Thread: Franklin to SD

I agree with that general thought, but if Elway thought someone else was an upgrade at that same money, then he might do it. It'll be interesting to see what we come up with in the next few days.

Now that makes sense. No way is he worth that kind of money.

I wouldn't say he isn't worth it, he is a good blocker who has shown he can play multiple positions. It is a stretch but not out of line.

I would say at those $$ we just can't afford him though.

He was versatile, he had a fire on the line that we will miss, but that's a lot of money. He was by no means extraordinary, he wasn't terrible, he was was upper echelon, but that's tackle money, will be interesting to see where SD plays him. I wish we hadn't experimented with him.

LG and RT money is actually very similar. I heard McCoy wants to use him at RT again, for what it's worth.

With the cap going up, this is the going rate for a guy of his abilities. Everyone seems overpriced this year, but that's what happens when there's money to spend.

maybe if you excersized some pull on your meet this thread wouldn't exist

My sentiments exactly. I think this comes down to schematics more than not appreciating or not wanting Franklin and his attitude back. I think he just doesn't fit he Kubiak offense as well.


I really wish he wasn't going to SD though,bill always like the guy but I can't root for him now.

Wisniewski fits Elway's preferred profile in FA -- player coming into second contract -- but Myers durable and is plug-and-play ready.

With Hudson off market...best C options in free agency for #Broncos are Wisniewski and Myers -- team has expressed interest in both.

Chris Myers was a #Broncos rookie in '05 when Kubiak was OC and played six seasons w/Texans for Kubiak. Has not missed start in 8 years.

Jeff Legwold @Jeff_Legwold · 1h

With @OFranklin74's deal in San Diego, #Broncos have openings at C, LG and RT ... And C's getting plenty of their early attention.

I'm more annoyed that there was zero communication with Pot Roast.

And that the team is still interested in Moore.

Definitely looks like a terrible offseason, something that really hasn't happened under JFE.

How do you know there hasn't been any talks with him?

I'm going to wait and see what we do in free agency before I call the offseason a failure. I would imagine we have some quality targets we are looking to bring in.

It would be a shame if we brought back Manning just to gut the team around him and be less competitive.

NFL: "League office is beginning investigations into a number of reported agreements with clubs. Violations will be dealt with accordingly.”

I know one team the NFL won't be investigating for prematurely agreeing to deals. Broncos still on Free Agent sidelines.

Denver wasn't openly active at the beginning of FA last year either.

Let everyone else overspend.
