Cutler06 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) And NOBODY here buys the "I'm the scapegoat" spin you'll try to put on this, just walk away with your tail between your legs. Also, looks like we'll take the bigger Cap hit number this year, so more dicing will be coming soon. Edited March 5 by Cutler06 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncos_fan _from _uk Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 2022 broncos has to be the worst offseason in NFL history right? Arguably worst HC hire ever. Arguably worst trade ever. Worst contract ever. Draft class headlined by Bonitto and Dulcich. FA class headlined by Randy Gregory. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234567 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 This may or may not be a popular opinion here, but I really do wish him all the best. Yeah he’s corny, and the ridiculous entourage was just silly. And he clearly isn’t the same player anymore so it was time to move on. But the guy is all the other things you want from a personality standpoint. He works hard. He’s polite. He’s not out beating the sh*t out of his kids or shooting himself in nightclubs. He doesn’t do drugs, or hang out with gang bangers on his off time. You never once had to worry about his off the field actions bringing shame to the organization. I hope he lands on his feet somewhere and is able to at least wipe off some of the tarnish the last two years have put on his legacy. It was certainly a bad move on our part to trade for him, and it’s good that we’re moving on. But I wish him absolutely no ill will and I hope his otherwise HOF worthy career doesn’t get judged by his time here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had been traded elsewhere where another team mortgaged its future by wasting both draft assets and cap room on him and he was available for the likely vet minimum he will get on the open market for a 2 year deal (due to offset language in his contract) I would be all for the broncos singing him as a bridge starter Edited March 5 by broncos_fan _from _uk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was just a mistake or two that's one thing but it was non stop, huge bad decisions for months. I hated it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the sentiment but after playing around with the contracts on sportstrac I realized we would have had to cut/trade essentially every player worth a damn to make the numbers fit this season. That would have left us with no talent moving forward. We will still likely need to move on from 2/3 top WR, DJ Jones, and one of Bolles or Simmons, plus a couple more lesser paid players and a bunch of restructures 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncos67 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Hindsight is always 20/20, but his time here was nothing short of disastrous. That said, I am thankful we pulled the bandage off as soon as it was realistic to do so. The Chiefs are still well within their contention window so I don't think there's any real hurry to do anything other than lay the groundwork for the future. Reading the tea leaves seems quite clear that the next week or so is going to be quite busy with moves. I'm in the camp of burning it all down and starting fresh. I know that won't happen, but I think it should. Get what you can for some combination of Bolles, Simmons, Jeudy, Sutton, hell Surtain should be on the table for the right price. There's no sense in trying to continue the same tightrope walk that has landed us in purgatory for the last decade or so. Hopefully Russ signs another contract with some offsets. I'm unclear who even takes a flier on him, but I am certain someone will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
