He's always injured but he can take a hit?

It starts and ends with Trevor or any quarterback whose sucking.

I think it was more mental issues and off-field issues with Dareus rather than physical ability. If you get him, it's questionable whether he is really 100% motivated and committed to football - or is he potentially another Daryl "Pancake House" Gardner?

Remember that dude, who got the big contract and then was useless because of character issues (got in a fight outside the Aurora International House of Pancakes at 1:30 AM one night and broke his hand and couldn't play for the Broncos)?

I don't think they want Darius because they have a locker room full of warriors who are 100% every game (so far, that could change if they sense that all their efforts are doomed because their offense is can't score).

6th round pick for an All-Pro DL is worth the risk, especially with Wolfe’s constant injury situation. I feel like I have a good idea why they’re not interested in Dareus, and I think it’s stupid.

The season is slipping away, doing nothing makes zero sense. Duane Brown is seemingly available too, $10 says they have no interest there either. Because what would happen to Garcia if Watson becomes too expensive to be a backup?

Edit, Hell, I’d sweeten the pot and give Bills a 6th and Trevor Siemian. I know that makes no sense around Broncos fans where Ty Taylor enjoys a large fan base.

I suppose one reason they may not want him is because of the salary cap implications. Pass.

If so it’s based on yearly salary alone, his signing/roster bonuses were already paid and if he is what Cugel says he is then cutting him at any time would result in zero dead money.

But if they don’t cut him his salary counts against the cap. I think he’s somewhere in the 15 million plus range. Denver can’t afford that.

He’s currently 12th on Jags salary cap at $9.7 M, $7 M in guaranteed ‘18 salary and zero guaranteed money after that.

Denver currently has $11.5 M in cap space ... and about another $6 M in Davis/Green dead weight.

Cut Todd Davis, Virgil Green and Alan Barbre gives Denver $8 M in cap space with zero dead money.

Yeah, that sounds do-able, but their problems are on the other side of the ball.

The moral/story, Spiker, is that Kyle Peko sucks.

roger that. I haven’t seen him play enough to have an opinion.
