Yea... Poyer was a good soldier last year and got beat up/played through injury, but it took it's toll just as he starts showing his age. On the flipside, Buffalo helped make him who he is, and paid him more than he likely ever makes if he doesn't land in McDermott's Defense next to Micah Hyde. It was a win/win for both sides, but it's time to move on, and I'm sure he's frustrated that last year's tape is surely being used against him in negotiations.

I don't think I'm touching Dawkins or Diggs, but if I'm Beane I am absolutely doing the following: -Extend Daquan Jones. Good player. We have no DT's under contract for next year. -Trade Ed Oliver. Good player. Not worth 10M to us next year and we're not paying him if he blows up. -Cut McKenzie. We comitted to Hines. His role should be KR/PR/RB3/Gadget.. he takes over the McKenzie role in the offense.

McGovern is only a 4M cap hit this year. Matakevich is 1.6M. Not sure about Martin. Cam and Ike likely don't affect the cap much once we get to the top 51.

Well said. These obviously aren't the only moves we make, and even if they were.. Cook in Year 2 is a better RB than rookie Cook or Singletary. Hines with an off-season should theoretically become more integrated into the Offense. Re: McGovern, even if all he gives us good pass blocking and poor run blocking, that's a massive improvement over last year. Given he's reportedly a better RG than LG, we are able to give him that spot on our OL, which also moves Bates to LG... the position he feels more comfortable in. This one move has upgraded both LG and RG, while giving us two athletic 25 year olds on multi-year contracts. If we go RT at 27 and/or Brown makes a jump with a full, healthy off-season, this OL could become a strength.

No need to reach.. There will be LB's available in Rounds 2-4 of this Draft that can compete with Bernard. If MLB in this Defense is soooo important, then we need a new Defense. Absolute absurdity. Hyde, White, Elam, Johnson, Milano, Von, Rousseau, Jones. That's 8/11 spots on the Defense occupied by above average players or guys with above average potential. Help. Josh. Allen.

He's got to stop worrying about that. There are going to be weak spots on this team... if one of them happens to be LB next to All-Pro Milano, so be it.

I think there's some validity to the way teams rush Allen. We have one of the most athletic OL's in the NFL.. there's no reason every screen should end up as Allen spiking it into the dirt.

I'm definitely in Barkley as the PS vet presence and then draft a QB in the mid-late rounds to back up Allen. Someone like Duggan or Bennett would be fine by me. As long as we give Allen the OL and weapons we should, a rookie should be able to game manage us to a fighting chance if Allen had to miss a few games.

I might be in the minority but I’m out on Poyer. I just think it’s time to turn the page on this defense. Get someone young and athletic next to Hyde. We’re pretty well set at CB. Figure out LB and perhaps shake up the DL with an Oliver trade. With the literal DC and de facto leader of the Defense both gone, it’s time to turn the page. Furthermore, it’s time to make sure Josh Allen goes into ‘23 with an average to above average OL and weapons on par with Burrow/Mahomes.

I just don't believe he's worth 10M to this team. He's not a gamebreaker on his own. That 10M, for us, could be so much better utilized. On a team not paying big money to a QB, sure, take a shot on Oliver's potential. I'm done with the dude.

I honestly would have no clue what we're doing if we trade for Dalvin Cook. It's like Beane has some condition where he confuses WR's for RB's.

I can almost guarantee you that McGovern won’t be our biggest move of the off-season. Id be shocked if a legitimate weapon isn’t added somehow, someway.

My Day 2 hopes: No RB’s Trade Ed Oliver Extend Daquan Jones Hold firm at LB, S & DT wait for the prices to drop after the musical chairs stop Be actively engaged in any talks around a WR2 that would make sense for us

How many 1 seeds did we get with that “#1 Defense”?

Its 1.9M this year, but yea….

I honestly can’t believe this is still going on. Im actually starting to respect him for it. One of those “this is so annoying….. ok, it’s kinda funny now” type of things.

I think Rodgers eventually goes to the Jets, but oh my goodness … this is insane. I couldn’t even imagine this place if it was us.

Statistically? Nope. Also don’t care. Looking forward to Beane, hopefully using that earmarked Edmunds money to help Josh Allen. Also hoping we trade Oliver to better allocate his 10M. That still leaves enough talent to be a middle of the pack Defense (assuming McDermott earns his keep as a Defensive HC) and then when Von gets back in the swing of things, we have our big playmaker in the post season.

McGovern is 4M. Matakevich about 2M. Martin probably around 2M. Lewis likely minimal. If that’s what Poyer wants, then yea, he won’t be here. Given the league signed a ton of defensive guys today, and he wasn’t one of them, have to imagine his price is coming down.

They, of course, do… that said, the playoffs are what matter and it’s been painfully obvious that the defense was constantly overrated and/or not able to perform when it matters. Also, for all the regular season success, how many 1 seeds? The defense, for all it’s investment, let us down. Im glad we seem to be turning the page on that group.

Yup. And Matakevich is around 1.9M. Cam Lewis is probably peanuts. Not sure about Sam Martin’s cap hit.

Could absolutely do that. Poyer would only be back on a team friendly deal. David won’t be a bank breaker at his age. Jeudy is on a rookie contract. Backload the OL cap hit.

Maybe a Day 2 pick.. Young All Pro LB on a solid multi-year contract.

Sounds to me like the Broncos need a DT to replace Jones.
