That might not have been the reason we'll never know for sure. It's interesting Denver wasn't one of the 5 teams he visited.
I believe this year the floor is 89% meaning we can end up with $15 million leftover which we can then carry to next year. Rookies should run $7-8 million with 12 draft picks. Anything extra than the $15 million can renegotiated into salary on longer term contracts. Most likely what we will want is $10-15 million left over in cap space after signing the rookies for spending money in case of injury or an opportunity to sign someone else who unexpectedly cut like possibly a Desean Jackson potential cut and also of course to carry over money for next year.
@AdamSchefter: Neither team nor player's agent will confirm, but Broncos are expected to sign former Steelers WR Emmauel Sanders, per league sources.
Cro's tweet to Patterson's let's make it happen tweet @CRO31: @RealPeterson21 We going to make it happen.
After canceling the visit and never rescheduling maybe we just weren't that interested in Sanders? As for Cro, it's down to DRC or old guys
Here we have other teams, including New England, signing a million guys in 5 minutes and this idiot is just taking forever and getting almost nothing done. Jets meet a guy, it takes forever and other then Decker, their is never a payoff. He's not close to being a genius.
John Idzik is either a complete genius or somewhere very short of it. I trust the guy though, he had an outstanding reputation with personnel up in Seattle, and he played a decent role in putting together a roster that's going to dominate the NFL for years to come. Most of the time, huge free agent splashes aren't the way to build a winning team (see: 2013 Miami Dolphins). His patient strategy is how you get a roster to have depth. By taking from the second tier of free agents and building through lots of draft picks, you have multiple capable players at every position instead of having a top heavy roster. The salary cap makes building a team very sensitive, and overpaying for even 2 or 3 players can blow up your entire plan. The NFL is unique in that the rosters are much bigger than any other sport (53) and injuries are far more frequent, so depth is the most important aspect of a team. Idzik's patient strategy was starting to make me very anxious, but now that I consider it from the perspective of a general manager, I'm starting to realize that it's better to have a reserved, disciplined GM than one who just wants to steal the news headlines, especially in New York.
It seems like a lot of people in this thread have homes furnished exclusively with flea market purchases.
