This is just adorable.

He does know that if Sam Bradford can manage to not get injured he's better than Keenum right?

[Quesadilla Joe]

I'm not pimping Keenum. I'm pimping Elway getting another bargain.

He is. But Bradford had no business getting $15M guaranteed. His contract should've been loaded with playing time incentives.

Keenum at 18 million per isn't a bargain, you idiot. He's paid exactly as he should be, like a mediocre journeyman who had 1 good year.

[Mecca]

It's a 1 year deal for a team that has a bunch of cap space and no QB.

That deal is probably partially so they are at the salary floor.

Many people thought Keenum would get $20M-$21M per year.

Ha... ok. He didn't pay Bradford $20M... I'll give him that and I like they he just zeroed in on Keenum in the final hours and said this is the plan, rather than react once the signings start being announced.

But, there's no bargain here. It's a win that he got CK for less than Bradford, sure, but bargain?

Oh my god, 2 million lower than what people thought. Wow, such bargain. Brady at an AAV of 21 million is an actual bargain.

The Cardinals have very little cap space. They have so little space, they're considering cutting Mathieu. Once Bradford hits their books they'll only have $1M left.

Sammy Watkins got paid at least $6M more than he's worth per year.

Nobody gets people for less in FA. Except John Elway.

Unless you can back that up with 3 tweets, I don't buy it. Sometimes... you even make me hate my team.

[Mecca]

Dude, John Elway has a superbowl because he convinced Peyton Manning to come play for him which brought a long a parade of FA's that wanted a ring.

That 1 move got him a bowl other than that what the **** has he done other than suck at his job? He got a pass rusher with the 2nd overall pick.

Those are literally the only 2 good moves the guys ever made.

[Chiefs=Champions]

Watkins will be a bargain. Goff missed a tonne of throws to him. The guy is a top 10 talent at wr and will show it this year. You'll see

Trying to get people for less is exactly why Denver is in the pitiful shape it's gotten to today. Letting young talented players go while the defense you bought with Manning gets older and stagnates was no recipe for success, and its showing now.

Also, have you not been paying attention to the WR market this year? Watkins and Robinson were considered the 2 top WR free agents. Wilson and Richardson are both close to 10 million per year, and Watkins shits on both of them when it comes to big playmaking ability. 8 TDs on 39 catches is crazy.

Meanwhile, Denver paid mediocre starting QB money to a mediocre starting QB just to spin the wheels for a couple more years. At best he's Glennon all over again, and if shit goes south in the draft he's your starter for 2 years when he's already shown in a much better situation in Minnesota he smashes into the glass ceiling.
