If they sign someone to a longer deal, then I could see that being problematic. But clearly he's far away from being useful Remember though he’s a 3rd round pick and was the 4th corner last year. If he is getting demoted to the 5th corner then he’s not even a lock to make the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll probably contribute in that way. I'd be shocked if he were cut but who the hell knows anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 If free agency has shown us one thing - Elway isn’t willing to see 2018 as a bridge year to true contention. He will try to fix the team short term. Which is laudable. But given where we are at we’d be better served moving away from guys with zero upside for multiple years. If Davis is signed for only 1 year guaranteed then it’s understandable but still a bad call IMO. If we are committed beyond that it’s just unbelievably bad. SMH. The only decision worse than Davis at 5M would be to get Eric Decker as our 3rd WR. I thought this was a ridiculous take but man after this signing can’t rule anything so short-sighted out.

iLikeDefense Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I saw we are looking at Breaux, that’s interesting since we signed Brock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncos67 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I like the idea of Breaux. One, killer name. Two, when he's healthy, he was a pretty solid performer for a rookie. I like the prove it deal idea there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a while for him since he's been healthy, though. As long as it's cheap, no-risk deal, no harm whatsoever. He did play well when healthy. Re: Langley, he's likely safe for all the reasons you cited - but it's still an indictment we feel we need 4 CB's ahead of him & Rios to start the offseason. Rios is a UDFA for crying out loud, that's expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMG5 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 If Breaux can stay healthy he will be a huge steal for you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought so. When they said that he was coming in for a physical, I knew that he was one step away from signing. He will be an outside starter when healthy, and could be a steal like JMG5 says.

lomaxgrUK Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I expect that Elway is playing the percentages with signing both Breaux and Brock. He's going to want one of them to play outside in Nickel, with Chris Harris moving inside. My only concern with that plan would be Special Teams. Who out of Breaux and Brock would be a gunner? The former is injury prone, the latter isn't the greatest athlete. I wouldn't be surprised to see one of them cut when get down to the 53. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The former is injury prone, the latter isn't the greatest athlete. I wouldn't be surprised to see one of them cut when get down to the 53. Remember though we usually keep 5+ CB on the 53 man roster. Langley probably plays on ST. I’d also expect we will sign Latimer to return and be our big ace. Rios can play ST IIRC. If we keep 6 CB though I’d expect we drop 1 WR or TE. The guy who should be sweating is McKenzie. He literally offers nothing in the WR game except as a gadget guy. Which we can let Carlos Henderson do. Sunshine Taylor can return punts without fumbling 5x in 27 opps. And he will know the clock runs when you stay inbounds. Henderson can return kickoffs. Langley and Latimer can be the PR/KR backups. It’s why I objected so much on Draft Weekend with Elway spending the 2 picks on similar players at WR and 3 picks on raw developmental guys with ST return abilities. It’s a waste of roster resource allocation to duplicate to that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because we have a lot of marginal contributors making too much money, and an imbalance of free agent signings vs. drafted contributors. That's all Elway. Marshall, Stewart, Anderson, Sanders, Thomas, Wolfe, Roby....there's a lot of money there for some spotty play last year. Well, right or wrong on this one. It is now in effect, eh?

There's no other reason. What an abysmal signing. This team's FO is a disaster. Also, Keenum's deal is for 2 years/$36MM, all $36MM guaranteed for injury, $25MM otherwise. Doesn't necessarily sound like we're going QB. We are about to sign another one...Delvine Breaux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
