That pretty much means that the Broncos are out on Jones or Miller at this point.

Chief Northman 03-15-2022 10:15 AM

Gregory can take his offsides to Denver.

staylor26 03-15-2022 10:16 AM

Would much rather the Broncos have Gregory than Miller or Jones.

Market thinned out really fast.

As much as it pains me, JuJu might truly be the best solution here. Again, almost exclusively based on age.

If we're not going to be shopping for high-end additions, I don't want to be adding anyone older than 26 if I can avoid it. And I'd like to get 'real' 2 year contracts w/ a 3rd year team option of sorts on the back end so we can reap some rewards of that age and then walk away at the right time.

So Reid is a pretty perfect template for the type of signing I want to see. So now it's just a question of finding where the money is coming from.

I wanted to re-sign Ward, get a S (Reid fits fine there) and get Za'Darius Smith.

I would've liked to see Edmonds but I understand not spending that much on him.

Having lost out on Ward, I think Darious Williams would be an adequate replacement - little bit of a late-arriver though so he may not age as well as many. Very similar style of player to Ward who may come with less term but likely not a hell of a lot less in AAV. I'm probably not terribly interested in him at that AAV but with such a short track record he may struggle to get a market together.

I mean if we're bargain shopping, Derek Barnett would be a good place to start especially given his age. Kyzir White is someone else I'd really like to see brought in. Hate that we lost out on Cedrick Wilson at $7 million per but maybe Gage can be had in the same ballpark.

Arden Key and Rasheem Green are also younger veteran players who appear to be trending the right direction. The Chiefs really seemed to sour on Nnadi but if Bilal Nichols can be had for a reasonable figure I think he'd be a more versatile DT2 here to pair with Jones than Nnadi was.

I mean I guess the short answer is just let the market settle and see what's still standing.

Williams is 5"9" - not sure he's that similar to Ward is he? But agree it was a shame to miss on Wilson, seemed a good cheap fit.

I want La'el Collins more than ever!

We are going to face a gauntlet of pass rushers this year. Protecting 15 has to be the first priority!

We would have the BEST O line in the NFL!

I guess I'm alone here, but I think JuJu is pretty much your perfect fit here. I'd love to have him.

He's still young, has been playing in a shit system and would fit what we kind of need out there opposite what we have.

The Franchise 03-15-2022 10:19 AM

Still plenty of good options out there. Some of the guys that are signing right now are surprising to me.

Plenty of DEs who should come cheaper because of the rookie class coming out.
WR is a little thin but they can still probably get one at a decent cost.
CB is the interesting one. I'd take a shot on Rasul Douglas but Veach may just draft one and roll with that.

Juju Smith-Schuster
Arden Key
Rasul Douglas
Trade for Laviska Shenault

O.city 03-15-2022 10:21 AM

The pass rush class is playing out perfect for us.

I think Douglas will get a pretty good deal.

But man I really do like the idea of trading for Shenault. Are there rumors he's actually being shopped or is this just idle Twitter speculation?
