So sick of these lackluster free agent signings.

He'd make a difference for sure. But I don't know if the Titans would let him go.....
And I agree with Crush; it would bee much better if they could build with the draft.....

I don't have a list of free agents handy, but Haynesworth is a good choice. The Titans have been on a 3-game losing streak since he went out with a hamstring injury. That says a lot for the impact he has on the game...

You'd rather have players who are unproven in the NFL? Denver CAN get good free agents. They just don't want to pay through the nose to get them...

If we do pick up Haynsworth, anyone who wanted him can never criticize Denver's free agent movement ever again when he turns out to be another problem child here in Denver.
Corey Williams is at the top of my list and it's not even close.

If they want a decent DT, and not some scrub, then they'll have to go the trade route IMO. There will be zero slam dunk, quality free agent DTs available in the off season. You can bank on it.

Broncos need to forget about FA this year there just isn't a lot of good young talent worth pursuing. The quick fix offseasons just haven't been working. Broncos should start a 2 year plan right now so that we can maybe start competing by 2009. We need to draft linebacking IMO because it has been so carelessly neglected in the draft last 3-4 years. It shows on defense and it shows on special teams.

Pass on FA and resign our FA's. We are in our present shape because of lousy moves in FA.
Sean Locklear or Gibril Wilson...probably Gibril Wilson.

Briggs or Dansby. Then extend all our younsters. Marshall, Paymah, Foxy, Hamza, Dumervil, Scheffler. The new, enormous cap provides a unique opportunity to secure core guys now at a discount and then have room to play for years to come.
WABronco
11-29-2007, 03:58 PM
If I had to pick just one I'd go with Dansby. Locklear is a close second. Neither is that realistic.

Haynesworth is an impact player no doubt but he worries me as a mentor to Marcus Thomas.
My top 5 (in order):
1. Corey Williams
2. Randy Starks
3. Boss Bailey
4. Chris Coles
5. Teddy Lehman
Only Corey Williams of that bunch should get paid very much. Thats why I like the rest. They don't cost a fortune but all have potential and something to prove. We can take a shot on all five and if only two or three work out we still look good cap-wise.
My top 5 draft targets (that we might actually have a shot at):
1. James Laurinaitis - The MLB of our dreams. Probably going to wind up a few draft spots out of our reach, but if we can somehow get him, we should do it.
2. Sam Baker - Great future OT for us, he's big but also technically sound, work out great as a long term LT.
3. Frank Okam - don't take him unless its the second round. Has potential but needs to play up to it, if he did he'd be a good fit as a junk yard dog type in our system.
4. Shawn Crable - he'd be a good guy to work into the linebacker rotation as a long term sam.
5. Danny Woodhead - undersized D1-AA RB with some serious spark. He's got a ton of natural athletic ability and more than his fair share of toughness to go along with it. Could be a second day steal who'd also be an excellent kick returner for us.

corey williams, lance briggs, boss bailey, and no big name OL but a bring in a TON of them, good hard nosed lineman, they best OL will sift out and we'll have our tough hard nosed no name line back.
Out of the free Agents, Corey Williams. But the number one thing I would like to see us do in bring in 15ish OL through free agent, low round drafting, and undrafted free agents, maybe even in a trade for players of no value to us and possible value to others, ala ian gold

Unless we can get someone cheap, stay away from the overpriced big named guys.

I agree... but it's certainly fact that he's not who he was a few years ago and on the downside of his career.
Kuper has a high ceiling at this point in his career.
Faneca has a low cellar.
That's all.

Dansby. Then build the rest of the D in the draft, and pick up a lineman, too.

Dansby will resign with the Cards..they are already in talks. We will only have room for our own FAs anyways if I am correct on my numbers. Kaylore might know more about the cap budget.

Anyone buying into the Haynesworth hype must be looking for a Gerrard Warren round 2. The guy is best known over his first few years for stomping a guys face but then the contract year comes around and he's a must have FA. What do you guys REALLY expect from him next year? I'm putting my money on performance matching the rest of his non-contract years.

Injures and a suspension are why Haynesworth hasn't been putting up the #'s he has this year. He has always been a beast. All anyone ever thinks about the face thing. No one ever mentions what was being done to him the whole game leading up to that. Does it make it right? Hell no, but he's not some crazed demon out there. He's a hell of a DT. The only thing I WOULD question is his ability to stay healthy for a season.

Of course keep Stokely and I wouldn't mind any of the LBs mentioned but plus also get at least a semi decent DT.

Lackluster? John Lynch, Brandon Stokley, Javon Walker, Dre Bly, Daniel Graham.... lackluster? Our best player (Bailey) wasn't drafted.
You don't "just" build teams through the draft. If you think you do, you need to take a look at our Superbowl team and a look at the team that's likely to win this year's Superbowl.
Briggs or Dansby. Then extend all our younsters. Marshall, Paymah, Foxy, Hamza, Dumervil, Scheffler. The new, enormous cap provides a unique opportunity to secure core guys now at a discount and then have room to play for years to come.
Exactly -- and I say let Henry go. Is he out for a year or no.

I see your point Popps but, most of our best moves were trades not FA signings. I think Lynch,Stokley Graham were good moves that's it really. I think the present state of this team though we should build through draft. SB ready teams with Manning Brady Elway can land best FA's at cheaper price because of possibility of ring. This team is promising but, we would have to majorly overpay to land the biggest names we aren't SB ready yet when we are I'll join sign major FA's party. Of course its not my decision to make it's Mike's and Bowlen's.
Broncojef

We are in this shape due to years of really really bad drafts and a handfull of bad FA signings. If we had drafted correctly for those bad years we wouldn't need to rely on such question marks as Henry, Gardner, Rice etc...

I agree. Great teams makes proper use of both avenues to improve the team.
Right now, we've got a couple of great players we drafted, and a couple of great ones we signed... and then a bunch in the middle somewhere.
I just can't stand the draft-obsessed that are so blinded by the hobby of it all that they misjudge the importance of the free agent market.
Again, name me ANY SB team in the last decade and I'll fire off 5 critical FA signings off the top of my head... with maybe the exception of the Colts, who I think were probably the weakest SB team in at least 15 years.

Agreed. Let's not throw big money on someone else with character issues.
I'm on the Corey Williams bandwagon. This team has gotten better recently at stopping the run (and the record has improved) but they still have miles to travel. Fix the damn run defense.
