I have seen a lot of dudes with Brock Jerseys since last season.

Don't jump the gun unless you want 100s of Broncos jerseys I guess. lol

 

[Euron]

Paper thin depth at CB, and garbage at LB and S.

Now to see who they sign as low and mid tier FA's.

Well we're in the running for Gipson at least. And maybe we can get Laurinaitus?

 

[zswordsman]

DM!! You're getting a Seahawks O-lineman!! Pls celebrate

At least something good happened today. Good riddance.

 

[Himynameischris]

You know

Maybe Miami might finally pass the FA champion torch this season

You'd think so but I have a feeling we're about to sign a guard to the riches contract in history.

not really. this is a league where fucking Brock just got paid close to $20 mil a year. i think the niners could take it or leave it. what is the point of trading kap for a 4th rounder?

p.s.

its down to the niners and raiders for sean smith!

But the 4th round is full of QB possibilities!

For anyone that's curious, Vernon is a slightly above average DE who had the benefit of playing with an amazing DE in Wake and a really good DT in Suh which are responsible for his higher than average sack numbers.

He was pretty good 2 years ago though.

 

[JABEE]

Olivier Vernon is this year's Byron Maxwell: decent player at a premium position in a thin market.

$52 million guaranteed is insane

 

[Godslay]

i'm assuming he could beat out gabbert in a competition but no one knows what cheatin' chip would decide!

If the Broncos offered something, and he was to get beat out by Gabbert then it's a lose/lose because you eat his cap and get no picks in return. Otherwise, you'd have something to show for it.

Maybe he returns to glory though?

Signing a guy is much different than trading for a guy. No team is generally going to be stupid enough to trade a first round pick for a bad qb hoping that a change of scenery will cure him. Might as well just keep him if they are asking for a first. I can understand not selling low, but if Kap isn't the guy might as well get something for him.

 

[skLaFarebear]

5 year 100 mil with 60mil guaranteed for the next olineman that walks through the door.

 

[JABEE]

Why sign Bradford if Chase Daniel has a chance to win the job out of camp? How can you pay Bradford $22 million to sit on the bench?

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Sanu and Schaub to the Falcons?

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Not surprised to see the Chiefs cheating to make themselves relevant again.

Fuck 'em.

And fuck the Raiders.

 

[2002whitegt]

Texans fans how does it feel to have a good offseason thus far?

I don't know what to do with my hands.

It's weird, I'm glad they are being aggressive, but cautious on if they threw money at the right QB.

Miller I like.

we already have plenty of picks, more than can make our roster. don't need the cap room either. we currently have the most cap room in the NFL and i don't see us signing many FA's going forward either.

the point is teams are desperate for QB's, even average ones. unlike a lot of these QB's, kap has proven he can perform in the league. he has won playoff games, ROAD playoff games, taken his team to the superbowl. if you were to put him on the broncos, with that defense and kubiaks offense, i guarantee he is going to have a great year because that is similar to what we had years ago.

as for "might as well get something for him", nah. 4th rounder for kap is nothing and just a waste. rather he rots on the bench for another year if that's the case.

@bylindsayhjones

Chiefs also fined $250K; Andy Reid fined $75K and John Dorsey $25K for illegal contact w/ Maclin while he was still an Eagle.

Cheater. I want my reparations! We should get their 3rd round pick.

Fair enough, but the dead cap escalates dramatically after this year.

It wouldn't surprise me if the money is holding things up more so than draft picks.

kaps contract is structured on a year to year basis. as long as we cut him before april 1st of each year, we are off the hook. so he is essentially on a 1 year, $15 mil deal or whatever it is. we have something like $65 mil in cap space (and that is with kaps contract already considered). we good brah!

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Wait so did Brock sign with Houston? Can't find any confirmation? Don't care at all


EDIT: 4 YEARS $72 MILLION DOLLARS JHWIAUHFUIAHD HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA


I am just done. Wow. Brock got paid though congrats. But lmao what the fuck

 

[WesternHeretic]

On one hand, I'm REALLY fucking bummed about losing Mebane.

On the other, that frees up a lot of money for other stuff.

Losing Sweezy is pretty big too as much as I didn't like him. We REALLY need Okung back now.

I feel like we're losing a ton of people and not really bringing in anybody. Remember when everyone wanted to come play for Seattle?

Fuck let just build a new line from scratch.

 

[_woLf]

Fuck let just build a new line from scratch.

consisting entirely of 7th round/undrafted defensive linemen turned into OL

#TheTomCableWay

I hope we at least keep Okung and Lane after losing so many players already

 

[JABEE]

Andy Reid stole Jeremy Maclin from us.

Also, how does Chase Daniel have a chance to win the job when Bradford is basically playing on a franchise tag?

 

[Line_HTX]

OOOF, Chiefs got punished severely...

#Justice

 

[jbug617]

Chiefs have to forfeit a 3rd round pick this yr and 6th rd next yr for improper contact with Maclin last year.

I get how his deal works, but the point is are you going to vest his salary this year only to have him get beat out by Gabbert? It's a $15M cap hit to test the waters. Then you have to do it all over again, but to the tune of $19M the following year. Assuming he makes the roster.

 

[MechDX]

Going by tweets I'm seeing Brock was royally pissed off at the Broncos coaches and front office.

He mad.

 

[this_guy]

The Indianapolis Colts made it official, cutting former Texans Pro Bowl wide receiver Andre Johnson on Wednesday.

Maybe he can go to Atlanta and rejoin Schoob.

Plus there's the whole "the backup quarterback makes more than the starter and that will piss off the starter" thing. If Kaep isn't the starter, they will not keep him on the roster.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Believe in Elway.

 

[VeryGooster]

Surprised I haven't heard anything about Prince by now, even "interest."

 

[minx]

Tracy Porter resigns with the Bears. He allowed a passer rating of 107.2 when quarterbacks targeted his coverage.

#Bears give RT Bobby Massie a 3 year $18M deal.
NARZ's RT Bobby Massie had the 15th Worst Pass Blocking grade among Tackles (7 sacks, 6 hits, 39 hurries allowed)

Da Bears?

 

[PanicFreak]

Well, he will come to Denver next year. Not going to be a warm welcoming I don't think.

GM Rick Smith needs a nap. I don't think he has ever worked this hard.

Media generating headlines.

Bradford is your starter, Daniel is your insurance policy.

JR sweezy's contract is over 7million per year

waht the fuck is even happening right now

bucs gaf your team got swindled by his agent

 

[MetalFearSolid]

I am still laughing 3 years 45 million was the highest offer Broncos could do. Texans went 4 years 72 million.

I don't blame you at all Elway. Still laughing.

we don't have to pay him anything next year. if he is beat out by gabbo this year then yes, he's an expensive backup.... who cares? we don't need the money this year anyways and then he is cut or traded before april 1st of next year and he's off the books forever.

Very nice, the only suggestion I have is to fill the rock "blank space" up with something, whether it be another gradient or something overlaying it.

I was going to, but I was thinking empty space might be a good thing. I could try putting them mexican hot dog carts and freeways there.
