Edit: I suppose I'm not that surprised MIN is prepared to let Keenum walk in FA. I don't think anyone expected much from him at all last season, considering he was really just a third string Qb. That being said, he really did over-achieve in a big way for the Vikings last season though, and he actually looked pretty impressive during their regular season stretch run.
Ultimately though, I knew he'd go back to looking like a 3rd string Qb in the playoffs against our defense. He's also 30 years old too. Somebody's gonna give him a starting gig with a decent payday though. Could it be the Broncos? IDK, but I'm pretty sure this means MIN will be the frontrunner to land Cousins.

Anyone looking for an expensive, 28 year old, former 1st round stud who plays both DT & DE? This journalist thinks he might be a good fit for the Packers. What says you packdog or Miss Lacy? You all want him there?

Allen Robinson is now an interesting case. Will he stay, or will he go? Jags first expected to use franchise tag on him, but not so sure about that now.

Honestly think the Broncos have learned their lesson, floundering around with that BS the past 2 years. They totally squandered two potential Super Bowl opportunities with the (arguably) best defense in the league in.... their.... prime. I think Elway has learned his lesson. Frankly, after he went after Peyton Manning, who took them to the promised land, I'm shocked at the turn of events the past 2 years. So I don't see the Broncos even remotely entertaining the thought of Case Keenum. It's Cousins or bust. They have the 5th pick, so this combine will help further decide who is more NFL ready after Sam Darnold. Allen Robinson is now an interesting case. Will he stay, or will he go? Jags first expected to use franchise tag on him, but not so sure about that now. Blake Bortles finally had a decent year, with no help from Robinson. If all franchise tags are created equal, in terms of $$$, I doubt he's worth it. I really don't know anything about it. I honestly think he's a tier 2 at best, when healthy.

They have the 5th pick, so this combine will help further decide who is more NFL ready after Sam Darnold. Yeah, but everyone and their mother already knew that Brock Osweiler was complete garbage before they even handed him the starting gig, the FIRST time around. They wasted a 2nd round pick on him to. Why they brought him back and entertained the possibility of him being the starter there for a SECOND time around is just beyond me... oh wait, yeah that's right...because they were already up shit's creek without a paddle in Trevor Siemian, who was a 7th round draft pick for a reason. Then they go and blow another high draft pick(2nd) on Paxton Lynch, who doesn't look any better than the other two losers, so I'm not sure what in the hell Denver's been thinking over there. It's especially surprising since John freaking Elway is the general manager and executive vice president of football operations there. Being one of the best Qb's in league history, you'd think he might have a better eye for Qb talent. That's clearly not the case... Speaking of Case, Keenum would be a massive upgrade COMPARED TO all three of those other bums. Keenum is good enough to have a decent regular season and keep a team in playoff contention. Problem with Case is though, when/if he get's to the playoffs, he'll get exposed against better defenses and look more like a third string Qb. If I were a Broncos fan, I would hope they go after Keenum, should they miss out on Cousins. Especially after having to endure the terrible Qb play for years now, ever since Peyton's been gone. Even if they use their 5th overall pick on a Qb, he's still going to be a rookie that probably needs a few years of experience to make them playoff contenders, no? If they miss out on Cousins, a player like Keenum or Foles could be the perfect stop-gap to keep them in contention if they draft a Qb this season. Keep in mind, they also don't have a good history on drafting Qb's either. I'd be super thrilled to give you all Nick Foles for your 5th pick too.

Yes, most of the emboldened is why I said I was frankly shocked. It's Elway. And today I see him on the podium at the Combine, and hearing him say he's got a lot more mistakes in him, or something like that. lol No, we don't need a thus-far (5 years) career back-up. He's alright, but he had Diggs, Theilen, and a bonafide TE Rudolph (which Broncos do not). If you'll notice I did say they need an NFL ready QB. I would rather see that get a undrafted 6th season guy who actually went to the Combine. Vikings DEF took him a long way. Bottom line for me... low to medium floor, very low ceiling.

Bennett, 32, had 8.5 sacks last season and has 54 during his 10-year career, and is a three-time Pro Bowler.
He's a good player, but I don't want him in the locker room, or representing our squad. I think he's a ginormous stunod.

I think he's a ginormous stunod. 5th round pick (5.32!!!) sounds like a good deal to me. Isn't that an area we need help in? He's one of the best. Now, IDK what his price tag is. He's not representing anyone. We have enough powerful personalities and leadership. He's the new guy, and will be happy to be there. He's not particularly known as a cancer in the locker room, is he? If it's sitting for the anthem and all that crap, I don't think he'll get any support.

Not really an area we needed help in, but we've got cap issues and are gonna have to trade Vinny Curry. Once we drop Curry, Bennett will probably fill that role and be productive for us. He's a racist POS with a big mouth though. I know he'll be a good addition on the field, but I'm not real happy he's on this team. He wrote a book too, lmfao... 'Things That Make White People Uncomfortable'.

So what's your take? They must be gearing up to snag a FA, maybe WR? TBH, IDK what else they need. Hmmm... NFL site is now listing a 'SAF' on the roster. If that's a safety, the Titans have only 1?!?

The Derrick Henry show has officially begun, I think. That was what I took from it.

Undrafted, 13 catches 2016, 11 in 2017. It's not like they had a lot of solid weapons either. IDK how twitchy or fast he can be at that size. I'm thinking they draft a RB out of this good class. My point was 'do they have something in mind for the boost in salary cap space?' Maybe @njc71 could chime in, someday. lol

Personally, I don't think he'll get more than 25-30 catches tops. With that said, yeah... they're most likely to bring in a FA RB who can also catch the ball. They sure could use a legit #1 WR, no?
