Good Morning Broncos Country! I hope the Broncos saved enough in their entertainment budget because they are passing free dinners out left and right to prospective free agents. In years past, a visit usually meant a contract. Last season, Josh McDaniels closed the deal at least 90% of the time. It's not the case this year, with several players - Dwan Edwards and Rex Hadnot to name a couple - having come and gone without reaching an agreement. The reason? The infamous uncapped season. No one really knew what to expect. Once money started raining down on free agents on Friday, many guys looked to get a case of cold feet when it came to signing quick deals. Who could blame them? Signings all over the NFL have ground to a halt. Teams, including the Broncos, will need to re-evaluate their process of making offers. That likely will start today with Jamal Williams and Jarvis Green in town. Now that the Broncos, and the players, have an idea of what is happening in the market, expect to see Denver much more aggressive in closing the deal.
