Broncos had asked Texans for permission to interview Wes Welker for WR coach. Texans denied request for what would have been a promotion. Broncos opted for one-year NFL coach Zach Azzanni as WR coach. #9sports

I didn’t think they could block a promotion

Pretty sure that only applies to HC promotions.

Well, in that specific case, they were just trying to save us from ourselves.

Pretty good piece of Legwold talking about the difficulties the Broncos are going to face in signing a free agent QB and some options they have for clearing up some cap space (without making it worse with dead money). A couple excerpts below, but it's worth reading the full thing.

Given a player like Cousins on the open market is expected to command more than what the league's highest-paid quarterback is making per year -- the deal of the Detroit Lions' Matthew Stafford averages $27 million -- the Broncos will need to create plenty of space to sign a marquee player or two. They also need to cover their draft class and training camp.

There is also the matter with quarterbacks Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch playing under their rookie contracts the last two seasons. The Broncos have been able to use the salary-cap space most teams devote to quarterbacks elsewhere. To now sign a quarterback, use a first-round draft pick on one, or both, will take some adjustment. And the list of players whose contracts could create space, either by their release or a re-negotiation, includes familiar names.

...

Anderson's contract is written in a way that the Broncos would have no "dead money" -- salary-cap charges for players no longer on the roster -- if he is released; his savings would be the full $4.5 million he is scheduled to count against the cap. Also, Talib's deal, with just a $1 million dead-money charge, would create $11 million worth of room if he is released -- and the Broncos believe Roby is ready to be a starter. Sanders' deal would create $5.6 million worth of room in addition to a $5.538 million charge if he is released.

Not to mention- Manning chose Denver over Tennessee.

It wont be that hard.

We have about 25 mil right now.

Talib is 10, heman is 10, watson is 7, stephenson is 5, cj is 5.....That is another near 40 mil right there if we wanted. I would keep talib out of all of them and we are still gettin cousing with enough cap to get a RT and WR and TE in FA. Jimmy Graham come on down!
