    Traded a sixth rounder. Sounds okay to me

    AZ fans are torn. Some say good riddance. Some are upset.

    He's started 100+ games in the NFL - so while he's not going to fix the line at this stage in his career, he's the type of serviceable dude we've been missing when the wheels have completely fallen off the past couple seasons.

    Had to overpay for our QB and OT this year given how desperate we are at both positions. The upside is that we have a ton of draft capital, which should help offset the cycle a bit.

    Thanks. I never heard of him. I hope he works out for the benefit of the Broncos.

    This is the first solid Menelik Watson news I think we've seen:

    The Broncos badly needed a right tackle upgrade after Watson struggled mightily in pass protection last season. Watson was an effective run blocker. He can make up to $6.125 million this season, although none of that money is guaranteed.

    With the addition of Veldheer, Watson likely would have to accept a significant pay cut to stay as a swing backup tackle.
    Sounds like they're just waiting for him to get healthy to cut him (or let him take a big paycut like Donald Stephenson did a couple seasons ago). I think they're better off cutting their losses.

    Looking at Over the Cap, $3.25 million was a prorated signing bonus - the Cardinals will have to eat that. So he should only count $6.9 million against the cap for us, which is a great deal if he's healthy and somewhat good. If Watson gets cut, we have some dead money but save $4.5 million to offset some of this as well.

    If he passes his physical we just upgraded the weakest spot on our offense of line.

    he's a capable vet, who has played both left and right tackle. . . maybe not the big pickup most of us would have liked, but i'm good with this given the scarcity at the position. . . this is john doing what he does, covering bases however he can so he doesn't get backed into a corner in the draft. . . and i still think they'll dig up some corpse at TE before all is said and done. . . possibly a receiver as well. . . we're probably getting pretty close to done, though. . .

    Is this the guy from Oakland that the Cards over paid for a few years ago?

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