Thread: Pot Roast- Re-Sign Him or Let Him Walk?

Players like knighton are only as useful as they are motivated

There's the other side of the coin. He's already been fined 300k for weight issues on a modest (by NFL standards) salary. What happens when the fines don't really mean much with a big salary?

He was pretty damn good in the SuperBowl as well.

Yup agreed. But rotten in this years divisional round - which is the most recent memory, maybe that is influencing people's view

I think Pot Roast became a BIGGER "must sign" after signing Wade as the DC.

He's already said he wants to play for JDR in no uncertain terms. I'm holding out little hope he can be brought back.

He didn't say it as if "I'm going to sign with JDR no matter what"... he said it in a way that means he likes JDR. That was also before signing Phillips as our DC. It sounds great to say "I will follow my DC no matter where he goes".. because that shows support for that coach. But at the same time he has to be saying "ugh, he went to Oakland."

He's probably going to command 7-8 million per year to retain.

That's why I would let him walk and put Sly on the nose. Nothing personal. Great player.

I'd like to keep him but not if he breaks the bank. I trust Elway and company will make the right call.

Cant keep everybody. Denver isnt made of money.

True, of course this is moot if Manning does not return...Denver will be able to sign all their free agents...lol. I kid, I kid.

In the end it will depend on what he is demanding, if he demands Suh, Ngata and McCoy type money then let him walk, sort of how I see it with J. Thomas and D. Thomas, I'd love for them to all remain Broncos but they are not worth it if they want that huge payday. I think they'll offer him closer to 5 or 6 million a season to be honest, then we'll see how much he really wants to stay or he can go to Oakland who overpays everybody.

and then he said this, two days after del taco was announced in oakland. . .

"I have made it clear that I want to be here (Denver). I know I might not be their top priority because of all (the team's other free agents). I am comfortable here. I love the city. I love the fans, and I love the organization," Knighton told The Denver Post Friday. "And I love the fact that (general manager) John Elway puts together a championship-caliber roster every year. Being in Jacksonville, I know what it's like on the other end of the spectrum. With team success comes player success. Me being happy is way more important than money."

and. . .

"The loss is another reason why I want to be back in Denver. We owe the city and the fans a championship."

the guy isn't stupid. . . who wants to move to oakland and play for that putrid organization when they're currently living in beautiful denver, and playing for the class of the division? don't ship the dude to the raiders just yet. . . granted, i'm sure it will come down to the money to some extent-- that's natural, and understandable. . . i don't see why we can't keep him if our FO really wants to, though. . .

He has not said that.

I'd def like to keep him. I think his snaps go up in the 34

Yea, he said the latter things after taking some heat from the fanbase. At this point im not really sure what to believe as he flip flops on his comments pretty easily.
