Broncos sign S. Alexander (TE) - The Orange Mane

HEAV · 03-23-2005, 10:05 AM

Just heard it on ESPN radio! The plan continues!

bpc · 03-23-2005, 10:07 AM

Well... with us liking to run TWO TE sets, I think this is a good pickup. Carswell is going to be an LT next year or a car salesman. He won't be back at TE. That would leave us basically empty on depth.

Now we have Putz, Alexander who could be a dangerous 2nd TE in our offense, Hape, and Leach.

I think that's a pretty good pickup for you guys. He's a real solid tight end.

Rascal · 03-23-2005, 10:10 AM

as long as it's only for the league min nothing wrong with this I guess.

Just waiting for those Oklahoma fans to come in talking him up.

There goes that kiss of death again...

Hotrod · 03-23-2005, 10:14 AM

Oh well atleast it was not another LB or Punter. Does anyone else on the team long snap except leach

DBroncos4life · 03-23-2005, 10:14 AM

kick ass Weaver all over again! j/k

Garcia Bronco · 03-23-2005, 10:23 AM

Alexander is not a solid Tight End...he's oft injured...ergo unreliable. He won't make the 53 man roster. Well...I should say...he wouldn't make it in a "normal" year.

FADERPROOF · 03-23-2005, 10:25 AM

The fireworks show continues!

long beach bronco · 03-23-2005, 10:36 AM

What's his stats and how did he do last season, anyone know?

Traveler · 03-23-2005, 10:40 AM

Contract is for 3 yrs, $4.2 mil, and $ 1 mil signing bonus. Damn!

You are kidding?

The guy is on his last legs...WTF are we doing using that much money on a backup TE when our D-line still sucks.

Hotrod · 03-23-2005, 10:43 AM

Ah the plan is shaping up nicely. I guess this is the move that convinced Plummer to restructure rofl

ro_50 · 03-23-2005, 10:45 AM

I always thought we were going after him in case they couldnt retain Putz, and now we sign him to 3 yrs and $4.2 million, sounds like another Jeb Weaver to me. I know he caught 41 passes (or something like that last season), but isnt that a lot of money for a number 2 TE?

ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports the addition of TE Stephen Alexander by the Denver Broncos could eventually lead to the team trading TE Jeb Putzier.

Just be happy Jake restructured so we can fit this antiprobowl in under the cap.

ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports the Denver Broncos have agreed to terms with free agent TE Stephen Alexander (Lions) on a three-year deal. He will receive a $4.2 million deal that includes bonuses of $1 million.

Oops! Double post.

Trading Putz, geez, now wouldnt that be something after they said he's an important part of the team's future.

Bob's your Information Minister · 03-23-2005, 10:48 AM

Looking at his stats he's not a downfield threat at all. I would think Denver needs to keep Putz AND this guy. Just another good player to play down in the redzone.

Well Pas is a bonified moron so I wouldn't believe him if he said the world was round.

DBroncos4life · 03-23-2005, 11:05 AM

Only 15 of his 41 catches came on third down. His one td came on third down as well. He isnt horrible but then again neither was Weaver.

Agreed! And he's fat too!

But someone one is definitely out the picture. And it doesn't make sense to trade the younger player for someone on the downside of his career.

Oops! Gotta check myself again.
