YoloinOhio Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Wtf @mikeklis John Elway did draw a line in the sand: He would not pay $18 million a year for QB with 7 career NFL starts.. #9news #9sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 $15 mil to stay with the Broncos or $18 mil to go to the Texans. If it were the Browns, I would say no, but the Texans have a very good defense, a running game, and a stud WR. I wouldn't fault Osweiler at all for taking the higher deal, as it could force the Broncos to try and match. He's in a great position. Amazing a guy who plays 7 games in 4 years gets $18 mil per year. I just heard on NFLR RG3 is heading to Denver for a look, and talks about a trade for Kaepernick. I would rather have Osweiler as we was raised in that system and in sync with the players. Pat Kirwan on NFLR 20 minutes ago said for all of the good things Elway has done, after Osweiler beat the Pats and Steelers, they should have inked a deal right then. They knew they weren't bringing Manning back and probably could have had Osweiler at a lower deal. What I know is Whaley is getting the right people resigned, and has a lot of the starters under contract. Thank god we're not the ones with an exodus ,in the beginning of free agency. Thank you Richie. Now can overdorf work some kind of magic and find some money early for Gillmore. I doubt it, but if at all possible, you know he won't regress.

Acantha Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Wtf @mikeklis John Elway did draw a line in the sand: He would not pay $18 million a year for QB with 7 career NFL starts.. #9news #9sports They're not looking good QB wise, but that was the smart move. Elway continues to impress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Bill Obrien trying to rain on my Jaguars parade!! Gah. Brock will be an upgrade over Hoyer and Miller is going to be nice in that offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playman Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 terrible news. i really had hope the browns would throw tons of picks at us to leapfrog houston for whatever qb is left. now they for sure draft one at 2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 @Gil_Brandt Brock Osweiler, in my opinion, would fit in nicely with top QBs in this draft. Perhaps nod to Osweiler with NFL experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Cubed Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 7 starts. Unbelievable that a team would give him that kind of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Elway got the ring now you handle being purged by the rest of the league the best you can. That's the way it works. Glenn and Ritchie can go to Houston just leave us some rings on the way out!!

BuffaloBill Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Okay, so is it a huge leap to give Brock Osweiler $45MM? As for Taylor, yes he signed a deal. That doesn't mean he won't feel underpaid. The Bills are smart not to create a Fitzy redux situation with TT. He has an 8-8 season with 14 starts and a solid but not earth shattering set of stats. This hardly qualifies him as a franchise QB. He will have to prove himself this season and if he does the Bills tag him or work out a deal with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollars 2 donuts Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) Well, no. Fitz played for Obrien. If I was Denver I'd call Fitz though More than 100 career TDs and 10-6 last year going to a team with the best D in the league, for 6-8 million...Yes. EDIT: Guaranteed 12-4...since they don't play the Bills. Edited March 9, 2016 by dollars 2 donuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: John Elway - "Don't get me wrong, Fitzy, you've had a SWEEET career and all, but after the last 10 years how'd you like to hoist the Lombardi trophy above your head?"
