GM Snead killing it for remodeling the D to fit Wade’s scheme. Can’t wait to hear what we get. Anything more than a 5th I’d take. Happy that he’s not going to the Pats and glad it’s the NFC. I understand the move completely but easier to reduce impact on us if he can still maintain his play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsthomp2007 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I am really shocked the Broncos were able to trade Talib with his contract. But, hey...Okay...that is a huge savings. One of my favorite Broncos of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebestever6 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 A 5th round pick in 2018 elway worked his magic. Broncofan called it. Although a couple of days ago a 7th was a stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebestever6 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 To get 4 great,years from a player and a 5th rounder is phenomenal. I think they extend him and move him to safety after this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broncofan Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 This was likely the best Elway could do (remember it's a late 5th). All that talk about a 1st/2nd round pick was just out of touch with the cap reality nowadays. Robert Quinn got a 4th, Alec Ogletree got a 4th and a 7th-to-6th upgrade. What's notable is that this happened with no QB clearly ID'd - I'm glad Elway realized no matter who we get, it was time to get younger and think toward the future. Let's face it, we are unlikely 2018 contenders. But this will help us towards 2019+, no matter who we get as QB - just don't mess that decision up, Elway!

The thing with those trades is that the guy was getting cut anyway. Trading has become less about chasing after a guy you can’t get on the open market, and more about flipping a draft pick to get the guy before he gets cut and you need to bid against others.

At least it is a later pick where Elway can't whiff on a 2nd or a 3rd round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and the bonus of not having him in the AFC, and not to the Pats....works for me. Although we will have to play vs. LAR....maybe we can run crossing routes on him all day lol.

elliot878 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Great trade for both sides. Our d will miss Talib. On top of his near elite play, he brings a nastiness and attitude to the defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
