WTH, why haven't we signed anyone yet? This FO sux!!!!!!!

Two tweets from Schefter:

"Eagles free-agent cornerback Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie is scheduling a visit with the Denver Broncos."

"Steelers free-agent RB Rashard Mendenhall is scheduling visits with the Arizona Cardinals and Denver Broncos."

I am warming up to the DRC idea

[HORSEPOWER 56]

I am warming up to the DRC idea

Me too. DRC was never a bad CB either place he's been. He was traded for Kolb because they'd just drafted Peterson and the Philly debacle was a nightmare for everyone. I think he's a pretty solid CB.

He was basically the slot guy his first year in Philly, but they ran so much zone, he didnt get used right. Last year I thought he had a great season. 3 picks and 17 PD's. I'd like him opposite Champ. I had doubts at first, but after looking into it more...I like it

Depending on what the doctors say, it probably needs to be. Not only has he been affected by injuries, but his play seems to have diminished as a result of those injuries. Would have been nice to rely on him for a few more years, but sadly, he appears to be done as a top starter

[slim]

I would guess so. Too bad he couldn't get healthy. I always liked the guy.

Per Andrew Mason:

"Myriad ramifications for Broncos' line, assuming Louis Vasquez reports come to fruition. Vasquez was easily the best OL w/ Chargers last yr."

Wasnt even close. Other than Levitre, he was the top guard available. I loke it

So who is he competing with? Kupe or Beadles and does this end the Franklin to G talk?

John Elway ‏@johnelway

We've agreed to terms on a contract with guard Louis Vasquez. He is a big, powerful player who adds a physical presence to our OL.

[BroncoJoe]

Oops...


During a game against the New England Patriots Vasquez made a False Start from a field goal formation which this meant the field goal was pulled back 5 crucial yards leading to the field goal getting missed and the Chargers losing by 3 points.

LOL.

[chazoe60]

Oops...



LOL.
He'll be adding to the list of games he's cost the Chargers while wearing Orange and Blue.



Good signing. FA is young and we've already gotten better.

[Lancane]

Got to wonder who is next, I think it will be Mendenhall in all honesty. Though hearing that they signed Knighton would be good also.

Manny Ramirez is probably gone.

[NightTerror218]

Anyone know what Kuper makes? Cna we retain Kuper as a BA backup if contract is low enough? OL depth has been a major issue. I like having some depth.

DRC would be my next choice

I'd be cool with that signing as well.

I think he gets paid pretty well. Not sure about the details.

interesting point by andy lindahl (805koa radio) on twitter:

Vasquez is 25. Broncos value the under 28 group. It's why I think they prefer Mendenhall to Jackson.

[spikerman]

I wonder if this means Blake is not progressing like they had hoped. I know he was injured, but this could mean they aren't happy with his progress.

Then why in the sam-hell are so many linking us with Freeney? He's basically the crypt-keeper.

[Lancane]

Blake is expected to challenge Walton at center, at least that is what I've heard.

[NightTerror218]

last year was Blakes rookie season. he was put on IR with injury very early. how can they even evaluate him? he is also a C.

[Rick]

Wonder if Kuper can play Center, may be the only way he gets a starting job back. I don't think Beadles is losing his.

[CoachChaz]

I think he gets paid pretty well. Not sure about the details.

Kup was given a similar contract in 2010. 5 years, 25 mil. Averages 5.1 per year, so if we cut him...it's a wash in salary and an improvement in ability and age

[CoachChaz]

Then why in the sam-hell are so many linking us with Freeney? He's basically the crypt-keeper.

Because it's easy reporting. Why investigate something if you can immediately make the Peyton-Freeney link and run with it

[BroncoWave]

More from Andrew Mason:

"Guard grades in 2012, per @PFF: Louis Vasquez 12.8, Zane Beadles 10.1, Chris Kuper 3.1, Manuel Ramirez 3.0."

[LTC Pain]

Progress as a viable NFL lineman or progress from returning from injury. Blake got hurt just over halfway through his rookie season and I haven't read anything indicating the Broncos are unhappy with him???

[NightTerror218]

i believe it was a hand injury, like a thumb or something. He he even play a game in preseason?

[pipes]

@cecillammey: OG Chris Kuper sixth highest paid #broncos player right now, $5.4MM cap number, $2.7MM in dead money, would save $2.6MM if released

-I don't want Kuper or Doom to be replaced and especially not both!
They are 2 of the captains on the team, to lose them both would really suck.

First things first as the Broncos embark on free agency: Peyton Manning will be their quarterback for the next two years.

Manning recently passed his physical exam, assuring his place on the Broncos' 2013 roster as the NFL officially opened for business at 2 p.m. Tuesday.

His place on the Broncos' 2013 roster in turn triggers guarantees in his salaries over the next two years.

[NightTerror218]

I hope Kuper reworks his contract and takes a pay cut to stay as backup and kick Manny Ramierez to the curb

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Never mind Peyton Manning's passes. The Broncos are going to try and maul defenses with runs to the right in 2013.

The Broncos have reached an agreement in principle with former San Diego Chargers guard Louis Vasquez on a four-year, $23.5 million contract. The first two years at $13 million are guaranteed. Vasquez becomes one of the 10 highest-paid guards in NFL history.

"Our firm looks at three criteria for our players: geography, money and ability to win a ring," said Robert Sheets, Vasquez's agent. "We think we hit on all three of those with this deal."

What do you seriously think the odds are of that happening? Ramirez has always been a back-up and like it or not...is actually serviceable in pass protection. The run game is where he lacks.

On the other hand, Kuper isnt likely to ride the bench on the team he was a captain on. I think he'd request to be released. I would

Kuper's career is likely over for all intents and purposes. I don't think he's going to be making any demands.

Green Bay is still in the mix.

Rams maybe. I just don't get the need here unless we move Decker to the slot. I'd be okay with that, but Jennings wont be cheap

[NightTerror218]

[Lancane]

Rams maybe. I just don't get the need here unless we move Decker to the slot. I'd be okay with that, but Jennings wont be cheap

Denver was looking at possibly drafting Hopkins or Allen in the first round - so this isn't that far fetched, if Denver signs him I bet that means that Thomas will be kicked over to the second receiver position with Decker in the slot.

to play WR??

I don't buy into that report. Jennings is not a need or a fit.

No shit Sherlock...but I don't understand why Denver would go after a big name WR like that. I'm not complaining, just don't see it coming.

[Lancane]

I don't buy into that report. Jennings is not a need or a fit.

I guess you don't buy that Denver is high on Allen and Hopkins whom are both slated to go in the first round of the draft? Not being a smartass Bailey, but if you think about it - Denver may believe he is worth the money, that and he is a proven commodity, while Thomas and Decker did have a lot of missed routes and drops, despite having solid seasons.

Dude, Thomas is a pro bowl WR and Decker isn't far behind. They have their faults, but not enough to spend what it would take for Jennings.

I would MUCH rather us pursue Welker. Similar price and would fill our slot WR need.

[CoachChaz]

I agree we need more WR's...just not one that is going to want around 10 mil

Welker is on the wrong side of 30, and if you look at the free agents or most of them the team is interested in they're on the youthful side, have upside and have established themselves in this league. I understand people wanting Welker, just not sure it will happen. And beside Thomas having Pro-Bowl numbers, he was snubbed and a good portion of that was his missed routes and drops.

[NightTerror218]

I agree we need more WR's...just not one that is going to want around 10 mil

I think we need a quality slot WR and some depth. Behind thomas and decker its pretty weak. Willis ran some horrible routes and cost us a pick 6 in a game. Huge talent drop afer Thomas/decker/stokely

would love for it to happen. Takes Brady's best weapon away, arguably his unstable force. Welker is so hard to defend because he is so good in his routes and speedy.

[Northman]

Yea, i dont see us signing Welker either. He is going to want a hefty price.

[SR]

Yea, i dont see us signing Welker either. He is going to want a hefty price.

Unless he gives us the "Lets go **** up Foxborough" discount.

[Ravage!!!]

We absolutely need more depth at WR. Danny Amendola would work well for working in the slot, or get some guys for depth. Outside of DT and Decker, we are lacking.

Welker isn't going to fit here. He's had a lifetime of rivalry with Manning while in NE, and after playing with Brady for so long, I don't think it fits within the "sympatico " of what we are building.

[Lancane]

Unless he gives us the "Lets go **** up Foxborough" discount.

[chazoe60]

Well, Orlando Franklin is originally from Canada. ;)

[Ravage!!!]

Welker found the perfect system for him in NE with Brady. Outside of that situation, I think he would be a HUGE disappointment considering the price tag he would be taking.

I bet NE signs Danny Amendola to fill that role.

I'm not sure who else saw it, but apparently Mendenhall sent Josina Anderson a text saying that he's heading to Arizona and then Denver. This is enough to take me right off the Mendenhall bandwagon (if I was ever on it). We DO NOT need another mole for Josina on the team. We had enough of those in the McDaniels era.

He was actually upset that people celebrated his death and the manner in which they did so, not that he was actually killed. That's not a douchebag, that is a humanitarian. Though I wouldn't have said ****, he's allowed his opinion on issues...especially if Te'o is allowed to have a fake girlfriend who is actually a dude.

[HORSEPOWER 56]

I'm pretty happy about the idea of getting Terrance "Pot Roast" Knighton. Big fan favorite here in Jax and a better DT than any on our roster (including Vickerson). If JDR knows one thing, it's DTs.

Broncos and Vickerson still talking. So it could be DT Vickerson (330 lb), DT Terrance Knighton (330 lb) in defensive middle.

As depth but not an immediate starter. Other needs that could use an impact player immediate, WR and CB for one. But who knows who could fall to us at any position. We will need to make final cuts down to 53 in TC.

I don't view Decker as a slot guy. I think he is best suited on the outside. A good slot WR isn't a dime a dozen. Theres only a few that stand out in the league. We really only have 2 receiving threats in Thomas and Decker imo

The Denver Broncos’ offense was unique in 2011 as it was based around Tim Tebow’s ability to run the ball. The run-first attack led to more downfield passes and Eric Decker was a target out of the slot on a number of those passes.

If the Broncos are completely happy with their starters then how come they're really interested in Hopkins (6'1) First Round Grade, Allen (6'2) First Round Grade, and Swope (6'0) 2nd Round Grade, according to everyone on here, only Swope fits the typical slot role.

[Lancane]

Have you even been watching how the Broncos' (Elway) have been drafting or selecting their picks? Denver does not draft kids that are not invited to the combine, in fact all of their draft picks are combine invitees. All of their draftees have met with them at the Senior Bowl, East-West Game or at the Combine, most of those invited for private workouts but did not previously meet with them have not been drafted by the team...in fact there is only one or two of their picks that were surprised to be drafted by the Broncos. This front office is very transparent, and most of us have come to realize that - Elway is nothing like Shanahan or McDouchebag.

If meeting with Allen, Hopkins and Swope wasn't enough, the fact they are inquiring about Jennings puts a nail in the discussion, they're looking for more then wide receiver depth. You can doubt me all you want, but all signs are pointing to the fact.

[underrated29]

Well to be fair Chris Harris was a Ufda who was not invited to the combine.



But the real reason why I am posting is we better frisking not sign Shaun Phillips. I freacking hate that guy! Hate with a passion! I don't care ow good he is. He is one douche I do not ever want to see on this team.

[dogfish]

the dumervil situation is the key for me. . . if we manage to retain him, adding vasquez and potentially knighton would be a damn nice offseason before we even get to the draft. . . if we trade out doom's 10-12 sacks and 40-50 snaps a game for 5-6 and maybe 30 from freeney, we'll have to add knighton and probably another just to maintain the status quo on defense. . . i'd also bring back unrein, and draft a DL with one of our first three or four picks. . .

if we make more moves on offense, i'd take danny amendola, or one of the veteran backs if they're determined to go that route-- bush, Sjax or shonn green. . .

[Denver Native (Carol)]

On the first day of free agency, the Broncos jumped right in the fray, adding guard Louis Vasquez in a move that could have an impact across the team’s offensive line.

In addition, the team has reportedly set up visits with four more free agents — cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, running back Rashard Mendenhall, defensive tackle Terrance Knighton and linebacker Stewart Bradley.

Below is a look at each one one of those players. Take a look at other available free agents with the DenverBroncos.com free agency primer.

Well, after Jennings was offered a contract worth 10 million a year, I really didn't expect them to continue inquiring about him. This is surprising because I keep coming across this information and it's being shot down just as quickly. At least Adam is a reliable source compared to most. If he does sign, I hope he proves a better signing then other former Pats who've come to Denver *cough*cough*.

However, I wouldn't be surprised if Welker's camp is entertaining the offer to force New England's hand.

[BroncoWave]

Please, please, please bring in Welker. I don't care that he's over 30, we are trying to win now. I also don't get the criticism that he can only do well in Brady's offense. Is Manning suddenly chopped liver in getting a WR accustomed to his offense?

This move would make the offeseason a complete success to me.

[Northman]

Yea, i would be a little surprised. Welker wont come cheap either.

[BroncoWave]

I don't care what it costs to bring him in. I think he would make us pretty strong favorites in the AFC. Not only because we would have him, but because the Pats wouldn't.

Look at the success of Patriots who've been successful outside the system, so there are always questions and then add in his age? I think Welker can replace Stokely easily enough without having to force Decker back in the slot as we did in 2011. So I'm not against signing him, just hope he proves not to be like other former Patriots that have come to Denver and then became nothing but fodder or worse.

Don't get me wrong, I like our TEs, and together they had very good stats, but I think on most cases, our strongest offense if Welker is here will have Thomas, Decker and Welker all out there.

Now just imagine what they could do if Manning would of slashed his salary. We could of really loaded up.

This is starting to worry me a little. Teams that "load up" in March never really play well.

I kind of hope they are about done.

Id rather have Stokes as a backup slot than one of the other scrubs(Willis) backing up Thomas / Decker.

Not until they at least sign Knighton.
