DEN trades for ARI T Jared Veldheer, ARI gets 6th round pick

Re: where Veldeheer plays, I wouldn't close the book either way.   Veldeheer played poorly at RT when he first made the switch, but then adjusted later on.    He can play LT though in a pinch still, which is useful if Bolles gets hurt (hopefully not because he struggles...Veldeheer's best T days are behind him).

Sounds about right. About 7 million on Denver's cap...how are they looking there? Didn't have a ton of money to start the season, and Keenum is also a 15 mill hit. I don't know that you're counting on the guy that he was 3 years ago though. 

Its because 3 years ago he was at LT. He was a very solid LT and then the Cards shifted him to RT and he stuggled greatly. With Garrett Boles at LT for the Broncos, it looks like they are just going to keep playing him out of position at RT and continue to have O-Line problems.

Or he broke his ankle and was just terrible after that

No because he was healthy last year and was still terrible 

Because of the switch the RT. At least thats what all of the reporters online are saying. They said he was a rock solid LT for years and then they switched him to RT and he couldnt pick the position up and was injury prone. All because of the switch from LT to RT whenever that was.

There was pandemonium in the Raiders forum a few years back when we let Veldheer go in FA before we brought in Penn :D. Seems like that was a prudent decision in hindsight even though Veldheer should be a solid LT. It's not really a big trade so it's worth it by Elway I think. Shame he's had the injury bug as he was pretty good for us when healthy and though time has taken it's toll should be an upgrade at RT for the Broncos if he stays healthy......big if though.
