    Default Julius Thomas in contract talks with Jaguars; Orlando Franklin generating interest

    The Broncos never did reach out to discuss a contract with Julius Thomas this offseason.

    The tight end is working out contract details with the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to an NFL source. The deal is not done, according to the source. Then again, no free agent can sign with another team until 2 p.m. Tuesday.
    AND
    Left guard Orlando Franklin has reportedly drawn serious interest from the rival San Diego Chargers ($26.3 million in cap space) and coach Mike McCoy, who was Franklin's offensive coordinator in Denver from 2011-12, and the Philadelphia Eagles ($43.7 million in cap space).

    The impending departure of Julius Thomas is going to make Virgil Green a rich(er) man. Broncos can't afford to lose him.

    Two sources indicating TE Julius Thomas is just about done/signed in Jacksonville

    Green will get some more money but it will be a lot less than JT's asking for. Will be interesting to see if JT can pull off the same success in Jax but i doubt it.

    Jacksonville... I hope the money is more important than anything. There's absolutely zero shot that Jacksonville will win a Championship in the next 10 years.

    If I was a coveted free agent and Jacksonville, Jokeland, Cleveland, or Buffalo came calling, I'd immediately put a $2 Mil extra stipulation on top of whatever everyone else was offering. All of those teams are in terrible shape from the top down.

    Which is exactly what Randall Cobb did yesterday. He took about 2 million less per year to stay in Green Bay.

    Rule #1 for receiver free agents (aka "The Decker Rule"). First, sign with a team that has a friggin' quarterback.

    In all fairness I think Jacksonville is a couple of players away from having a decent offense. They need a legitimate #1 WR because Blackmon sucks. They need an offensive lineman or two. Their running back situation leaves something to be desired but could be worse. Bortles is a hell of an athlete and has a bright future.

    Jax could become good very soon. They have the cash to surround Bortles with players. Just comes down to is Bortles the real deal.

    I guess Julius Thomas doesn't have a heart for Denver. Money over heart.... not good.

    Teams with quarterbacks can get deals because of it. Teams without talent can offer more money. It boils down to why your playing football.

    article updated - new things
    The Denver Post's Troy Renck reported that defensive tackle Terrance "Pot Roast" Knighton is generating serious interest from multiple teams, with Washington ($24.5 million in cap room) the most aggressive pursuer.

    The Oakland Raiders ($59.6 million), now coached by former Broncos defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio; the Chicago Bears ($28.6 million), now coached by former Broncos' head coach John Fox and defensive line coach Jay Rodgers; and the Indianapolis Colts ($38.1 million) have expressed interest in Knighton.

    The Broncos have not made a move to re-sign Knighton and, as of Friday, had not been in contact with Franklin's agent.
    AND

    There is a good chance the Broncos may not sign a player on Day 1 of free agency Tuesday.

    Meanwhile, the Broncos are monitoring the market for safety Rahim Moore. He is drawing solid interest from multiple teams. He is considered the second-best safety in the free-agent market, behind only New England's Devin McCourty, who is in hot demand. It could be that once McCourty reaches an agreement, teams losing out on him will turn to Moore.
