retirement is in play for him. I’m not sure Risner is likely to move to RT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutler06 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Charles Leno is a young option, but never heard why CHI let him go so quickly. Mitchell Schwartz seems like a decent option but he's 31yo already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell Schwartz seems like a decent option but he's 31yo already. Schwartz is retired - his back is toast. Leno it's all about the 9M salary he had. Chicago's cap situation wasn't great - so once they drafted Jenkins to play T, they were going young and letting Leno walk. It's surprising they couldn't get any picks back, even a conditional 5th/6th - but then again, their failure to get anything for Kyle Fuller (although at 13M, more understandable why teams didn't bite), probably made it clear Chicago's situation gave them almost no leverage to mine any value.

Even if they don't beat out Anderson, we need a viable swing T. Frankly, signing both may not be crazy. They shouldn't be expensive. If Leno can play RT, I'd be intrigued for sure, but he's been traditionally a LT. Edited May 4, 2021 by Broncofan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1234567 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Has anyone calculated how much we’ve ended up paying him per snap? It has to be a hilarious amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

germ-x Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 He has always had the soft label. This isn’t soft. Injuries happen. However, his time in Denver should probably be over. Coming back from that injury he likely is never the player they spent that money on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
