I suppose he has to be better than Watson, but that's what we said about Watson taking over for Stephenson

yes. . .

if he's healthy, i do think he's at least better than those slugs. . .

They should put that on his headstone! "Better than those other slugs"

If Watson gets cut, we have some dead money but save $4.5 million to offset some of this as well.

Are you sure? I think the prorated cap hit transfers with the player. Think back to when Plummer retired and had to pay back part of his signing bonus to Tampa, not the Broncos.

I'm pretty sure Broncos will be on the hook for the full cap number.

:facepalm:

FWIW, this site saying Denver on hook for full $10.2, but I didn’t follow the link they gave.

News flash. I'm like Ivory soap, 99 4/100 right.

Dude is so beat up and ineffective that he has been considering retirement.

So we pay 10 mil for this guy but don't sniff the home state LT for 15? Seems legit.

I don’t believe you, that’s inconceivable.

The Cards OL is said to be pretty weak too, so there’s that.
