A penetrating interior pass rush is extremely valuable and often the most over looked part of the defense. Malik should get most of the praise for the production that our OLB's got as he made them slide out

Jared Crick. Plug and play, and I don't expect Denver to miss a beat.

He didn't start for 2 years in Texas, but that doesn't mean he can't handle his business now. I think Crick will be pretty good for us too, but I do expect some dropoff from Jackson. If not, then Wade Phillips really is a damn genius and we need to stick his head in one of those Futurama bottles and keep him around forever.

Our best WR is Sanders and we might lose him I but don't think we will.
Jackson is going to be really hard to replace and I don't think we will. But we couldn't really re-sign him either. They'll find ways to plug in play different guys t find something that works. Lot of good players in a very good system. The best thing Denver has going for itself on the Denver side is a great system. System trumps players any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
We moved on without Decker.
We moved on without Moreno.
We moved on without Julius Thomas.
We moved on without DRC
We moved on without Pot Roast
We moved on without Welker
I would have loved to have kept most of them but we let them walk and we have a Lombardi without them. That's the way this works. It's a mature franchise that has to manage their cap carefully. In all honesty, the best teams stay on top by getting and keeping the best coaches as well as the best players.
Another part of the churn is the compensation for unsigned free agents. New England can lose draft picks because they get extra bonus picks each year for letting a certain number of FAs walk. It's how the game is played.
I miss the old Mile High Stadium.
I really like this a lot. The salary cap era pushes a lot of very linear and binary decisions on teams and players. You mentioned in another post that New England has the habit of letting an expensive guy walk while simultaneously signing a slightly less productive player and his replacement. That is very astute; I would like to add that when a team does this, they can sometimes sign multiple 'lesser but still good players' to reasonable deals. Green Bay won't pay its WR's megabucks, but they will dole out solid contracts to keep a strong corp together. I think it possible that Denver might take that same approach with the defensive line. This gets easier to do when you take the aforementioned 'New England' approach.
Our best WR is Sanders, lol. Uh-huh...
