    That seemed inevitable with the Chubb pick.
    *The statements above are my opinions, unless they are links, because then they are links, which wouldn't make them my opinions, and I suppose stats aren't necessarily opinion, but they are certainly presented to support an opinion. Proceed accordingly.

    My hope is Ray plays well and Denver re-signs, but my guess is that if plays well and lets say he ends with 10 or more sacks, to re-sign I see where he won't get substantially more than the $9 million that he would get if Denver just picked the 5th year option.

    Its the smart move by Denver. Shane may not like it but he controls his own destiny.


    If he has a great year, Denver can franchise him and trade him or keep him at about 15 mil.


    If he has that big year, there will be suitors including possibly the Broncos.

    But Barrett at this point is the better player.

    He also has to improve in the run game to really get paid.
    He did squat with the opportunities he did have last year and got outplayed by Barrett who wouldn’t start on the majority of teams out there...

    I agree with some of you.
    I think this is a good move with Ray. I like the kid! Injuries might have hurt him but he needs to step up this year.

    He stands to make himself a lot of money if he plays well. Either from someone else or us.

    He was coming off an injury. I'm inclined to give him a bit of a pass on that

    In 2016 when Ray and Barrett were healthy Ray had 8 sacks while Barrett had 1.5. It's still possible that Ray could be re-signed, however Ray comes with 10 or more sacks I think it would be near to impossible to re-sign him.

    If Ray is in the 10 sack range I doubt Denver could re-sign him. From some of comments sound like Ray been slouch but numbers don't bear that out. Over the same 3 year period Ray's stats look very similar to Barrett's number other than sack and Ray still has even though he missed half of last season with injury. If Ray is healthy he's the better player.

    I get that. I’m not suggesting he sucks. I’m suggesting he’s better suited as a rotational guy who comes in on obvious passing downs. Otherwise teams will run right at him and he’ll get washed out.

    Ray's significant season was due to Von getting double-teamed. IMO, of course.

    With a true/elite rusher on the other side now in Chubb, teams won't be able to double team both of them. That's assuming Chubb is going to be as good as advertised.
