Can you imagine putting this monster next to Bolles?

Tbh I think the worst case scenario for me as a rival fan would be Denver getting Cousins in FA and drafting one of Minkah Fitzpatrick or Bradley Chubb.

You can't pay Cousins and then not protect him. And after paying Cousins, you won't be able to afford good lineman in FA so you have to draft them.

You'd better hope some of his intelligence can rub off on Mongo.

For me, that's the preferred path... Cousins is known and still has a half dozen years left. Pay him, spend the picks on OL and guys that can help him. I know - Elway can't draft. We'll see.

Kolton Miller, Chukwuma Okorafor or Desmond Harrison will be available in rd 2. Broncos also have a ton of picks and could trade back into late round 1 for someone like Mike McGlinchey.

I’d you get Cousins, Talib is most likely gone. I would also get rid of Manelik Watson straight up. You save money and cut his $7.17 million cap hit that he doesn’t deserve.

You would still have Donald Stephenson who is insurance. Bottomline is you get $13 million for Talib and Watson.

Maybe we should cut Cam Erving so you guys can pay him $8 million.

Watson's a goner no matter what. And Stephenson is a FA.

I'd prefer to draft a young QB, and to spend the money that would've went to Cousins on Andrew Norwell and a RT. Klis has mentioned that Denver could have their eye on RT Ja'Wuan James in FA.

But what happens if Mongo gets confused and blocks him?

According to OTC.com....Stephenson is not a FA. You can't even cut him and get any cap savings.

He re-did his deal before the season started and they voided the last year of his contract.

Quote:

On August 24, 2017 Stephenson and the Broncos again renegotiated his contract to finalize his reduced guaranteed base salary to $2.5 million, with the other $1.5 million converted to snap count incentives. This renegotiation also voids Stephenson's 2018 contract year, which will allow him to become a free agent for 2018.
