The reason Paton and Joseph haven't been fired is 100% so that Sean Payton has someone to scapegoat next season when we suck again. They are extra layers of insulation between Payton and accountability.The Hackett and Wilson debacles demonstrate that Accountability died along with Pat Bowlen.
2 first round picks, 2 second round picks & now the (by far) biggest dead cap charge in NFL history. A head coach hire who was obviously in over his head, starting with the first game.
How have heads (looking at YOU, George Paton) not rolled?????????
Broncos paid him $85 mill the past 2 seasons and only took $39 mill in cap charges. Notwithstanding the money due in 2024.
I think he's talking about Russell Wilson?
Today, they announced they are cutting him. No one's terribly surprised, I suppose. But it's official now. Or will be next week.
$85M in dead cap. Damn.
Allan Walsh: “Or the whole NHL cap, shame on Gary Bettman.”Broncos paid him $85 mill the past 2 seasons and only took $39 mill in cap charges. Notwithstanding the money due in 2024.
TB and LAR made the PO with over $70 mill in dead cap this past season. Don't expect Denver to do that given the harder AFC, but doesn't prevent you from being competitive. Just have to be smart with the contracts moving forward.
Every player is available, Fant and Harris are FAs too.Hey Drew Lock is a UFA, you can get a piece of the trade back. Even Steven’s

I love your scorched earth theory. Problem is I don't think it's true. Payton probably told them in the interview of the chance we'd be here still not in the playoffs so we might get rid of Russ. While no one wanted to lose this year I'm sure all this was planned for if it happened as it did.The reason Paton and Joseph haven't been fired is 100% so that Sean Payton has someone to scapegoat next season when we suck again.

It doesn't matter at all way Payton says. His word is worth even less than a politician's. He'd sell out his own mother with a smile on his face to save his own skin.I love your scorched earth theory. Problem is I don't think it's true.

The cap just went up like $30M dollars - Denver will be hurting but it’s not going to destroy everything. I do think they should trade Simmons and one of the WRs though. Simmons is awesome but he deserves a shot somewhere else while we take our lumps the next 2-3 years.TB and LAR made the PO with over $70 mill in dead cap this past season.

Yes, but it went up $30M for everyone.The cap just went up like $30M dollars - Denver will be hurting but it’s not going to destroy everything.

Oh, there’ll be a team willing to sign him. Especially if (since he’s already getting paid $30M next season) he takes a nice $5M contract to start for someone.Well I guess Russ is officially over and not a moment too soon. I've literally never hated a professional athlete until Russ. He's nothing more than used car salesman. How about you work on playing the sport you get paid infinitely too much to play, instead of selling corny pickup lines.
I can't imagine a team dumb enough to pick him up. He will burn that franchise into the ground just like he did here. Well I guess I'd be ok with him going to New England or Pittsburgh it'd be fun watching them implode.
That being said they better be going all in on a draft pick, find the guy you like go get him and start from there. No more of this average backup, desperate old guy crap. Pick a young guy and give him the reins and build from there.
I'd be surprised if Wilson takes more than the vet minimum (1.2m?) from anybody... he's gonna be petty as shit about that.Oh, there’ll be a team willing to sign him. Especially if (since he’s already getting paid $30M next season) he takes a nice $5M contract to start for someone.
An other-than-QB solid team could do very well with a legit starting QB with a $5M cap hit. As negative as Wilson was with Denver, he is still a legitimate starting NFL QB, albeit a quickly declining one.
Yes, but it went up $30M for everyone.
Denver might not have to shed as many players, true. But they're going to miss out on a really good FA class this year, as many other teams will be able to improve.
He started out really well on the glass but his low IQ and lack of hands always gets exposed sooner or later.Zeke is so bad...
