Can't have it both ways. Who should we have signed at the salary they actually received? Denver is in a dicey situation cap wise because of the bad drafting. Can't tie up all the cap in overpriced FAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaldyBronco Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 We just signed Clinton McDonald from Tampa Bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebestever6 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 He had 5 sacks last year insurance policy isn't a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the $ isn't crazy (with a very low bonus), and the 2nd-year isn't guaranteed, this is the kind of signing we are probably left considering - if he's got a little juice left, then he's signed (hopefully) cheaply for 2019. If he doesn't then we walk away with little commitment (again, hopefully, depending on the $'s). What this does tell me - they're not counting on Gotsis anytime soon. No other reason to sign him, Kerr should have been able to be the backup NT/rotational DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Well, here are the details.....4M isn't a lot by itself, but our cap situation gets even tighter. I was hoping for half that. Oh well, at least he has some upside. Man, the Gotsis arrest really hurt us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything hinges on this draft and if last years draft can actually not suck (highly doubtful) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-mac Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Yeah this should be cover for the Adam Gotsis legal situation and the fact Walker is moving to DE as a second year man and might need to spend some time working one-on-one with Bill Kollar learning how to play the position at an NFL level. Also, there's the small matter of Derek Wolfe's neck and we probably want more than just Shelby Harris. In an ideal scenario McDonald isn't even a lock to make the 53.

That’s where the 4M salary kinda hurts. A lot. Now if it’s a Bridgewater like contract with very little guaranteed then I’m all for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoBruin Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Good signing. Between Harris, Walker (hopefully) and McDonald there's a pretty solid stable of interior rushers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoBruin Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Having said that, the implications of this are scary, whether it's Wolfe's health, Gotsis' legal issues or a lack of faith in Walker's second year development. On paper, the defensive line was already deep, so one or more of the three things I outlined gave the front office pause which is concerning.

BroncoBruin Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Oh and I guess they signed a kicker and long snapper? Hopefully the kicker can push McManus out, post June 1 cut saves us 2.25 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The depth was good enough but it still isn't a super strong group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The depth was good enough but it still isn't a super strong group. No Maliks in the group but Wolfe, Harris and Peko are all damn good players and Gotsis looks like at least a plus run stopper. I’m projecting a bit that Walker can give us something as a 3T pass rusher. And Kerr is JAG but for depth he’s fine. This is all on paper of course. In reality, Wolfe and Gotsis are huge question marks. And Walker might just end up busting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234567 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 IMO this is an insurance move in regards to Gotsis. That's a serious charge, and I have a bad feeling about it. I'm bettin the Broncos do too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
