If he’s starting a lot of games for us Plan A has failed. 60% of the reason he’s here is special teams, 40% is having depth at LB that isn’t Justin Strnad or Curtis Robinson. It’s a good signing.

Broncofan Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) The remaining T / S / CB market seems like it’s entering the value phase. No coincidence talks with Callahan / Kareem Jackson are gaining traction. Wouldn't want either guy at last year’s salaries but seems increasingly likely it’s going to be team friendly. In that case it’s hard to argue. Wouldn’t want Jackson back at more than 1 year he’s entering the decline phase. It’s really insurance against Sterns not being ready (which is smart don’t want to have no plan B). As much as I’d love La’el Collins as our RT I think it’s more & more likely Billy Turner gets the nod. Have to say re-watching the GB games he was a lot better in GB. With both Hackett and their OL coach and likely a value signing I think there’s more than smoke there.

It’s a good signing. Yeah no problem at that $ and in that role. Our ST has to be better can’t compete with bottom 10 ST play. Just don’t think he’s a realistic starter on a contender D, fine depth guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy was a monster in the CFL while he was here. 2x all star, and a DPOY award. But yeah, it was all in the run game. Only one pick in 3 seasons, just 4 sacks. Lots and lots and lots of tackles though. Edited March 19, 2022 by broncosfan_101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-mac Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I’m pleased to see Callahan likely coming back but I figured Jackson would be gone. Hopefully it’s a cheap deal with no guaranteed money because I think there’s a decent chance Sterns beats him out and he doesn’t even make the team. If we get those guys I think we are probably set at DB and ILB. Still want to draft an edge and at least one interior DL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evero was quoted as saying he’d use a lot more base nickel and dime on pass downs. May explain the lack of pass coverage ILB prioritization so far. Why DJ Jones was such a priority IMO because nickel base with hybrid S/LB doesn’t work if the DL isn’t a stout run anchor. And why DL likely still gets taken with 1 of our first 2-3 picks. Still think ILB goes with our 5 top 120 picks given Singleton / Jewell signed short term. At Rd3-4 it’s all about roster building for 2023+ except for RB / ST guys.

medisback Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 https://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/news/lael-collins-leaves-cincinnati-no-deal Still a chance for Collins. Time for George to get agressive before Miami swoops in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-mac Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Courtland Sutton has restructured his contract. Denver clearly mortgaging the future to go all in and win now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denver clearly mortgaging the future to go all in and win now. I don’t think they’re mortgaging the future though. Those WR contracts were set up to have the roster bonuses converted into signing bonuses this off-season. You could argue with their 2023-2024 cap hits that Sutton and Patrick will still look underpaid and the cap probably jumps a lot next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroncoBruin Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Looks like George Paton did take a swing at landing La’El Collins. We’ll see what the final numbers look like but I’m okay losing this particular bidding war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there is not a lot to complain about in Broncos country nowadays but got dam can they get 2 adult capable Tackles please. I feel like every year is a round robin at RT because they have never went all-in on the position. I need Bobby Wagner or Stephen Gilmore to soothe my pain now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsthomp2007 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Collins to the Bengals I thought would happen all along, he did with a Championship at LSU with Burrow and Chase. I don't know I think with the 64th pick that the Broncos could reasonably draft a RT. Why couldn't that happen, along with picking up a guy like Trent Brown? Trent Brown is a capable OT and is still just 29 years old. He is younger the Billy Turner. I'd like the remaining cap space money to go to signing Gilmore and Kenny Young. I know everyone want Wagner, but Young to me seems younger and cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangecrush151 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 The rest of the cap will come with a cb maybe 2 and possibly kj back. I don’t see another ilb coming and rt I think either turner or maybe Kelly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
