Thread: 2012 FAs

I think we need to draft BPA and use FA to fill holes.

WR (would like a vet to add some stability to young WR corp)
Reggie Wayne
Marques Colston
Vincent Jackson

DB
Brent Grimes
Cortland Finnegan (even if i hate him)
William Gay

OL (if anything depth)
Demetrius Bell
Carl Nicks

DT (if we can get a great DT, why not)
jason jones
resign Bunkley
bradon mckinney

LB
resign woodyard
resign haggen
mario williams
stephen tulloch

RB
Mike Tolbert (bruiser)
Ryan Grant


I think in draft we should go BPA no matter what. We are low of outstanding talent and need to build through the draft. But we have lots of players leaving and lots of holes next season. We will have Miller and Willams as contracted LBs. We have Doomer/Ayers/Warren as DL on contract. These are just some of the names to look at, out of a long list of many names.

I agree with the BPA method, but I don't think the Broncos bring in any high priced free agents. We're still 2-3 years away from being serious super bowl contenders. Keep bringing in affordable free agents that have some game left in them (like McGahee), and build through the draft. I like the direction that EFX has taken thus far.

in our division we can be in playoffs every year. I think if we fix some glaring holes and let our young players get experience we can go deeper.

None of those three wide receiver would sign here, nor should Denver pay heavily for them.

Would like to see some additions on the offensive line, but I'd rather go young at linebacker.

I wouldn't expect any of these players to be signed by Denver.

EFX said they would build thru the draft (bpa) and mainly look at 2nd contract FA's.
Minus mcgahee, mainly out of necessity, theyre doing that.

They said the $2M saved from orton would go toward re-signing guys. Hopefully Bunk is one.

As for wr's.....lol......good luck with that.

I want the Giants RT McKenzie.

I'd take EJ Henderson at MLB if the Vikings let him go.

If we could pick up a FA corner I'd be thrilled, but the guy I was hoping for (Rogers) is now gonna be really expensive and the Broncos are cheap.

But Goodman has to go. I expect a CB in the draft too, but a veteran out there across from Champ (a veteran who can still cover, unlike Goodman) would be nice. If not, better spend a high pick on one.

I hope we have more balls in this FA market than we did in the last one. Saving money is nice, but we need to re-stock our talent and you don't get 15 draft picks...

Familiar with Chris Gamble?

If he doesn't ask for the stars and the moon i wouldn't mind adding him a bit. Though if doesn't ask for a big contract the Panthers may resign him. He's had a solid season. And still get a nice DB in the Draft to groom.

I have my doubts about Grant. And there's no way I want Tulloch.

The rest isn't bad though. I really want Woodyard back.

this is just a list of some of the higher end FAs. But in general of who we should look at, RT McKenzie would be awesome and move Franklin inside.

The only reason we could be in after Wayne is because they dont have a lot of money since the Manning deal, so either they need to part with him or pick between Wayne or Mathis who is going to ask for big money. I have read this a couple places. That they need to move money around to keep both or all three.

Bowe is going to be a FA.

Rumor is he'll expect a huge payday and the Chiefs will not be
in agreement to what his agent will likely be asking...like I said
rumors.

I hope he doesn't sign elsewhere.

I saw him on the list but figured since KC has no other WR they must keep him. He will ask big money but unlike Lloyd he deserves it.

They've got Breaston and Baldwin...I hope you're right..the Chiefs can be
cheapskates.

..be here all day.

Baldwin will be a player someday and Breaston is good as KCL stated.
