UPDATE: Reports by Scout.com's Cowboys Publisher Mike Fisher have Dallas looking to move up from pick 28 in the first round to pick 20 in exchange for Romo. The Broncos would move back eight spots, but still retain their first rounder. Those eight spots in draft order represent a third round pick value.

So we're trading Lynch for Richardson?

No. we'd probably keep the QB that has talent

So we needed a LT and RG but we signed a RT and LG?

I don't like the idea of taking on Romos contract

We needed a RT worse.

Former Raiders OT Menelik Watson reached agreement with the Denver Broncos, per sources. Staying in division, defecting to rival.

This is a GREAT signing!!!!

Details on contract?

For a team that usually avoids FA like the plague, this is a pretty big move:

Adam Schefter‏Verified account @AdamSchefter 35m35 minutes ago

Former Patriots TE Martellus Bennett is signing with the Packers, per source.

From MHR

Right now, the Broncos offensive line looks like this:

Left Tackle: ??? Left Guard: Ronald Leary Center: Matt Paradis Right Guard: Max Garcia Right Tackle: Menelik Watson

Draft can address this, but right now, ??? = Max{Sampro, Schofield, Stephenson}

Just saying.

Am I objectively wrong for thinking the Broncos should have sucked it up and paid Whitworth 12.5/3?

Looks like Kelvin Beachum is signing with the Jets - the last "good" LT available that I can think of.

Does that back end make things crap for the Broncos in 2019/2020? Assuming Whitworth can't start effectively?

This is what happens when your plan to draft a LT for the future doesn't materialize, and you don't have a reasonable plan to address the biggest hole on the roster.

Lynch? He has mad talent at dab gestures.
