Bleeding Bills Blue

Didn't we just draft one?

Good blocker, good route runner, size - a knack for back shoulder stuff. Not much of a red zone threat, not much of a deep threat, not twitchy and can get locked up by good corners.

Going to camp gets him a workout bonus, and maybe a signing bonus. But if he's playing for WR6 and there is no market for him, he'll probably end up cut and stashed. If he can make a roster out of camp he'll make more money, and he has to hope he can either be cut or dealt to a playoff-bound team. With the new practice squad rules its a lot easier to only carry 5 WRs on the active roster. The goal can't be "all" money, since most veterans are motivated by winning (he's never won a championship) - but there might be a way to get a little bit of both.

Thats not a PS spot though. PS players don't make the full check.

Not likely here for camp if that's the case. Guys going to wait for a team to give him a shot to play before he takes that pay cut.

Timeline got f***ed up 🙂

Surprised this got through deposition.

I'd really only see him as DJ moore insurance, so how much does that cost? Can it be less than Moore's 2.5 last year? I don't even think i'd keep him active on game days.

The ones you have are probably just very good special teams players regardless of other position. Hollins is a good example. I'd imagine most ST WR's are return men though.

I feel like this is usually why fringe guys who miss camp end up struggling or cut - you miss install and everything feels off.

Basically a dollars thing too. Can't use cap space at this juncture on anything that isn't an impact type player, which at this point probably requires a trade. We don't need another corner, but someone like lattimore is available if you do. Trevon Diggs for another team if you're looking for a cheap player to see if they can regain value. Its a tough free agent market out there AND there's another new batch of rookies people want to look at. You slowly get nudged out of the league as a guy like Tre. Based on the individual though, i'd absolutely consider bringing him back. Physical limitations be damned, and even with the poor playoff game - he can still ball. Ideally he's not playing in the damn playoffs, just popping in midseason if someone's potentially hurt (or a rookie is struggling). Bosa looked like he wasn't fast enough anymore. When healthy he was getting after the QB some, but he's not healthy so you have to evaluate what you're actually going to get. An overly aggressive edge who isn't a strong run defender and can lose QB contain upfield. There's also... Reddick, Floyd, Danna, Gross-matos, Miller, Fowler available still in the same budget. Milano.. . there are 32 teams, most teams carry 2 so 64 weak-side linebacker spots. And he's spent more time in the training room than on the field. It's hard to get a job when a bunch of rookies come in year after year.

Good ole Saint Doug. They were very good with Mcnabb in the 90s, almost beat that post-manning Tennessee team.

Denver had the 3rd ranked rushing defense last year. They rotated 5 main linemen. Allen - 6'5 285, Franklin-Myers - 6'4 288, Jones - 6'0 305, Roach 6'3 290, Uwazurike 6'6 320. I'm fine if they add a 1T. I also am fine if they don't. Just calling out the whole thing about... we need a big guy or the rush defense will be bad. Or that being larger is somehow going to make you a better football player. My criticism is more draft season in general. People fall in love with size, and metrics - for players they've never watched play football, or met, or heard speak. Or they just see the name scroll across the screen as "best available" and assume he's the guy.

I'm just saying - there isn't some 375 lb reason that denver was good on defense last year. I'm more interested to see if there's an oliver resurgence than a 5th round pick doing much in his rookie year.

How big is Zach Allen...? The best defensive lineman on denver last year.
