Free Agency Night Number two OPEN THREAD

Hey all, I just thought this was such a great success last night, we could all benefit by keeping each other posted, interacting, and doing it again.
The Broncos brought in J.J. Arrington, Nathan Jones, and Justin Bannan today. It seems like Jones and Arrington will make an impact in a more limited role, but Bannan is fully expected to be our starting nose tackle.
It was also reported that on the other side of the line, we brought in Tony Pashos and Rex Hadnot for visits. Reports were that Hadnot was close to a deal with the Broncos, but that nothing was imminent. Seems like the dude should take the deal to be our starting center...
Pashos would likely have been used in a much more limited role, and there were reports he would test the free agent waters some more with Washington. Such a large man likely would not be a great fit in the zone blocking scheme Big Mike is likely to employ out east, but Pashos has his reasons (cold, hard cash).
The Broncos are also said to be interested in (and one of two finalists for) former Patriots DL Jarvis Green and former Ravens DL Dwan Edwards. Both would be very nice additions.
Let the open thread begin!

Bigger. Better?
I like the addition of Bannan. Denver’s D needs to find a way to stop the run. But with the high altitude, I wonder if bigger is going to be better. At least Bannan played in Colorado prior to signing with the Broncos. He knows what he’s in for.
I agree troy
I’ve heard that Bannan is a very underrated player. Even Greg Rosenthall over at PFT thought it was a nice, cap friendly add. Mike Lombardi called it his value pick of the day on NFLN. McX is a smart machine

Sayre, You're the Draft Guy
If Seattle takes BMarsh and if we get the 6th pick – do we keep it or do we trade it away? If we keep it, does Xanders, Kidd, and McD take a QB?
Depends
The 1st round I’m digging if we get 6 is McClain and Dez Bryant. I could easily see them taking Bradford if St. Louis foolishly passes on him. Last word was St. Louis wanted McCoy, but who knows. They are stupid.
Not that McCoy’s not good…I would lean towards McClain, Bradford almost for sure if he falls, or trade down.

If we were going to draft a QB,
why haven’t we released Simms? I’d like to see all our quarterbacks with another year in the system. Including Simms.

I asked John the same question yesterday
just because we dont have to yet. Options options options is what he stressed me ;). They can release him anytime
Bleeding Orange & Blue in The Netherlands
Safety
I would say we haven’t dropped Simms just in case the option for a better QB doesn’t show itself. There’s no guarantee that we would pick up another pick, and I would guess that there are other priorities over QB if we don’t get another pick. Therefore, I believe it is probably the safe/smart move to keep Simms until we don’t need him.
Not usually
I was involved with a few cases where that wasn’t true, but with athletes, failure to acclimatize is relatively rare

What up with the Nathan Jones pick up?
I thought we addressed our secondary depth in last years draft and free agency.
I love it
With Ty Law out, we had a void at CB. Tony Carter will compete in camp with Barrett, in all likelihood, for the final DB spot. Jones can play CB and S, and he is also a valuable STer too.

With all of our starters over 30...
…we face a ot of retirements or skill downturns over the next two to three years. We’ll need a DB or two every year for the next two to three years to keep up. (We failed to stagger ages in the past, and are paying for it now).
Plus, not every new guy will work out, so we can’t really bring in guys at the rate we expect to lose them. We need to build a pool now. The SAFs last year (plus Smith) helped, but we also plugged in some vets to keep us afloat.
Jones isn’t spectacular, but he’s solid and dependable. He’ll buy us some time during the DBs transition until we can bring up a young class of talent. I think it was a good move.

That will be the Oline but someone else can still come in and create competition. I’d like to see Kuper as primary backup to both Gaurds and Tackles.

I love that idea, Osgood is a beast for sure. If we lose Marshall, I think he can replace him as our big target receiver, just 80% as good.
Just thought that I'd chime in
Osgood is a great special teams player (NOT a returner, though) but he’s not a WR. Big or not, he doesn’t have the hands. I think that he had all of 1 catch last year, and that was emergency duty. Good player, but not what people think that he is.

Two unnamed teams interested in TO
How’s about this…Broncos sign TO, trade Marshall, draft Dez. talk about drama!
A vision without a plan is just a dream. A plan without a vision is drudgery. But a vision with a plan can change the world.
No TO
I’m pretty sure TO would not fit well in McD’s locker room. Bryant Dez sets off my spidey-senses. What went down with him and Deion Sanders?
NO NO TO!
I liked the Loyd re-signing. I think he still has some deep threat ability.

My overall take.
No spectacular pick ups, but all of them solid. No bad moves.
1) Arrington RB – a receiving RB, he is best used in screens and STs returns. Doesn’t solve our short yardage issues, could be a health risk. If he stays healthy, I think he does well for us spelling either of our starters. If he can pick up his pass blocking skills, he could get much more time. (C+)
2) Bannon DE – I expect Bannon to play at LDE (though he is versatile). Solid run stopper, and can take up space to assist the LBs. (B)
3) Jones CB – Not a ball hawker, so he won’t excite fans with INTs. However, he’ll keep plays in front of him, and make solid tackles. Makes very few mistakes. Dependable. Buys the Broncos time to build up a pool of young talent at the DB positions. (B)

I agree with all your grades
though I’d almost be inclined to either grade Arrington slightly higher, or give that one an incomplete. I’m assuming he’s healthy now, and if he is he may be a steal. But we want to see how he looks first. I like the other guys a lot.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants country, and damned proud of it.
I think our OL determines how we well we address
our short yardage issue. IMO, Moreno can excel here if we improve the interior of our line…
Committing random acts of Brandon since 2006...
First reports are that the Broncos are planing to start Bannan at NT
Don't say rebuild - say reload...
I'm not sure how that can be the case before training camp...
I’m sure he’ll get first crack, but this team strikes me as an “earn it, win it” type of team.
Committing random acts of Brandon since 2006...
I think most people see him at NT.
Unless other changes come (draft and FA, both of which are likely), right now I would see him at LDE. He’s a natural run stopper, and McBean is more a keeper than Peterson. Bannan is also able to play NT and DE indifferently. Of our three current DLmen, I think Fields and McBean are safest.
I wouldn’t bet the house on it. It just looks that way to me so far. (I’m still proud of out-smarting the MSM on other pre-season moves, such as the move of DJ from ROLB to RILB).

I was wondering
If part of this move for Bannan won’t also allow us to ship fields off to Miami for a pick. Otherwise I think you’re right about him playing LDE.
Scheffler update
An update from his agent’s point of view, on KDVR. Is it just me or does his agent, yep, Bus Cook, sound like a total whiner here?
“It is what it is. I am not still sure whether they want Tony or not. Obviously they don’t value him the way they value their other guys. Elvis Dumervil, Kyle Orton and Brandon Marshall were all drafted lower than my client, but tendered at a higher level,” said Cook.
Maybe it’s because, I don’t know, Dumervil, Orton and Marshall have all been far more productive starters? Who cares where he was drafted? Should the Broncos have paid Marcus Nash more too?

so what are the estimated figures???

Bus is a D Bag
Tendering scheffler with a lower pick only helps his client attract interest from other teams. Bus should quit his job as an agent and take up tv journalism. Spin doctor at work, and no I am not refering to the 90s grundge band. Actually, it’s not even a good strategy, Bus should be singing the Broncos praises to make other teams worried we are working to re-sign scheffler. Like I said, what a d bag.

marshall trade possibilities
Why not get our 14 back from Seattle and a third or fourth rounder instead of the 6th pick? It will be cheaper in the long run and could provide more flexibility to trade down if necessary.
by FtCoNative on Mar 5, 2010 8:59 PM MST via mobile reply actions
That's more likely
though they don’t have a third this year, so a future pick or a fourth and fifth seem more likely. Maybe a player since it seems McD would want a proven player in exchange as well as a high draft pick.

thats exactly why they should give us their 6
Keep their 4th and it will cost them less. PLus they could be walking away with MArshall and a solid player at 14.

looked like he had a pretty decent season too.
3rd leading tackler on the Phins this season
By the way
I don’t get all the hate being laid on Alphonso Smith. He was drafted high—not his fault by the way—and he was hobbled fairly early in the season with an injury. Before that I thought he looked pretty good playing nickel. I say give him a chance. My guess is that the CB signing today had less to do with Smith and more to do with Champ entering the last year of his contract and Goodman being over 30.

Yes
This is a fantastic point. Jones was not brought in to take Smith’s job…This year. He was brought in for depth as well as insurance if Champ is not retained next year.

I thought if we lost Marshall, we could replace him with Boldin. Not to happen. And Ravens gave very little for Boldin, too: #3+#4-#5.

I said this drunkenly
About 2 months ago.
Its going to happen. Drunken logic is NEVER wrong.
Why does Madden suck at ranking the Broncos so much?
Owens is DONE
The guy cant catch a cold anymore.
Have you seen how many drops he’s had the past 2 years in DAL and BUF?
FootballOutsiders did an essay, I think in one of their Prospectus’ on signs a WR is just about finished. A big increase in drops is the #1 indicator. 30-something WRs will be scooting along at 1000yard seasons, have a year with a big number of drops, and fall off the cliff from there on out. The sample included C.Carter, J. Rice, and even our very own Rod Smith.
We shouldn’t touch TO with a 10-foot pole.
Moss did the same thing
In Oakland.
And then BOOM.
Why does Madden suck at ranking the Broncos so much?
Actually he didn't....
I could be wrong, but I don’t think that is true. He never had the big increase in drops from his previous rate.
Yes, he had lowered production overall, but that isn’t the indicator… it is very partricularly about drop-rate. And in any case, Randy Moss at the time was in his late 20s, not 30s. The indicator is about age decline, so its not surprising that the younger player still has multiple years left. TO is a dinasaur at this point.
I get the feeling some player don't want to compete for a job.
When Mcdaniels tells them that every position will be a competative, the look for an easier way/job. I think that turned Cutler off also, but its the right way to do things.

thats b/c they used him to much in the begining of the season,
jets shouldn’t have used so much of those 31 year old legs so soon. He’s too expensive for us but he would be pretty good as our inside the 10 yard line goal back. Hope KM gets in better shape, he sure was huffin n’ puffin alot.
So, everyone seems pumped about Hadnot. Can anyone tell me more about this guy? I assume he’s bigger than Wiegman, and still pretty young?

I'm not understanding the Marshal situation
Reading Bill Williamson he says he’d be shocked if Seattle gave us the 6th pick….why is that? If they sign him to an offer sheet we get it anyway. He says Seattle would try to work out a trade with the Broncos. Why would the Broncos accept anything less than that pick?
we wouldnt
we would except more than that pick, i.e. the 14th plus something
"Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that."

Yes, Bill is off base
The Broncos will not likely accept less than that pick if the Hawks don’t want to part with it. Pay up or shut up!

A 2nd and a 4th?
You figure it this way: IF Seattle wants to sign Marshall, they HAVE to surrender the 6th overall pick unless Denver agrees to a trade. Would you trade the 6th pick for the 40th and 104th? Never. Never ever.

Because real world trades...
…almost never reflect real world value. Because Denver apparently made him an insane offer and he turned it down. Because Denver has made nice an all in public, but they realize that bringing back a guy they had to suspend twice in one season might be viewed as a little hypocritical in the locker room, where team first and all that is stressed.
I’m not saying necessarily agree with it, but I don’t think the idea that Denver simply wants to cut ties is given enough weight around here.

What's the oint of placing a tender on somebody
if people call you and try to get you to give it up for less…if we wanted a second we would have placed a second on him
It can be a way to start the bidding process.
The tender says we should get a 1st rounder, but it seems to me that we as fans (myself included) over-inflate the trade value of players when it comes to draft picks. Is Marshall a great WR? Sure. On the other hand, he has a knack for getting in trouble (and not just legal – remember his fight with the TV and the torn tendon?), and is a problem in the locker room and on the field (the glove incident nearly cost us a TD). While nobody should blame Marshall for what some thug did to Darrent, it is worth noting that Marshall made bad decisions even on that night. In the end, I really admire Marshall as a receiver; as an overall player with the big picture I wouldn’t give up a first round pick for him.
I think the Broncos made a shrewd move by starting the bidding at a first round offer. Remember, this is a business and the team will get what they can. If they get less, it won’t be for lack of trying.

I don't know that how much money you make is a big deal....
Players know that there are other players who make more money. A guy who makes $20k/year looks at a guy making 50k and thinks he has it made. I don’t know if you’d find many people making $50k that aren’t looking to increase their income.
To me it’s the same thing but on a larger scale. We can look at someone making $3mil and say they’ve got it made, and that that’s so much money that there’s no difference between $3mil and $5mil. Well, the difference in my mind is $2million dollars a year. Whether they’re making millions or not, people see that as $2 million dollars a year.
I understand the frustration of guys making tons of money complaining about money, but at the same time I’d be looking to maximize my salary as well.

And two more to add to our second rounder.. Demarius Thomas, Pouncey and Spikes..
I can dream can’t I?
You're right, gnarly, and that's one more thing that comes into it for me
Again – I wish that I had any info on Baker, PDX and/or Powell. The development or lack of it by any or all of the three would have a huge effect on who we’d expect to look at in the draft or later in FA
Don't say rebuild - say reload...
I have a feeling its going to be a quiet night...
I’m out fellas. Baby will be waking up in less than 5 hours – if i am lucky. ;-)
Verbose in style, dispersion of thought, procrastination in life.

We're gunna have to fill that void though,
good point Sayre, while Orton can be accurate, ALOT of his balls were way off the mark that Marshall had to adjust for with those massive strong hands. ( he had the dropsies too, I know). But Orton to me benifited more from Marshall then the other way around. Big whole to fill.

Good opening day for the Broncos- Justin Bannan, Nathan Jones. But the best news is that teams are very interested in Brandon Marshall.
I can’t wait to hear what teams are very interested and what that means.
Anybody here that wants to catch me up? What’s happening right now? Anybody meeting with the Broncos?
Good luck with the Redskins Mr. Mike! I'll be watching and cheering for a non-Bronco team for the first time in my life. Well, except when they play the Broncos!
everything you probably expected
Supposedly Rex Hadnot is holed up in Denver trying to sign. I expect Marshall to be gone within the next week or so if not any earlier.

Thanks!
Anybody else looking at our OC (rex)? or does it sound like a lock?

Everyone is debating on which 1st rounder Seattle has to give up for BMarsh
Peppers got a MONSTER contract for 6 years and $91.5 effing MILLION. $42M of this is guaranteed.

From Klis: DP
The Broncos did offer Marshall a multiyear contract last summer worth approximately $9.5 million a season, according to two NFL sources.
Marshall rejected the proposal because the contract structure had relatively little money upfront, and also because the receiver preferred to play elsewhere.
Seattle may be where.
