Its a crap signing now. With that being said we didn't have many options for vet experience not named Watson or Stephenson. The draft is super thin for OT help as well. I'm pissed we didn't go after Flemming from NE at RT, but I'm not a GM either. Elway made a simple call. He needed a Vet tackle that can fill either spot if shit hits the fan like last year. If healthy he will be a decent starter if not we just wasted 10 mil. I hope to god Billy turner improves to as he is probably going to be the swing and with injury history to Veldheer and poor draft options we are gonna need some luck. More than likely were gonna struggle a bit. Maybe not as bad as last year but a struggle none the less. We really need to hope we can grab a guy like Kolton Miller from UCLA or Martinas Rankin from Mississippi State. They both are solid rd. 2-3 tackles that could surprise at RT this year. Biggest knock on the tackle class is lack of weight for size and most got pushed around, that's no Bueno for college to pro transition, However a couple guys like the ones I just mentioned simply need a gym and did well in college and show plus athleticism, The others need lots of development. I'm hoping for Rankin myself, I think he can make a impact as early as TC. Also check out Austin Corbett from Nevada (rd 3-4 guy.)
From Walterfootball.com:
Broncos acquire OT Jared Veldheer from Cardinals for 6th-round picks
Jared Veldheer was once a solid starting left tackle in the NFL. He was never an elite player, but he was in the second tier of blind-side protectors for a while. That hasn't been the case recently, as he was atrocious last year. There were rumors that Veldheer wanted to retire prior to 2017, and he certainly played like he hung up the cleats. I figured Veldheer would call it a career after his awful 2017 campaign, but apparently not.
Not only is Veldheer a shell of his former self, he also carries a $10.2 million cap hit. The Broncos are eating it in exchange for a sixth-round pick, which doesn't seem right. You'd think they'd get a sixth-rounder to take on the Veldheer money in an NBA-style deal. Thus, I'd say the Cardinals won this trade because they got rid of a terrible contract.
However, this isn't a complete loss for Denver. Veldheer is still just 31, so there's still a chance, albeit a small one, that he would bounce back. The Broncos are desperate for right tackle help, and as bad as Veldheer was last year, he would be an upgrade over what they had there last year.
Grade for Broncos - C
Grade for Cardinals - A-

I alluded to the RT point in my post and the article is basically about how I feel with regards to the trade.

No, that goes against the popular way of things around here. Everything sucks and nothing Elway does is right. Why would we hold off until after the draft and training game tom completely write the season off? Hell, is it too early to predict we're going to win 2 games in 2019?
In this case a spade is a spade....Watson was a less talented version of this scenario the year prior. We hoped for the best, but the fact was he was injury prone and had lost some skill, and sure enough ouch! Veldheer is in the same boat albeit he has some more talent but the concerns are valid and had supporting evidence all over the last 2 years. For 10 mil, I hate it. I get why we made the move, but I'm not a blind sheep either, and this just isn't that great. I would wager these same conversations have been held by Elway and his staff and they are hoping for the best, knowing how weak the FA class and his current roster at RT is....

lol! don't let KC and the sunshine boys get to ya, Einc. . .
I thought the Broncos were picking up $6m of his $10m contract and the Cardinals were eating $4m.
But, as for him wanting to retire after last year, who cares? Nick Foles wanted to retire after the 2016 season, and wound up being SB MVP. Funny how a change of teams and coaches can change things. For the Broncos he's an upgrade. If he plays average they will be thrilled. In AZ he was a disappointment they wanted to get rid of.
