What the Broncos have already made this offseason

We can’t expect to much from a good portion of the others listed. They were either hurt or on waivers. We’ll see in camp.

I’m guessing it was a typo, but we don’t want anyone to get there hopes up too soon. :)

AND the new cap guy. Awesome moves by the FO. Del Rio will be much improved now that he can focus on just the D. I am excited.

The 2011 free agency was a frienzy with the time constraints available, and the Broncos made one move that was kind of a head scratcher in trading WR Jabar Gaffney for DE Jeremy Jarmon. Jarmon a 2009 3rd rd supplemental draft pick of the Washington Redskins and some said it was a steal getting the former Kentucky Wildcat who once shared the teams defensive most valuable player award with LB Wesley Woodyard. For whatever reason the 23 year old Jarmon didn’t beat out former first rd #8 selection of the Jacksonville Jaguars or veteran Jason Hunter. He was eventually released at final cuts on September 3, 2011. The front office called it a “tough cut,” noting that Jarmon’s attempted switch to defensive tackle likely hurt his development. Jarmon has been a LDE for most of his career, but with his speed 4.78 ~ 40 with a 1.62 ~ 10 yard split, a 286lbs DE could make the switch to undertackle. In the short time of the offseason the experiment failed. Now the Broncos have re-signed him to a futures contract and have the whole off season to make the intitial efforts come true. For what ever it’s worth, Jarmon is still a young man of 24 with talents to play defense and at least head coach John Fox sees something in this kid others haven’t. We’ll see how all that works out…

During and leading up to the 2011 Senior Bowl Beal who was touted as a sure 2nd early 3rd round pick was missing for the most part and tried to reason the fact that he had 11 sacks during his senior year…

Jeremy Beal had no answer for Gabe Carimi in their one-on-one matchup. Several scouts were down on Beal going into the Senior Bowl, and the Oklahoma pass-rusher is not off to a good start.

Senior Jeremy Beal had a great 2008 making 61 tackles with 8.5 sacks after dominating in a breakout performance in the 2007 Big 12 Championship, and then he took his game to another lever last season with 70 tackles, 11 sacks, and 19 tackles for loss to earn all-star honors and a finalist spot for the Hendricks Award. At 6-3 and 261 pounds he has tremendous size for an end and the quickness to match, and now he has the potential to blow up as a national star and be in the hunt for all the big defensive lineman awards. Too quick for most tackles, he has a great burst around the end to go along with the size and toughness to hold up against the run.

After having a disappointing Senior Bowl week some had doubts about Beal’s overall physicality and when the Combines came and Beal ran a 5.16 ~ 40 yard many scouts and teams erased him from their draft boards all together. The Denver Broncos selected him with the 247th pick in the 7th rd and it was a good choice imo.

What Jeremy does bring is a 33" arm length and a wingspan wider than Dumervil’s. Also Beal has huge hands (11 1/4") that can give him leverage going up against blockers. For what ever the reason why he struggled during that very important time in a young athlete’s life, Beal does have the necessary stuff to develop into a dominate pass rusher in the NFL. Now, all he has to do is put it all together into one package…

Here is an indepth look into Mohamed’s college/high school career and personal life.

Mike didn’t see much positional playing time this saeson behind DJ Williams, Wesley Woodyard, Joe Mays and Von Miller, and it’s just about what one would expect from a 189th pick of the 6th rd especially when there is not offseason to really evaluate the talent he brings. Mohamed was one of the first one’s to speak up about his future with the Broncos and they NFL and made it very plain he know’s what he has to do to get on the field…When interviewed by Denver Broncos’ Max Henson’s “Mohamed Looks For More” article, he said that when he arrived to the NFL it was moving at 1000 mph and I could believe that tranistioniing from college…

Just looking at Mohamed you could tell right away that there is upper body strength that is lacking and he know’s that too and has said that he intends to make the best out this offseason…

Linebackers Coach Richard Smith said he is impressed with Mohamed’s ability to play all three linebacker positions in the 4-3 defense, and he’s looking forward to watching his development.

“He’s a young kid who’s been working to get bigger and stronger — he’s done a nice job in that area and will continue to do that,” Smith said. “So we’ll see how he looks next year.”

If they realize Franklin can be good at Tackle but Pro Bowler at Guard, then we should slide him to the interior spot and decide if Harris is the answer or we should go after a new RT.


I dont know everything going on in bronco camp, but if he can be HOF guard, then its time to move him inside. Drafting OL early is NEVER a wasted draft pick. A better line on offense or defense makes everyone on the field better.

Being a diehard Gators fan, I can tell you that there was a time when Cornelius Ingram played for the Gators that I thought he may be the most impactful player on the team and one of the best TEs to ever play at Florida. He was a obvious mismatch even in his freshman and somphmore years, he was physically a freak with his combo of size and speed and just pure ability, and even though hes listed a 6’4 he looks so much more physically imposing compared to the other players, just all muscle and rock solid. The way Jermaine Gresham played at Oklahoma was similar to how Ingram could dominate his coverage. When he ran he seemed so much physically stronger and faster than the guys around him and he could catch everything. After he had a devestating knee injury i never saw him play at Florida again, but scouts still thought so highly of him I think he still may have gone in the 1st round after his injury.. I guess he went to Philly and didnt do much, I dont know how much his injury has hampered him. But hes still only 26 and if he can bounce back to the physical force he was in college, boy he could be nasty!

Im from Jacksonville so I can tell you that the Jaguars were more than happy to get a replacement as a head coach.. But one thing is for sure ever since Del Rio has been the Jags H.C. the Jags defense has rarely lacked. Although by reverting most of the teams resources to defenses players he probably was a big part of the offense being neglected, but I think as a D.C. he is a great hire, he is a firey guy who will likely be able to relate to the players given that he had a pretty good career as a Line Backer in the NFL for the Vikings. Hes had problems getting along with some of the star players on the teams in years past, but I think this was more of a Head Coaching issue he just wasnt ready for. As a D.C. I think he may be the best coordinator hire of the year… I give a thumbs up
