Well, that didn't last long.
Amobi Okoye, former Elvis Dumervil teammate at the University of Louisville, has reportedly signed a one year deal with the Chicago Bears. Instead of a reunion in Denver, he will be playing with Julius Peppers and former Broncos quarterback, Jay Cutler.
Talk about a smack in the face to Broncos fans. The Broncos had reportedly called Okoye earlier in the day to discuss a deal with Okoye, but if this signing is true, it can be assumed that those talks didn't go swimmingly.
The defensive tackle pool is starting to thin, so if the Broncos are indeed shopping for some defensive tackles right now, they sure are being passive about it. Call it patience, smart, or thrifty shopping, but if you ask me the Broncos are getting steamrolled in free agency by teams that want to spend money.
There's an old saying that "there are always more fish in the sea", but in my opinion, Okoye was a pretty talented fish. I hope the Broncos keep fishing.
If there is a silver lining, it's that Mike Klis reports the Broncos are making progress on a deal with Marcus Thomas. More on that when information arises.

In all honesty,
when are we supposed to panic Nick? The season starts in a month. We are being surpassed by 90% of the rest of the NFL so far in free agency and that’s a monumental problem when you are as bad of a team as we are and you’re relying on that help to make your – less – weak. For all those that are saying “chill out” etc.. I say well when, then, would be a good time (in your estimation) to “freak out” as they say? Personally I think we are being snubbed in free agency because of the McD debacle (among other things). I think we have tried – and failed – to land some of these free agents you see going to other teams, but I think it’s being passed off as us being frugal or whatever.
I’m really, really trying to remain optimistic, but we still haven’t addressed our DT problem and now we have wide receiver’s stopping by making visits (who is David Anderson again?) when I thought that the position was one of the more secure on the team. I am just scratching my head at some of this, and I’m sure I’m not alone. I’m not calling for anyone’s head, but I don’t think it’s “wide spread panic” to question the moves that are (or aren’t) being made thus far.

Seeing Mebane sign for $5MM per year makes me wonder if Bowlen really is short on cash to fund the signing bonuses.
That seemed like a deal we could make for a guy his age with run stopping ability. That is the one deal that really concerns me since they said Denver bowed out when the bidding got too high. That doesn’t seem too high to me.
"Well at least we picked a good year to suck" said Pat Bowlen after countersigning Von Miller's rookie contract.
This.
This is the one that puzzles me the most. Mebane’s contract was less then Cofield’s. It was a very reasonable contract.

Don't wonder too hard...
Remember the player has to want to play here too.
"as in football so in life"
"Look good, play good, play good, pay good, pay good, eat good, eat good, live good, live good, die good".........Primetime
Of course, but we could have offered $5.5MM per year and no kid is leaving $2.5MM on the table so he can stay on a 7-9 team like Seattle.
Got to spend Obi-wan and I’m not sure Bowlen has the $$$.
"Well at least we picked a good year to suck" said Pat Bowlen after countersigning Von Miller's rookie contract.
Yep...if I was a player I would not get with in 100 miles that is the shit show called Dove valley.....why would anyone want to come here...wonder why Okoye signs only a one year deal????

No way? He signed for one year?
Wow… Can’t believe we couldn’t do better than that for a guy that is younger than Orlando Franklin (seriously). Do you know for how much?
"Well at least we picked a good year to suck" said Pat Bowlen after countersigning Von Miller's rookie contract.
Nothing on money but probably not for much....Denver....its like holidaying on a Leper Colony...hahaha...no other explanation for it.

Perhaps. Perhaps we’d need to pay him $5.5MM per year or give him a bigger signing bonus. We’ll never know, but $5MM for Mebane was a good deal for Seattle and hearing Denver felt that was too rich is very disturbing. Not sure if we’ll get anyone if we won’t pay market.
"Well at least we picked a good year to suck" said Pat Bowlen after countersigning Von Miller's rookie contract.
Even if he is broke
they still need to hit the cap number, but I am so confused about how much we actually have to spend..
Maybe he saw a better situation with Seattle and gave them a hometown discount
who knows
"It's all over fat man!"
-Tom Jackson
A couple of things:
- No one wants to come here.
- ELway and Xanders are inexperienced and think they can spend conservatively and get it done.
- Dove Valley is a debacle. The way the Orton trade was screwed is making players wonder what they would be getting into.
- No player wants to come to a team with a QB controversy.
- We wont pay any real money and are stoked when we sign average players (when the best player we have signed is David Anderson? Thats like looking forward to going and getting a boil lanced off your ass).
I am not even pannicked. I am just dead set embarassed FOR them…not even by them. EFX just seems completely out of their league, a little clueless….
Anyway, got to learn not too care as much….wish there was as much passion in Dove Valley as there is here….
Oh thats right, we have a player like that……but hes only a 1st rounder so we wont start him!

so what do u do ?? take the ounce of silver? ?? c’mon man….

i find it funny how people would spend other peoples money…BUT not there own
NEVER pay overs…. you get burnt….
so we go 5-11 next year… end of the world.. no far from it…. build from the ground up…

Assuming we draft a DT in 2012. We had plenty of chances in 2011 and didn’t.
From what I’ve read, the 2012 draft is weak at DT, but good at ILB.

Nick Fairley wasn’t a 5th round draft pick last summer.

Good point. I concede.
"Well at least we picked a good year to suck" said Pat Bowlen after countersigning Von Miller's rookie contract.
I know we need to get stronger up the middle...
but (all speculation on my part) with the improved pass rush, and getting stronger at the LB and Safety positions makes me feel a whole lot better than I did at the end of last year.
Maybe I’m hallucinating but I really think Mays in at Mike for the whole year (or Irvin if he beats him out) is a marked improvement over last year, especially with going to the 4/3 defense.
The improved speed on the back end speaks for itself.
We still need a DT or two but I really think EFX has made a lot of progress on the defensive side of the ball.

"when are we supposed to panic...?"
On October 9 if we’re 1-4. To say losing this FA opportunity (or any other) dooms the season after a couple days of training camp is too soon to panic, imho.
It'd be too late by then, though.
I guess I’d just rather see us being more proactive, instead of reactive later on.
twitter: @postpunk27
I hear you, and can’t argue too hard against that. I’m just optimistic we’ll see some good stuff unfold in the next couple weeks, and I really have to think that EFX is taking a longer-term view of this – meaning 2-3 years to build a young competitive team. Look, we’ve tried other ways, and they haven’t worked. I’ll give these guys the benefit of the doubt that they’re working a deliberate strategy. It’s better than seeing them come in and flail around to grab the next Henry, Carter, or Gardener. Time will have to tell.

i mean we can still trade i guess.
Warren and Thomas are visiting. Landri visited. I guess fox can make it work with not so great DT’s and they obviously wanted Okoye, looks like he picked the bears over us. which we have to remember, we did have the 2nd worse record in the NFL. So players wont be lining up to come here unless we are dishing out cash(carolina) We’ll get our DT’s, i wanted okoye but we’ll be alright

Neither of them are rookies
Elway has shown he has good business sense and sports knowledge. Xanders is not the new kid on the block in deal making.
The Broncos are the second worst team in the league, on their third coach in four years and no playoff expectations.
Maybe, just maybe that last bit has something to do with it.

Yeah I don't think it's time for Bronco fans to panick yet.
The Chiefs had a bunch of young players who didn’t know how to win. So they signed Vets like T.Jones and M.Vrabel who are great locker room influences along with a pretty good coaching staff to teach them the difference. IMO R.Crennel made the biggest difference of all and i think he’s one of the best 3-4 DC if not the best. Crennel took players like S.Smith who really hadn’t done anything lately and got them to play their best football. Another thing to consider would be the fact that it was the 2nd year of a scheme change which does make a big difference.
The Broncos will be fine, remember Elway said this was a 3 year plan.

Time to Cut Orton!!!
His contract seems to holding us back. I know all you Orton lovers will say he gives us the best chance to go 8-8 but when in the hell did it become ok to be average? Also a little FYI we have until Aug. 4 to cut Orton before his salery counts against us this year!! If Orton wants to play chicken with us cause he is not willing to except his own value on the open market, Cut Him and let him see if he can get Kolb money!!

Would somebody be so kind to explain the waiver process to me?
If we’re picking before everyone but the Panthers, why isn’t this cat packing his bags for Denver? Is it a cap issue that we have no room to maneuver without asking players to restructure before here?
Because Okoye has four years of service, he wasn’t required to pass through waivers. And he presumably appeared on Saturday’s official Personnel Notice. Otherwise, the Bears would have been in violation of the premature contact rule for the second time since Thursday.

Like his addition would be the savior of the season. They wanted okoye. if anything he chose the bears over us. Do you blame him?
We’ll get some DT’s. Ty Warren is visiting tonight, and Marcus Thomas is visiting tomorrow(hopefully) Aubrayo Franklin is out there. Tommie Harris is out there. theres still options just as good as Okoye. Relax everyone

blame Bowlen and our GM
This is such a disgrace. Our GM. Allowed us to get in this situation with the salary cap because he had no backbone last year or more possibly. This team has no money to sign anyone worth a true starting title. The Eagles are signing some of the top players available and we can’t sign one Damn tackle. Please don’t give me excuses this is embarrassing. If Bowlen does not have the money or the salary cap skills then sell all or part of this team and get someone who is fresh and cap oriented. The Patriots seem to be signing and coaching players that no one wants and yet they make it work. Many teams seem to have the scouting and salary cap issues figured out. This shows how far behind we are not only as a team but as a front office. Why post anymore lack of signings? Same story different player name. Damn I’m so happy free agency started and football is here now let’s see when the Broncos start their free agency.

I wonder what Willis
has left in the tank. I hate to be negative, but it kinda feels like old hat again. Sure we need help in the running game, but is it going to come from a guy that might be close to used up like McGahee? There wasn’t a younger guy we could have found? Just some interesting decisions coming out of DV, in my opinion.

that it is a good move and gives us more compitition. We will cut whom ever doesn’t stand out so no loss.

there's no money yet
As of right now, the Broncos have no money to spend on free agents. They’re right at the cap. The dead money (bonuses paid to Graham, Williams and Bannan etc.) doesn’t come off the books until the CBA goes into effect Thursday (I think). If there’s anybody out there then, they can get into it. I’ll bet McGahee will make exactly what Hill would have made next season. Had they been able to trade Orton, there would have been some wiggle room.
She turned me into a newt .... I got better.
And I don't know if it's true or not..I don't have the link but the salary cap has to be met on Wednesday.
That’s what I read today but again with all the lazy assed reporting we’ve had lately I’m not sure if it’s true.

The previous League Year (2010) was an UNCAPPED year, allowing a team to move the remaining part of any Sigining/Performance Bonus from “unearned” counting against this year’s salary cap to “earned” counting against last years salary cap. This applies to any contract signed and structured 2009 and earlier. The Preemption also allows teams during the Pre-2011 League Year Period to “cut and dump dead money” from veteran contracts and roll it front to back in any number of fashions as long as the equation of the salary cap balances at the opening of League Year 2013. In this way teams are effectively able to lose all the dead money and restart the Salary Cap clock.

Seems to me
that we had a shot at getting a great (potentially) starting DT in the draft, but we decided to pick up a linebacker instead. Now who is going to keep the blockers off the LBs???
EFX: “Don’t worry, we’ll get our DTs in free agency.”
Fans: “Sounds like a great idea!”
three months later…
Fans: “Umm, what’s the deal guys?”
EFX: “Well, we uhh, ahh…hehe….can’t seem to sign anyone goshdarnit”
Fans: “Ok. So what’s the plan now?”
EFX: “Oh, there’s still guys out there we can pick up. And NEXT year, we’ll draft our DT’s of the future! You just wait and see, it will be awesome!”
In the war room of the 2012 draft…..
EFX: “Guys, check out the measurables on this WR from Chadron State!!!”
Guys i have been in Texas for few years now
i have not watched much of texans football, but listen to lot of sports talk radio and the prevailing opinion is that Okoye does not pass muster

at the very least it might calm a few nerves . With no signings and no communication it is looking pretty bad .
