Thread: Chris Harris: Pay me or trade me

He is getting paid, whether it's Denver or not, he's going to make the money his play has set him up for.

He has no reason to panic and I'm certain he isn't doing so.

By suggesting he is unhappy with his current pay grade after Elway has already spoke on it. If he feels that confident then maybe he should just trust the process.

Miller did the same thing a couple of years ago. This is less than a non story.

Fair...but I'm going to assume he's going to want the going rate for elite CB's since this will be his last contract.

Logic says that the Broncos are sitting in a division with the Chefs who have Mahomes, the Chargers who have Phillip Rivers and the Raiders who have Derek Carr and a boat-load of draft picks in the first and second round, this year and next.

The Broncos meanwhile have Joe Flacco, whose last good season was in 2014.

Logic says that there is NOBODY they can draft or acquire who can replace Harris, any more than they managed to replace Aqib Talib with Bradley Roby. That didn't work out and this wouldn't either.

IF John Elway is really serious about making a playoff push sometime in the next 3 years they NEED Chris Harris. Period.

If he wants to rebuild and start over with a newer younger roster, then fine. Draft a CB at #10 and go with the roster he has. But, they just paid a boatload of money to a couple of DBs who are unworthy to lace Harris' shoes! That's NOT a replacement!

But,don't try and pretend that his injury is going to affect him. That's just B.S.
Dude played in the pro-bowl. He's not hampered by injury.

So, it comes down to Elway either getting a deal done that pays Harris what he's worth, or else . . . .

I don't see that as panicking.

Would that be unfair of him to want that?

This thread is full of lulz.

Could the Broncos, Chris Harris Jr contract situation end up in a trade?

The Denver Broncos opened up its offseason program on Tuesday without the presence of one if it’s top defensive players and leaders in the locker room: cornerback Chris Harris Jr.

Harris reportedly opted to skip the first day of team workouts to send a message about wanting a contract extension from the club.

But should things between Harris and the Broncos come to an impasse, could Denver opt to ship the All-Pro cornerback out of town?


“He’s got one year left on his deal. Extend me or trade me. I think that’s the message being sent,” said “Stokley and Zach” co-host Brandon Stokley on Tuesday. “And I think the Broncos are going to have to do one of those two things.”

Stokley said the Broncos aren’t likely to let the situation play out into training camp or the regular season, that they’re “not going to just call his bluff.”

“So, they’re either going to have to extend him or they’re going to have to trade him. And if they do trade him, guess what? The team that trades for him is going to extend him,” Stokley said.

“Schlereth and Evans” co-host Mark Schlereth pointed toward the recent Antonio Brown-Pittsburgh Steelers saga as an example of how the situation between the Broncos and Harris could play out.

Not really. It’s a big enough story to be a major topic on sports radio 104.3 The Fan, for Nicki Javala to talk about it, for Von Miller to speak on it during his press conference.

You mean the local media is running with the only thing that's remotely a story before the draft because, well, they have to talk about something? Amazing. That doesn't make it any less of a giant lulz nothing burger.

Well, she's just trying to show 1043 she's ready to be in their ranks. Obviously it worked, she's now one of them lol.

Not as long as he is still elite. When looking at this deal, Elway has to forget the past and look at the now and the future. It doesn't matter what he was paid before. The only thing that matters is what his value is today and in future years. So, I think it's fine to pay him elite money for the next 2-3 years...but anything longer than that cannot be guaranteed.

Beef thanks for making this thread real again.
