Thread: Off Season Moves

If we use some of the cap space to sign Fuller, all is well and I can be excited about the defense.

This team is rudderless, from ownership on down.

Mo I love your football takes but you have a blind spot for Lindsay. He regressed this year, flat out. You can blame the coaches all day, but the coaches didn't drop half the passes thrown his way or continually miss blocking assignments, or get stuffed on over half his runs or miss over 1/3 of the season due to injury. If your evaluation of him is correct that he's this this inexpendable playmaker, teams should be tripping over themselves to sign him, right? I just don't think the offense will miss him whatsoever.

Also reminds me of the complete hole left by Julius Thomas at tight end. Not even a first round draft pick has filled that hole.

I partially agree, I just wanted to point out that Julius never achieved after he left here. He had a total of 12 (5, 4, 3) TDs over three more seasons before retiring, he had 24 w/ PFM in 2013 and 2014 (12 each).

Man ain’t no arguing with a Lindsay fanatic. You got it bro.....

I do know however Paton wants backup RB's and offensive players to play special teams though, which Lindsay does not. I am also pretty confident that Lindsay made whatever issues he and Shurmur had worse. So that's never a good. I also know he missed some blatant pass blocks and had some key drops in key moment's that stand out from last year as well as some very bad runs. I didn't see the same vision last year he had in year 1 or the start of year 2....A case can also be made this is absolutely about money, and we weren't ever going to give him a long term contract because doing that for RB's just doesn't make sense for teams right now. We gave him a 1.3 mil pay raise and after productive conversations probably about usage and fit and special teams they amicably parted ways.

Lindsay was done the minute he bashed his coach, whether shurmer is here or not you can’t have that! Whether it’s true or not you just can’t do it man. You don’t go on the radio and bash your coaches.

Lindsay never really forgave the broncos anyway for passing on him all 7 rounds, he said he didn’t even want to play for Denver after they passed on him in all 7 rounds and that Denver one the main team he wanted to stick it too. Now he’ll get his chance for however long it last for him which won’t be long. Free agency started Monday and Lindsay has yet to receive the huge deal he was looking for.

Good luck to him aslong as he doesn’t end up on a rival!

Sorry but this is too ironic coming from the president of the Lock fan club.

Oh really? If Lock is replaced I won’t act like it’s the end of the world and take it out on the replacement like folks are doing with Boone whose going to prove to be very good with a increased role.

I’m a big time Fields fan and Lance is growing on me too, both of them won’t be available at 9 but if they were and we drafted one of them I’d surely be expecting the replacement of Lock and be fine with it. I’m not going to lose my shit over the inevitable. Lindsay has started breaking down and he’s bashing coaches in public..... wtf?

However it’s obvious after hearing Paton during that introduction that Lock is there plan for this year. And if one of the top QBs fall in his lap he just might take that guy and even then he’d sit behind Lock minimum a year.

I’m not just blindly telling you guys that Lock is the guy it’s just what the lack of signing a QB says and what Paton says. If you listen to the man you’d know he’s not about to replace Lock just to replace him. You literally have people here mentioning alex smith. Andy Dalton name was thrown around, the Colts guy... all these mediocre guy’s and Paton was never going to do any of that. Also now that Watson has been exposed by the Texans for having masseuses grab on his meat that trade is dead. Watson is not going anywhere for atleast another year.

He might as well be prepared to sit out!

“We’ve evaluated all the quarterbacks,” Paton said, via Mike Klis of KUSA. “We like Drew Lock. We have a plan in place and there’s free agency, there’s the draft, there’s trades, there’s a lot of ways to acquire a quarterback. Fortunately, we have a quarterback here and we have a nice quarterback room. We do want to bring in competition. We are not going to force it.”

This seems reasonable. Keeping their eyes open for an upgrade or competitior if it comes along, but won't force it if they can't find the right guy.

Doing this opens up the draft. Instead of focusing on a CB (all of which I feel are overrated), we can look at a guy like Parsons or Barmore or trade back a little for a guy like Moehrig.

Fixing the secondary in FA just opens up a lot of draft flexibility

Broncos likely to pursue CB Kyle Fuller, who’d make Denver a Top-5 defense

Now that would be some scary defense there.
