Broncos Announce Several Transactions

It’s just wierd since everyone except him has signed. I can’t help but wonder if it’s a performance issue. Is Denver thinking he could be cut if he doesn’t beat out Hoch or something?

But I do know that

I don’t know much about the order of draft signings and all that so I’m sure it’s nothing, but it still seems odd to me.

The slotting issue came up again recently regarding the “logjam” that started last year with Crabtree’s holdout. Logjam is a somewhat poor metaphor (but I like it) since the situation is analogous to the opposite of a logjam. Not having an already signed player to use to slot your salary creates uncertainty over price. Agents will then wait for other signings before they proceed with negotiations.

BTW — 6th round picks such as Eric Olsen are relatively confined in what they can ask for, although a small difference between offered price and asked price can still delay reaching an agreement. The fact that Olsen hasn’t signed yet is not an issue given the nature of his bargaining position. No 6th rounder holds out.

Apparently, he likes to lift his head for a minute and make sure that everyone is right before he touches the ball. He considers himself responsible, and you’ve got to like that.

All the young guys were quoted as saying that they planned to learn all positions to they’d always know what was happening. I like these guys. Great attitudes.

There is 83 players on the team and 79 under contract. Therefore there is 1 opening left on the roster.

Josh McDaniels. “MF Walter FOotball pissed me off. I’m outie.”

I would expect a Stokley cut much later in the process. Arnett, Honeycutt, Williams and Lyons are all more likely to go before Stokes.

What I find interesting is the Baston cut. Not sure what kind of DL depth they expect to take into the season, but 7 is standard on the 53, and we only have 9 right now, which makes it sound like McX are already pretty confident in their DL groupings. They are overstocked at LB, which indicates uncertainty, and understocked at DB, to again indicate a fair amount of confidence…

Looking at the roster I don’t see any indications of a surprise cut, it is just a feeling I have. Which is what makes it a surprise, I guess. :)

but I would be worried if we did!

be fine with substituting Atkins for Alexander in my comment, whilst pointing out that Atkins has been in the playbook longer, but Alexander has gotten more recent kudos. I think Kirlew is still ahead of the others, however, despite not headlining recently. I would put his stock in the “holding” category, with Alexander in the “rising”.

I dont no, I’ve never seen a 3rd rounder contract that big

so if the 2.5 is garunteed, expect that money to go up. I know there’s no cap this year, but still we arent exactly the wealthiest franchise, so the less money we spend on rookies the better

Me and my wife have made about $750,000 over 20 years.

I would not weaken the line with Harris at LT, Olsen at LG, Walton, Kuper, and Beadles at RT.
TOO many changes.
BTW, Clady will be ready before TC is over. Trust in fate.
