Broncos Sign Welker (2y/12m), Vasquez (4y/23.5m), DRC (5m), Knighton, & Bradley

The Rich get Richer. To early to call Broncos AFC Champ favorites for 2013?

New England is adding pieces at the same rate somehow.. As always no one will know anything until after the draft and even then no one will know anything.

 

[Goober]

Broncos just signed DRC, to a one year deal. Is he still good? I just remember the Cardinals traded him for Kevin Kolb. LOLOL

Either way John Elway is the man.

 

[Youk]

Denver making some big moves here. With the Ravens dropping down a bit, this bumps the Broncos up to the top of the AFC. :stanley:

 

[Glenbino]

Love love love the DRC and Knighton signings. They should contribute for a long time and with Bailey likely to leave it's good to have a potential replacement in house.

We've got a nice little stable of corners now.

 

[ram29jackson]

another white receiver for Manning to make look good :shifty:

 

[TheImmortalGoud]

DRC is for $5m.

Is one year a long time because that's how long they signed DRC for.

Well we didn't know the terms yet when I made that post. :dd:

If he comes in and performs he'll get extended. Champ will likely retire next season which will free up enough cap room to bring him back at a #1 CBs salary if he plays up to it.

I kinda hope this means a move to FS for Bailey. Rahim Moore and Quinton Carter are decent in the run game but both have been totally inconsistent in coverage the last two years. I think DRC/Harris/Carter/Bolden is a decent enough foursome, especially with Bailey behind them.

Broncos cut Dumervil

 

[JimLeavy59]

Fax machines?

 

[TheImmortalGoud]

Dumervil agreed to cut $4m off of his $12m salary, but Dumervil was 7 minutes late to sign the contract and the deadline passed.

 

[Glenbino]

Its his own fault and I doubt anyone else is going to be throwing $8 mil per at a declining undersized pass rusher.

Denver can get Freeney to do the same things for a lot cheaper I'd bet.

 

[JimLeavy59]

This could be a blessing in disguise.

 

[f16harm]

Chance Dumervil made the fax late on purpose?


sidenote: agree about fax machine. WTF, it's 2013. Maybe there is a security reason or some old school anal retentive protocol for it? I remember on Being: Liverpool, they had a real fax machine still as well for EPL contracts. One of the management staff was literally standing by it waiting for Joe Allen's paperwork from Swansea to come through before they could do anything.

 

[killgod]

I bet he did do it on purpose to try and weasel into the owed money.

In the end, the Broncos still are gonna take a 5M hit for this. :yao:
