"And make sure that he is in the type of shape. Um, but I I still think is gonna take a little bit of time. This kind of knock the rust off and And then also making a step up to the next level from from college. The pros. It's a whole different ballgame appeared. Jerry Judy. He saw that when he got appears like, Man, I was destroyed. These guys Back in college in Alabama, But you know when he got here, he saw that is, you know, guys air When you're locked tighter, You know, the guy's a lot more physical. Uh And I think that you know, Farley and a lot of these other guys coming into the NFL. They're gonna figure that out. As well and that will be play a part in You know the determining if he's going to be able to develop, you know, quickly, And, uh But again, I like what? I saw a man lot actually love what I saw. Just you know him again. Finishing plays being physical, not backing down from tackles. You know, when you make a tackle, he tackles Stays on his feet. He tries to drive the guys back versus, you know, just lunging out for guys and Leaving his feet. You know, he's a He's a really solid player, but he could be a superstar. Wow. Okay. Big compliment there from Steve Atwater chatting about Caleb Farley. And I mean, I guess if you're drafting a quarterback that high a top 10 pick, then you sort of expect to that kind of play a zoo You mentioned. I think it bears repeating Just what some of the what? Some of the things the hurdles that quarterbacks have to overcome. In order to be successful early on in this league, like like, I think, Caleb partly has everything the makings of being a good corner back in this league. If the Broncos are taking him at number 10, or in this case number nine in the top, 10, then don't they have to have some other hedges there at corner? Because really, that room right now looks pretty dang thin. Yeah. Yeah, I would imagine. I mean, they're They're a lot of corners out there now, you know, especially considering Last season. A lot of the young guys who would normally get an opportunity. To prove themselves in training. Kevin and just beginning didn't get that opportunity Last year, you know teams were being More saved primary speak with veteran guys who has some experience. Um You know, there are a lot of guys out there who could play the cornerback position. Uh, you know, we just got it. We got to find them. We gotta gotta find those diamonds in the rough and, yeah, way, grabbing a neat asking more guys to the roster, especially with all the You know the injuries that we had to that position last year. You know, I feel bad that we had. You know, a lot of guys who I think really complacent the football But you know, with injuries not don't know how quickly they'll be able to come back and don't know building you know, 100%. Ready to go in training camp. So, yeah, you gotta add more than dress just drafting. Even if you decide to draft him with the number one pick, you still gotta have some more guys. Well, that was my next question. If you're going to how much attention do the Broncos need to pay to the cornerback position this offseason in the draft and free agency Yeah. I mean, you know, get rid of a Jade Buddha. That was a big thing. And then you know, I would. I would think Grace Callahan is the starter right now, and Michael's a movie another side of him. But, you know, we still need a third corner and I would imagine still is gonna be rest. Callahan moving into the slot, so we'll need an outside corner. Um, now we have got to get you guys on the roster. But we've had injuries. Most of them have had injuries. So you know you should. I would be surprised if we had, you know, added 234 corners, um and you know in some form or fashion, whether it be Rookie free agent, college free agents, or, um, Guys who have possibly didn't play in the league last year because, like so they were just like of opportunity. Time with Steve Atwater here. Broncos Ring of Famer Holla favor So quarterbacks are in the news right now, obviously for the Broncos, and yeah, in rap report was on our friend corduroys podcast. We'll have him on here in a little bit to talk about how he said that the Broncos would if they're going to make a trade for a quarterback. It has to be a remarkable upgrade, because, as he views it as the organization cornerback, quarter back quarter Q B yes. Okay? Yeah. So I mean, I basically kind of looking to you here for a moment and just asking, like for the Broncos, where it gets kind of little bit dicey is thinking about how much you're gonna have to give up now. Last week. You are two weeks ago. We did take the case to court. And you said that you didn't want to give up really anything to go get the show on Watson. Now it And as we said at the time, too. Yeah, I thought that It was rumored that he want to come here. So that was a big part of it. Okay, well, does that change it? If he's interested in coming here is legitimately interested in coming here. You've got to explore it. But again, I don't wanna give up the form for anybody. I mean, I just because football is a game is not like basketball, basketball. You go get a superstar and he could take you very far. Now eight. The cabbie Buccaneers data was high when I got Tom Brady, but they had a lot of pieces that were there already. And I think we have a lot of pieces, but we're coming off a lot of injuries, too. So, you know But that combination together we still need to air from pieces to the puzzle. So you know, we just can't Give up that much because we still we're still kind of, you know, building our chess board here. Well, yeah, That's the thing. You know, I think you look at this team and the Broncos are closer to a defensive rebuild, or at least reload that. I think a lot of people are willing to admit, you know, von Miller's in his age, Karine Jackson and his age, They just got rid of AJ Bouvier. Alexander Johnson is in or if they'll be coming up on a big deal. And he's 30 years old General Casey once he clears hours, not gonna be here. We're not sure if we're resetting Shelby Harris or trying to re sign Justine Simons, but they're not sure on that. You start looking around this defense and my man, there's there's a bit of a reload that's needed. Well, you know what I mean? It seems like every year When guys are free agents, you know, team, you know, people, we all think that They're gonna be these mass changes. And I find I found, you know old last few years, that man, a majority of those guys end up being right back with the same team, and I'm hoping That again. Mr. Peyton can work his magic and be able to get a majority of those guys back, man. I love the half shell. Be hairs back. Uh, love the have just Simmons obviously love to have bomb Miller. Like, I don't know. I don't know what the Captain's like We were before all those guys but If we could have a majority of the guy's bank last year and and those guys they're raising goal. Mean that defense we were looking good we could, you know, still have change Jack back. We're looking good. And we're did is they get a good good cornerback in the draft? Pick up another inside linebacker. I think maybe another guy, um, for you know that interior defensive line as well, Um, but Yeah, I think I think that we're gonna have more guys back then Everybody's anticipate everybody participate is gonna be everybody's You know, all the freezer is out of here. I don't think that's gonna happen. Wanna go back to something You said just a moment ago, though you said that if Shawn wants it is interested if the Broncos to determine that he is going back to that, man, Because you you said that night I got the kind of.

If the Broncos do determine that he is going back to that, man, Because you you said that night I got the kind of guy interested piqued my interest there because two weeks ago I lost in court and I, you know, I felt like I made a strong, passionate case for Shawn Watson, but unfortunately, it obviously didn't work out my favorite but now knowing where the judge was leaning, it feels as though if I just would've had one small piece of information that Shawn Watson had interest in the Broncos. Their honorable judge Steve Atwater, might have swayed his vote a different direction. Whoa! Not necessarily because there still is going to come down to. What is it gonna cost? And it was gonna cost 23 1st rounders. Uh, I'm out. I'm out, man. I mean, this could cost three first.

"I liked the gamble there, especially because what you ended up getting back was a contract that didn't have any dead cap fit for you. So you knew you could move on as soon as the very next year, And so I like the gamble. It didn't quite work out. Maybe there's something to learn from it. You're still gonna have to probably go into free agency and get a cornerback had to add a least another cornerback or two in the draft, But I Didn't necessarily come away from this experience with AJ Bouvier thinking, man. What a missed moment That was for this organization. Yeah, I think the you know, sometimes you roll the dice and win sometimes you don't. That was one of those ones where they you know they made the right move. Trade was the right move. It just didn't pan out, you know, and sometimes you use result to justify the process. You'll find people doing that. You know what other stations around town and it's? Of course, ridiculous, But you know that's what they do, and It's not. You know, if you look at it through that lens, then you're going to say all this was terrible. But the reality was at the time you to corner you got played the outside and when he was in there, he played well. It wasn't like he was get roasted. Anything you didn't play? Well, he was bad. It was quite well, It didn't work because he was hurting because I hurt in suspension. Yes, you know, injuring suspension and the season where a whole lot of guys were hurt, So that sucks for Buddha. And I know that he was like in that locker room. I know they like him a lot. Um, you know what sucks for him. But you know, in the end didn't work out and they're gonna try and find somebody that they feel like it's a little bit better fit and probably more cost controlled. They still young player. You still got many? Yeah, I still got time left. He's got the right mentality. Maybe you and I talked to him this off season with the Broncos brought him in. And you talk to the media, and we also running on Broncos country tonight, and I mean, this is a guy that just played his entire career with a chip on his shoulders, undrafted player and he wanted to prove things when he left Houston, he went to Jacksonville. He played really well when that team was really good around him when he had a really good secondary. And other a cornerback on the opposite side here great safety that we just had a really, really talent rich defense for a couple of years there, but will start to fall off when he was asked to be quarterback. One He struggled out in Jacksonville. Now we thought that we said this when they acquired him said OK, Well, it's possible that a J. Bouvier will never, ever get back to the level of what he was playing out there with at the end of the Texas time and then with Jacksonville, But ah, like to gamble, the one thing the one thing you got to watch out for is if he's expected to be C B 1 may not be a good deal for him. There were times he was expected to be C B one, and it didn't always work out. But I thought as a compliment to price, Callahan when those two are both out there, I thought they did pretty well. Yeah, the defense played well. Both those two were out there and you know again, I I thought when he was on the field, it was worth it. But, you know, ultimately wasn't on the field enough to justify the PD thing. Even with the fact that you know he was misled on bears a lawsuit with all that and everything In the end, you just didn't get the bang for the buck. And, you know, I think George Payton ever looked at this and saying, Look, we gotta re sign Shelby. We gotta re signed Justin. We're gonna figure out the Von Miller situation. We've got a tender three guys. Um, you know I could bring I could do more with this. Money than a guy we're not sure about. Do you take the decision to do it now as a we already, maybe have some eyes on cornerbacks. They're going to be out there or do you think it's more? Just this was an easy decision to just go ahead and wipe off the books. It's both. I think it's I think it's a combination of you know, he knew this was coming. You do it right by the player and get him out ahead of the markets so that he can begin. Working his negotiation on the market on then, you know, I think the other part of this is you know, you understand and have allocated that money towards another player. And that's where you're going with that, you know, you know, just getting that cleared up and showing showing your players where the money, you know. Hey, look, We're friends. We can make this work. With me, and I think it's worth that. It's gonna be interesting to see what they ultimately decide to do there, But they obviously need to reload their in the secondary. They need more death. They need more starters that you know. You have a poll question up right now. Add K way, Colorado, You could go vote on it, and we're gonna talk about this A little later on, we're gonna get into more free agency. But we're asking you, which position is a must add for the Broncos during free agency is a cornerback, inside linebacker, quarterback or other His only free agents. This is only free agents, and now that's that's kind of interesting point, But they did not include trades here for anybody, but again, there will be some quarterbacks out there free agency and you wanna guess what's winning right now. Corner. It is a landslide and should be I mean, it's just the right answer. Quarterback his second. That's wrong. Um, like I understand where everybody's gonna do this, But they're gonna add one. You know, they're gonna have one. Yeah, they're gonna bring in a bed and it's gonna be you know, one of the names Well, anyway, I'm not. Do this again. I'm not gonna re litigate something. I've already.

"You know if you have the right to match right, they basically a free agent. They go out, Negotiate a contract and you have the right to match it or not. Now, in some in some players cases like, for instance, Tim Patrick You would think you give him a second round because you want to keep him because you don't think anybody's going to trade a second rounder form, right? But a do right by the player might be to just put it on original round and let the player you know, test the market and see because Patrick values never gonna be higher than it is right now. All right, because next year he's gonna be behind Jerry Judy, courting sudden, probably cage, a handler, etcetera. And so he's not gonna give many opportunities to shine like he did this season. So I do right by the player in this particular they'll be that's that's sometimes when you see an original round tender and you can't figure out why sometimes to do right by the player with Phil Lindsay. I don't know if he's gonna get second or ridge around tender. I don't know. Alexander Johnson's probably get that second round center. We don't know. In Philippi, Royce Freeman. He'll be here. They'll probably draft the guy E. I have a feeling that day three draft a guy, Um, and then they had the other kid last year that Bonnie Bellamy, you know, bring him back a little bit, though They'll have some training camp competition for this kind of stuff. And people get the opportunity shine, I, You know, maybe somebody on free agent markets is cheap that you can get. Um Pat Shurmur. Tends to prefer bigger backs. He likes big backs, and I cannot lie. It's it the anti Rhee philosophy you know they have They have a of type have very, very specific type that they like on. That usually is the running back. That's between 5 10 and 6 ft. And between 222 £135. On, You know, they've got explosiveness. They got good hands and catch up the back. Did you go back and look at the guys and he reads had over the years. Correll Buckhalter do Staley Nile Davis. You know, we go on and on and on with, you know, And anyway, I got living on Bell. You know the guys they've had over the years. That's what they tend to do. You go back to look at Pat Shurmur is kind of same thing like a trace sermon on day three. You get a guy? I don't think I mean, you know, Day three. But if you could get that that'd be that'd be ideal. But that's what Pat Shurmur prefers that anybody got Melvin Gordon means It's the archetype, right? Phil Lindsay don't really fit that mold. And the reason is because of Pat Shurmur. Running back is typically gonna be running on second down and you could be running in between the tackles. And you just It's just physics like a that point. You just You know, you just want to get a few yards to make third down manageable. They run to make the pass on third down easier. They don't. They don't really commit to the run game, And then they cut off its. I wish they'd do a little more, but that's beside the point. So the long winded way of answering the blisters question is, Um, we don't know Melvin Gordon be here, but he won't be available for the first couple of games. Royce will probably be here by default. The probably draft the guy probably bringing another free agent in, you know, a low cost free agent and you're gonna go after Aaron Jones or anything like that. My Lord. No, Let's take the case to court. No, it's not. It's not do that. I won last year. Yeah, you got Melvin Gordon hurt. It hurt. That was that was a proud day for my family. Yes, Yang. You still still talk about that one? You know, just so you know, you always have that one always over the one and then you know my closure Moody. And I mean, I remember that case E could go on. Just remember that telling you that I do remember recently. The honorable Steve Atwater ruling. I want to say it was not in your favor. Yeah, about to Shawn wants and yes, But then he got he got me back last night when he agreed with my Idea. My hypothesis will come forward about Patrick Mahoney. You guys and your hope you mum on Pat Mahomes regressing, but you're borrowing that from, Mason told it's a from movie. Okay? All right, So there you go. That's a little bit breakdown. The running backs will have plenty time to do that. I want to get to the Jade Buddha thing here because today the Broncos released him. We talked about this last night. This is something that we've obviously talked about quite a bit on the show you tweeted out, and I think this is kind of where the next points go to about what's next here Because it seems like drill. Casey is going to be one of the next names with Dr Von Miller and what that represents. And there are some other contracts, hear them. And you could go into the Nick van at the Senate gym for school. Yeah, Jeff Driskel, of course, is another one. You get some major savings there, too. So what do you You sort of expect is going to be the next thing to happen here. I think the next thing is probably the drill Casey situation getting resolved one way or the other, and it's probably cutting made with him on day. They will do that. If they feel they're firmly they've got the Shelby thing. Settled. You know they could negotiate. We shall be Harris right now. They'd get that done and they put out an offer to him. I think they're going to get that done. They put it off to him. Walk back. They've been you know the MCATs it on that I didn't think I had done that. We find the key or the question or the you know, the thing is, once they've got that that bird the hand. Um Then you put it back to Justine Simons. You can't actually negotiate with until the first of the year. And the way to ensure that he doesn't actually get the free agency easy tag him again, which he's going to give set with, but George Payton used to call him say, Hey, look, this is just a negotiating ploy. We're trying to get to the you know, X Y and Z doesn't work Well, he's gotta go. What a great relationship with players. He's shown that in the past and that I think that you're onto something there because I think if it's John Elway and this is no director festive John away, But this John Elway doing that. I think it would rub the play of the wrong way they would feel as though it's a bit of a slight even though this is clearly an indication the Broncos want to keep him. That negotiation tactic has not always worked here in Denver with John Elway because he's always trying to win the negotiation. George paid me, on the other hand, has built these relationships with players. And I think that that's sort of the expectation then is that George Payton would reach out to Justine? Who, by the way has already done that already. Try to smooth things out. Hey, I understand you're probably worried about this. You spoken very positively about it in the media. You wouldn't talk to him on the phone. So I'm feeling very confident. Justice Simmons is gonna be a Bronco for a really long time. But back to age a bouquet for a little bit. I saw Andrew Mason put this up was appalling. I thought this was kind of a good point. Because AJ Bouvier did not give you what you were hoping to get out of him this year like there's no, There's no way to cut it to say that a J Buddha lifted the secondary to a level that you needed him to be able to do. I mean, he was hurt for a good portion of the year and then he got suspended. Yeah. But the question, he asked is was, It's still a good move. Was it still going to trade 1/4 rounder to get him was? It's still good mood. I say it still was..

"Matthews live at the Red Rocks and Dave Matthews. You think you know me? I do know, you know God, you have John Mayer's entire collection, didn't you? I only saw him twice and concert so Only twice.

I feel like yeah, I feel like killing is a yellow ball. Oh, no question everything turkey. Oh, yeah. Yeah, every every coal Is that your low moment, right? I would've called my shot right Do if he hits on one of these one of these just we over at that point I would have, we would just have to play that call on repeat for an entire show. We would. Yeah, I mean, if if somehow the Broncos in a three team trade acquired Carson wins by trading two guys that aren't even under contract right now, who the guys, he said Phil Lindsay Justine Simons. Yeah, Two guys that are not even under controI your salary cap. You have to sign those guys in the trade, though, that it would absolutely obliterate your salary cap, but you know that's cool by me, but there would be people out there that would be kind of thrilled. The Broncos didn't have to give up a lot of draft capital for Carson, right, because you know, the Eagles were trying to get to one's right. Just, you know, I think I get two or three Pro Bowl players for Carson A might. I think it's gonna be a one and a conditional pick is what I think is the end is going in there player and whether that's the Bears the Colts or whatever. I think it's gonna be a wanted conditional pick on a player. Yeah, I see the posturing that keeps happening out. It's all coming from Philly. That's the word, But like all the leaks that are coming out of them are coming for the bears. It's all coming from Phil. Hey, the Bears were close on this one. You guys might want to get in while you can so ridiculous. It's so funny, and there's speculation about what Mister Frisky's future is gonna be. And Not good. Not good. Not gonna work here anymore anyway. All right, So again, you can keep texting us 56690. We'll have a chance in the next hour to take some calls again. We're gonna hear from Patrick Mahomes, in his post game press conference after the Super Bowl, said some interesting things about his receivers and offensive line that has gotten Everybody buzzing today, But right now we're gonna head out to the hotline is we do on Wednesdays? We check in with d N v R. And tonight Zach Stevens at Zach Stevens, D N. V are on Twitter. It's always good. Great to have you on the show. Zack, How are you? That was what's going on doing great. You know, I'm doing better than AJ boy. But maybe not a good Tom Brady. Today, there is a happy medium might say, although it's interesting as time wore on, after he came off the White Clause I wondered how he'd be feeling and and honestly, by now, they're actually probably pretty close to the same. Apparently, the whole concept behind the seltzer is that it gets you less hung over. It gets you drunker quicker and less hung over because it's carbonated, and there's so much water in it. I don't know this is just something someone told me. So I have no idea anyway. True? Well, you know, I think some just probably only had to have one seltzer because of, you know, not drinking all year, and I think one would probably get him that posted. TV 12 Method 12 ounces Getting best on exactly, man, No doubt about it. All right, Zach, let's Let's talk about AJ Bouvier for a minute in the Broncos Decide toe move on from him. I don't think this really surprised anybody. But When it comes down to what are you going to fill that void? And there's a void there. What do you feel that void? So if you had had it your way, you're the GM right now. How are you feeling the cornerback position for the Broncos. Guys. I think the Broncos have to fill this multiple ways. I don't think with quarterback and cornerback I don't think they can go into the draft. Having not addressed either of those positions or else then they're stuck in the absolutely will be forced to draft one of those guys in the first round. Pretty much, so I think they're going to have to address both of those positions, quarter and cornerback in free agency. And in the draft and now in the inn created, See if it's a bigger move. If it's a bigger name that they bring in in terms of money, then they don't have to go first round in the draft and you could very wealthy. Another third round corner, which I know gets people fired up about third round corners. But if it's more of a smaller name that they address in free agency with the cornerback position. Then it could barely very well be Patrick's or tan Caleb barley at number nine. Or you could see a trade down for the Broncos and maybe move into the late teens early twenties and go with the JC Horn at cornerback. And and right now, guys, I wouldn't be surprised if the move as of right now is to pick up Veteran quarterback T Bring in some competition for Drew lock this year and really have that be the quarterback room and then in the draft in that first round a trade back and then grab whatever cornerback is there and the late teens? Probably not. Patrick, sir. Candor Kayla farther. I think those guys will be gone, but maybe a J c horns..

"I liked the gamble there, especially because what you ended up getting back was a contract that didn't have any dead cap fit for you. So you knew you could move on as soon as the very next year, And so I like the gamble. It didn't quite work out. Maybe there's something to learn from it. You're still gonna have to probably go into free agency and get a cornerback had to add a least another cornerback or two in the draft, But I Didn't necessarily come away from this experience with AJ Bouvier thinking, man. What a missed moment That was for this organization. Yeah, I think the you know, sometimes you roll the dice and wind sometimes you don't. That was one of those ones Where they you know they made the right move. Trade was the right move. It just didn't pan out, you know, And sometimes he used result to justify the process. You'll find people doing that. You know what other stations around town and it's? Of course, ridiculous, But you know that's what they do, and It's not. You know, if you look at it through that lens that you're going to say all this was terrible, But the reality was at the time you to corner you got played the outside and when he was in there, he played well. It wasn't like he was get roasted. Anything you didn't play? Well, he was bad. It was quite well, It didn't work because he was hurting because I hurt in suspension. Yes, you know, injuring suspension and there is a season where a whole lot of guys were hurt. So that sucks for Buddha. And I know that he was like in that locker room. I know they like him alive. Um, you know what sucks for him. But you know, in the end didn't work out and they're gonna try and find somebody that they feel like it's a little bit better fit and probably more cost controlled. Still, young player. You still got many. Thanks. Yeah, I still got time left. He's got the right mentality. Maybe you I talked to him this off season with the Broncos brought him in. And you talk to the media, and we also running on Broncos country tonight, and I mean, this is a guy that just played his entire career with a chip on his shoulders, undrafted player and he wanted to prove things when he left Houston, he went to Jacksonville. You played really well when that team was really good around him when he had a really good secondary. And other than a cornerback on the opposite side here, great safety that we just had a really, really talent rich defense for a couple of years there, but when they start to fall off when he was asked to be quarterback, one He struggled out in Jacksonville. Now we thought that we said this when they acquired him said OK, Well, it's possible that a J. Bouvier will never, ever get back to the level of what he was playing out there with at the end of the Texas time and then with Jacksonville, But ah, like to gamble, the one thing the one thing you got to watch out for is if he's expected to be C B 1 may not be a good deal for him. There were times he was expected to be C B one, and it didn't always work out. But I thought as a compliment to price, Callahan when those two are both out there, I thought they did pretty well. Yeah, the defense played well. Both those two are out there and you know again, I I thought when he was on the field, it was worth it. But, you know, ultimately wasn't on the field enough to justify the PD thing. Even with the fact that you know he was misled. There's a lawsuit with all that and everything in me, and you just didn't get the bang for the buck. And, you know, I think George Payton never looked at this and saying, Look, we gotta re sign. Shelby. We gotta re signed Justin, We gotta figure out the Von Miller situation. We've got a tender three guys. Um, you know I could bring I could do more with this. Money than a guy. We're not sure about. You take the decision to do it now as a we already, maybe have some eyes on cornerbacks. They're going to be out there or do you think it's more? Just this was an easy decision to just go ahead and wipe off the books. Thanks Both. I think it's I think it's a combination of you know, he knew this was coming. You do it right by the player and get him out ahead of the markets so that he can begin. Working his negotiation on the market on then, you know, I think the other part of this is you know, you understand and have allocated that money towards another player. And that's where you're going with that, you know, you know, just get that cleared up and showing showing your players where the money, you know. Hey, look, we're friends so we can make this work. With me, and I think it's worth that. It's gonna be interesting to see what they ultimately decide to do there, But they obviously need to reload their in the secondary. They need more death. They need more starters that you know. You have a poll question up right now. Add K way, Colorado, You could go vote on it, and we're gonna talk about this A little later on, we're gonna get into more free agency. But we're asking you, which position is a must add for the Broncos during free agency is a cornerback, inside linebacker, quarterback or other His only free agents. This is only free agents, and now that's that's kind of interesting point. They did not include trades here for anybody, but again, there will be some quarterbacks out there free agency and you wanna guess what's winning right now? Corner. It is a landslide and should be I mean, it's just the right answer. Quarterback his second. That's wrong. Um, like I understand where everybody's gonna do this, But they're gonna add one. You know, they're gonna have one. Yeah, they're gonna bring in event and it's gonna be you know, one of the names Well, anyway, I'm not. Do this again..

"So I do right by the player in this particular they'll be that's that's sometimes when you see an original round tender and you can't figure out why sometimes to do right by the player with Phil Lindsay. I don't know if he's gonna get second or ridge around tender. I don't know Alexander Johnson probably get that second round center. We don't know. In Philippi, Royce Freeman. He'll be here. They'll probably draft the guy E. I have a feeling that day three draft a guy, Um, and then they had the other kid last year that Bonnie Bellamy, you know, bring him back a little bit, though They'll have some training camp competition for this kind of stuff. And people get the opportunity shine, I, You know, maybe somebody on free agent markets is cheap that you can get. Um Pat Shurmur. Tends to prefer bigger backs. He likes big backs, and I cannot lie. Um, it's it's the anti Rhee philosophy. You know they have. They have a a type have very, very specific type that they like on that usually is the running back. That's between 5 10 and 6 ft. In between 222 £135. On, You know, they've got explosiveness. They got good hands and catch up the back. Did you go back and look at the guys and he reads head over the years. Correll Buckhalter do Staley Nile Davis. You know, we go on and on and on with, you know, And anyway, I got living on Belle guys they've had over the years. That's what they tend to do. You go back to look at Pat Shurmur is kind of same thing like a trace sermon on day three. Didn't get a guy. I don't think I'll be there all day Three. But if you could get that baby would be ideal. But that's what Pat Shurmur prefers that anyone got Melvin Gordon means It's the archetype, right, Phyllis. He didn't really fit that mold. And the reason is because the Pat Shurmur running back is typically gonna be running on second down and you're gonna be running in between the tackles. And you just It's just physics like a that point. You just You know, you just want to get a few yards to make third down manageable. They run to make the pass on third down easier. They don't really don't really commit to the run game, And then they cut off its. I wish they'd do a little more, but that's beside the point. So the long winded way of answering the blisters question is, Um, we don't know Melvin Gordon be here, but he won't be available for the first couple of games. Royce will probably be here by default. The probably draft the guy probably bringing another free agent in, you know, a low cost free agent and you're gonna go after Aaron Jones or anything like that. My Lord. No, Let's take the case to court. No, it's not. It's not do that. I won last year. Yeah, you got Melvin Gordon hurt. It hurt. That was that was a proud day for my family. Yes. Yeah. You still still talk about that one, You know, just so you know, you always have that while he's over the one and then you know my closure Moody. And I mean, I remember that case E could go on. Just remember telling you that I do remember recently. The honorable Steve Atwater ruling. I want to say it was not in your favor. Yeah, about to Shawn wants and yes, But then he got he got me back last night when he agreed with my Idea. My hypothesis. Put forward about Patrick Mahoney. You guys and your hope you mum on Pat Mahomes regressing, but you're borrowing that from, Mason told it's a from movie. Okay. All right, So there you go. That's a little bit breakdown of running backs. We'll have plenty time to do that. I want to get to the Jade Buddha thing here because today the Broncos released him. We talked about this last night. This is something that we've obviously talked about. Quite a bit of the show you tweeted out, and I think this is kind of where the next points go to about what's next here Because it seems like drill. Casey is going to be one of the next names with Dr Von Miller and what that represents. And there are some other contracts here, though. I mean, you could go into the Nick van at the Senate gym for school. Yeah, Jeff for school. Of course, another one. You get some major savings there, too. So what do you sort of expect is going to be the next thing to happen here? I think the next thing is probably the drill Casey situation getting resolved one way or the other, and it's probably cutting bait with him on day. They will do that. If they feel they're firmly they've got the Shelby thing. Settled. You know they could negotiate. We shall be Harris right now. They'd get that done and they put out an offer to him. I think they're going to get that done. They put it off to him. Walk back. They've been you know the MCATs it on that. I don't think I think Don, that we find the key or the question or the you know, the thing is, once they've got that that bird the hand. Um Then you put it back to Justine Simons. You can't actually negotiate with until the first of the year. And the way to ensure that he doesn't actually get the free agency. Easy tag begin, which he's going to give set with, but George Payton used to call him say, Hey, look, this is just a negotiating ploy. We're trying to get to the you know, X Y and Z If it doesn't work well, he's got a girl with a great relationship with players. He's shown that in the past, and I think that you're onto something there because I think it is John Elway. And this is no director Fisted John away. But this John Elway doing that. I think it would rub the play of the wrong way they would feel as though it's a bit of a slight even though this is clearly an indication the Broncos want to keep him. That negotiation tactic has not always worked here in Denver with John Elway because he's always trying to win the negotiation. George paid me, on the other hand, has built these relationships with players. And I think that that's sort of the expectation and is that George Payton would reach out to Justine who, by the way has already done that already. Try to smooth things out. Hey, I understand you're probably worried about this. You spoken very positively about it in the media. You wouldn't talk to him on the phone, so I'm feeling very confident Justice Simmons is gonna be a Bronco for a really long time. But back to a J. Bouvier for a little bit. I saw Andrew Mason put this up was appalling. I thought this was kind of a good point. Because AJ Bouvier did not give you what you were hoping to get out of him this year like there's no, There's no way to cut it to say that a J Buddha lifted the secondary to a level that you needed him to be able to do. I mean, he was hurt for a good portion of the year and then he got suspended. But the question, he asked is was, It's still a good move. Was it still going to trade 1/4 rounder to get him? Was it still good mood? I say it still was..

"Oh, it is video Get always today. The anniversary of this being the first video played on MTV. Ah, See, there you go. Would be the relevance of the song. No, That's just the only reason why this song is relevant at all. Okay. I don't like today's University. By the way, I just said that about Chris Godwin. Bruce Arians is they were celebrating. I just saw this tweet 40 minutes ago, said your blank ain't going nowhere either to Chris Godwin. So no, it's nice to say that it's another thing when agents and And cat. People get together and say Watership. Yeah, I don't like we want. We want you for eight. He's like I could get 14 somewhere else. So it's hold on. I think this is the time Brady of not this is truly Time Brady effect. Look, man stick here, Play here in Tampa Bay. Take a little less money. Don't pay state taxes, Stay here and let's go win two more Super Bowls. Listen, man, this is this is to me. This is the ultimate sales pitch that's going on in NFL. I've seen it work. I mean, we did it with the Denver Broncos. We did with my teams. We did it with Ah, Peyton's teams man when you have that guy, and he's been given the juice like Tom Brady has been given the juice there in Tampa Bay. To call the right place to get into the right place to work with the coaching staff man. That's the right situation, bro. I mean, that is one. That's the one situation. That Patrick Mahomes will get to later down the line that he doesn't have right now about every person that kind of touchdown pass to the Super Bowl. Wasn't on the team until Tom Brady got there, right, and Tom Brady was the advocate form. Mike Evans was my Kevin's gonna make $12.2 million next year. Chris Godwin's made $3 million in four years, so I don't know what that number is. I'm not saying you're wrong. But this isn't the MBA. And I think about Draymond Green when he signed his big deal, and it wasn't a Max deal, and when he was asked, why didn't you ask for more money? You said Look. I am making whatever Still $100 million he goes, That's not going to change anything in my life. I'm still gonna live in a very nice house in the same block and do the same things I was doing, but that gives us extra money to go out and get more guys and then, by the way, they signed Kevin Durant shortly thereafter and that will help us one more championships That will change my life. But very much perspective is a little different because NBA money is different than NFL money When Chris Godwin Only three at $3.8 million he's made in four years. It's gonna be tough for him The have his agent look across the table. Jason lighter virtually and said, Hey, we want it back, but we couldn't do three years. 24 1, another team of fame. Five years. 90 or whatever. After Mark Cooper got 100 million in over five years last year from the Cowboys. I know the economics gonna be different, but Chris Godwin's one of the top two or three players on the market right now as a true free agent. Okay. Obviously AJ Bouvier got released today and you did talk to us about that in in early December that you thought that that was the plan so that that's the first move that George Payton has done as the new general manager of the Broncos. How fast and furious now do these moves continue to go forward. Well, I think the next move that makes the most sense is the other one that I told you guys about it, and that's General Casey. The differences there is that drill. Casey is still injured and going through rehab, so if they were toe Release, and now they have to come with an injury settlement and pay him some portion of the almost $12 million that he's getting, and that's about how much we're gonna clear with boy 12 million. It'll come off the cap that taken cough the payroll that they can use other places where guys like Justine Simons and von Miller, perhaps her or shall be Harris. So I think Casey is next and then I'm guessing the conversations after that. Are likely with either well John James Stevie's Gonna Stay room. He's going to stay opting out and maybe retire. We're gonna assume he's not because I was saving a bunch of money, but it's perhaps some sort of restructuring with Kareem Jackson. It's a team option for $12.8 million. So for a guy that's now well into his thirties. He's what 31 32. I'm double checking right now. He's 32. He'll be 33 by the time the year Stars is birthday's next month. What does AH Multiyear deal look like if if one and all for cream, but I think it's Casey. First, I think, Scream and then a name that I brought up when we had that conversation about boy Rice. Callahan's got one year left at 8.5 million. And while we know how good he's been when he's on the field, the biggest issue is that he hasn't been on the field a lot. So do you just continue to go young or do you pay in that final year? Here? You don't the restructure, but I think those were the three names. That you're talking about that you might let go or might rework. And then von Miller's a separate conversation and Justine Simons new contract is also a different conversation. But those air in order and so there's a long answer your question. I think I think Casey's up next very likely, but he has to be healthy first for them to then release it. Wow. You make it sound like it's justice Simmons deal is is gonna happen and that this is just a matter of time. It feels inevitable because in George Payton can say whatever he wants, but in multiple interviews and getting the sense talking to people in that building. Vic really wants that. We know how how much his defense relies on good secondary play. Good safety play, especially And you're thinking said. We're not in the habit of getting rid of our our own young players are good young players, and that's who Justin is. And then Justin had a sit down interview with Channel four last week, where he told Michael Spencer that he went over and was at the facility and met George and didn't talk about football once just kind of got to know him, and and I think, sometimes the little things like that. Can help. Uh, what could be a contentious negotiation on? That would be that contentious because the guy that's negotiating for the Broncos was Justine Simmons agent firm for the last four years until the Broncos hired him last year, So I think that it will get done to question of what is that number look like because of these economics and maybe the bonuses higher, But the per year is less or whatever accounts this year is, you know, spread out. I just think it feels like A Z Muchas any move that they're going to make this offseason re signing Justine Simmons feels the one that if I were going to place a bet on draftkings or bet rivers or any other happy wanted to use, I would bet Justine Simons is back and he's the highest paid stake in football. That to me. That just makes no sense. I'm just gonna be Honest with you. You're gonna play..

"Tom Brady's always been very image conscious. Very, very protective of his image and BK I saw you. You throw this to us on Twitter. He was He was gone. He was getting they were having to help him. Walk off the boat. Let let's just be clear he was what was he drinking? Other kind of tequila? Avocado tequila, The tweet. Look, he we know his social media team certainly helps from time to time, although I do like the idea that Tom Brady said they're making all these videos himself like that. He's a wizard with I movie or doing it on his phone or whatever. But it says, noting to see here, Dad that that just a little with a capital T in the middle avocado with a capital C. Tequila. So who knows if that was him or somebody else or joint effort I think we've seen and Tom Brady did all those interviews right after he got the temple, right? He talked to Howard Stern for awhile, and he did a bunch interviews. He just wants to let you know that he is a little more human. Then you think he's not the robot that he certainly has been portrayed as it may be, at times he is so I think this is just one more example of that, and also, he's probably had AH lot of avocado tequila. You found? Do you see the video them throwing the Lombardi Trophy from boat to boat? Yeah, I mean, he completed that passed out drunk too. That was really you know what? What's what's been nice for me is that You know, I think this is like Tom Brady's coming out right? Like yeah, Like, you know, this is not Bill Belichick. Who did this? This is this is my skill set. These were the players that I asked Bill Bill a check to go get and we got them and we were able to win a Super Bowl with the guys and I asked him to go get but he didn't want to coach anymore. He said that drunk was You know old and he had played is, you know best days. Antonio Brown was not a guy that fits into the Patriot way. What? Tom Brady went out and got those guys okay? And when he got him They became something of ah of a mass unit for football, and it's been a reclamation process like none other in the history of the NFL, where you got all of these guys that are past their prime, showing up and playing on the biggest stage and making the biggest plays. Well, And so it's gonna be interesting is when you look at their cap situation. They gotta give shag marry big money. Assuming they want to bring him back. They probably do lose Chris God, because I just can't see how you congested fi. Or make the math work to pay. All of them. Especially the cap goes down a little bit more, but they do have a still a bunch of these guys back up front, worse and Smith and and the center Ryan Jensen is from here and mark that those guys were all back. Mike Evans is under contract. We think, Runkle come back. He don't need a lot of money. I don't know about Abe Leonard Fournette is gonna find out the running back market this year. Is it going to be great? So maybe he's back on another one year deal or a multiyear deal for 45 million a year? They'll have Ah, lot of these guys back. But they'll also start being able to pull more of those guys like you're talking about. You know, we saw where Patrick Peterson is going to get. Let go. If I'm Patrick Peterson, I'm looking like five teams and the bucks or one of them. They don't really need him because I've always young DBS, but maybe he goes toe to play with the honey Badger on. That's just one example. But players like that veterans that no, they might have one more big payday. The economy is gonna be such that they are not gonna be able to get it this year. They're going to wait till there's no TV deals. I think Campbell will become a very attractive place for at least one more year known Brady's got enough in the tank and they've got enough pieces. So watch one or two of those names like that, like a Patrick Peterson type. End up signing there just for a year to go be a part of this celebration next year isn't Lavonte David also he's also free agent. He's up, and I think he'll be gone, too, because I think age. I think he's 32 31. He could maybe go get more money elsewhere, and they already have Devon White, so they just made a smudges. They love him. They may not be able to bring him back. I think he's probably pretty high on the Broncos board. Ah, free agents, but again, age and cost will will factor in And so you know, the Broncos freedoms money day and we're gonna talk about a job, boy. They're going to still free up some more money and figure out what's going on Justine Simons of von Miller before they can sign Levante, David or any other free agent just yet. I became. Let's hit that on the other side. Let's talk about the fact which, by the way you told us back in, like early December that you didn't think AJ Bouvier was gonna be back. Let's find out who is next, and how quickly we're going to start seeing these moves made by the Denver Broncos. We'll do that when we come back. It's 4 15 Big Alan Jo Jo on K Away news.

"There has been out there for years, and it looks like he's not only a finalist with Houston, But that deal maybe getting done. He's going down to Houston to meet with Cal McNair. And so maybe he doesn't leave Houston because he's the new GM, so that takes one position and one name off the board. But You want to have that person in place? Your help the little by you still have the entire personnel staff and John Elway still around, but you also don't want have to settle, so you want to be able to get your guy? It's just tricky if if there's a really good candidate that you like odds are someone else likes him too? Right? And that's what you want is you want to be in some sort of bidding war and hope that you're the right fit for them something other jobs come with. Potentially better opportunities to either drafted Trevor Laurence. Or you have a dish on Watson. If because area doesn't get that job in Houston or does either way that's a more attractive quarterback situation right now, And of course, we see what Justin Herbert it is a rookie in L. A. And we know how talented that roster is there. So you want to do it quickly because you don't want to let this fester for a couple of weeks. But you don't want to do it so quickly that you miss somebody that might have been the better fit Vacay as we get going into the offseason. Certainly there's um uh, contract clauses and timelines that need to be met. Any off any offhand that you can think of that have to be done before the start of the league year contract has to be executed before the start of the league year. As far as the guys that are under Contractual obligations. No, I guess I have to decide before you don't want guys to hit the street if you want him back, so I have to pick up an option. It's a team option on cream. Jackson very asked, you'd have to decide. Yeah, it's a team option for It's 12 million years a captain. It's 10 million in cash. So it's the team's decision to bring him back at that number. I feel like there may be an option on Von Miller. I need to double check that and if and if so, because you keep hearing people ask about the decision on Ron Miller. That's 17.5 million in cash and 22 a half against the cap, so I think it would Be in the best interest of the organization and the new GM, assuming that we believe what Vic Fangio and John Elway was saying that they want him back, and I think that they do that they get a deal done yet is a team option for Nirvana's well, 18 million in cash. I'm sorry in 22 2 to 5 against the cap. You want to sign him to an extension so that it doesn't It doesn't crush your cap this year and gives you more flexibility and gets von happy, right. This is a guy that has meant so much for the organization that if they want it back, they need to get that done. And then she'll be Harris, I think won't be done before free agency. That's the sense I get that they put a number out there. That was lower than he thinks he can get on the open market. Of course, you went through this once last year, so he may end up right back in the same spot. Differences last year. They never really put an initial offer out to him. So if they knew GM wants to honor that offer, or like Shelby, as much as we know, big Fangio does, And then Shelby will likely be back in the Justin Simmons. Of course, they could negotiate with Justin at any time. Now, I believe, because the season's done and they can obviously slap another franchise tag on him. But if they want it back, they're gonna need to make him a high state safety and football and I think he's probably earned that. In that salary. Okay? The last thing I have for you here, the five highest paid players or the Denver Broncos. Von Miller at 7 18 million bucks. Right? Juwan James 9.85 Kareem Jackson 10 Million with the club option. General Casey 6 11,000,081. On the next guy is AJ Bouvier. Of those five. How many do you anticipate coming back? Two for sure to Hogan Miller, Okay. Von Miller and John James, right. Tuan James opted out, but he's got 14 million reasons to come back and play next year. His wife's from here, So it's not like he's been hanging out somewhere else. I don't think I'm pretty sure they're just living in Denver. She's I think either from room to room fielder Lewisville, Esso. I expect James and I'm going to hold out hope that one. Miller does finish his career here that you don't have. Ah, The markets where situation guy that should have finished his career in Dallas. Like we were the beneficiaries in Denver to have them around in the community and bond was the biggest beneficiary. I think having him around, but Kay Jack, I'll lean towards that probably bringing him back. A lot of it has to do with what the cap number is. Is it 1 75 or doesn't go up to 200 because new TV deal is right around the corner or multiple new TV deals right around the corner for the league? So, uh And I don't think Casey and boy will be back a zoo. I've told you guys here now for multiple weeks. Okay? We appreciate it is always look forward to catching up with you again tomorrow.

"And if you understood like we remember, we're covering this because we understood from both sides of the house. Why? It ultimately didn't get done. Broncos fans and they maybe even some of the people in the media kind of rushed to judgment, saying the Broncos are cheap or that, John, You know, we just assume is asking for too much money. And it really wasn't that I mean, they both had kind of a line in the sand. Both sides, I say more so the Bronco's moved, But But there was a concern about what covert was gonna mean to the league year about what the salary cap implications we're gonna be in. The Broncos just simply didn't want to be underwater, and they knew they had the backstop of a second franchise tag. If they have absolutely had to use it, or they don't And it looks like the salary cap might ultimately be OK. It might come down a little bit for certainly probably gonna go up, but I don't know if it's gonna make the 1 75. Yeah, You got the roll over. So you got a little cushion there. That's gonna help on there. Are you just some flexibility? That gentleman's gonna have to come in and say OK, what? We keep it. AJ Bouvier, Are we keeping General Casey? You know, what are we going to do about von Miller's option? What are we going to do with Juwan? James was coming back off the opt out. You know what was going to eat that or we're gonna You know what we're gonna do, And so there's some. There's a couple of Karine Jackson. What are we going to do with Kareem Jackson is the 33rd year for three year deal with no guaranteed money, so they're just some flexibility on that defense to do something. She's gonna have to figure out what it is that you're going to do. The money's there. I'll say that in terms of cap the money is there now. Cash is a little bit different story. We've talked about that on this show before. Caches liquid money that the franchise has to have to be able to put into escrow two weeks after do get side But the cap portion of it is very easily solved. The cash portion of it is something that you're gonna have to figure out. What lies text here? What makes Kelly the front runner? In your opinion, Is it because of his relationship with Elway? Relation with Vic is? Why does Peter's prefer Caroline? Or if he does? I don't know that he prefers Carolina. But there's Carolina. Job is I'm gonna say more attractive to somebody like that right now. You're not beholden Anybody. There's no specter of anybody in the background you're coming in. You're the man without a peters. He worked here. You might rule work together. You see, l A. They know each other. Really? Well, they're buddies s. Oh, there's a friendship factor there in Carolina, the privately resetting it quarterback and they've got their stopgap and Teddy Bridgewater. Right s O u gonna get to pick your guy. There's there's more in Caroline's a young football team. You know, they're very young team with some exciting pieces. Um, so you know, I just think that right now, for a general manager looking to jump in, there is a more attractive job you've got. You've already got your coach. You gotta in your coaches. Somebody you worked with. Which is kind of the same situation for champ and champ Kelly. I mean, you've got your coach guy you worked with. You know you s Oh, I think it's two different people with two different scenarios, and Peter's probably just fits better in Carolina. To be honest with you. It's not not that you know you no more work for the Broncos or that kind of stuff. General Manager job's only 32 33 1, really, but you know, packers and that whole such a setup, But you know, there's only a certain number of them. And you know you're not gonna get the one in Dallas. So you know that that is force these jobs coming open. You know, you've got to consider your options. Try to find your best fit to strike while the iron is hot. If you got a chance to work with a buddy and you guys were unified your vision, Why wouldn't you take that? And so peters and rule? I think I think kind of our that it feels like I don't know. And maybe you can answer. This will produce some more time to talk about this tomorrow, but It feels like people are making a little bit bigger deal of the fact that John Elway is not completely out of the picture and not really maybe giving this new GM full Full opportunity right off the bat. I mean the way the way I understand it in the way, At least I'm reading between the lines here with John Elway and correct me if I'm wrong, But it seems as though he's laying the groundwork for this GM to be his own guy to be his own man and and to take some ownership. It may be a little bit of a feeling out process, you know, kind of like taking over for Peyton Manning. You know when Peyton Manning retired, there's when you're taking over for a Hall of Famer. It doesn't always go very smooth. You know, John always has the fourth best record of any active GM right now and two Super Bowl appearances in that tenure, so taking over for John Elway, whether he's still in the building or he's not here. He's Mr Bronco like that was always gonna be. Ah, little bit of an interesting transition is going eventually happen. Sting transition, So I whether he's in the building as president of football operations or he's just in the city of Denver. That was always going to be an interesting transition to me, and I think people are making way too much of John being around the facility Still, yeah, it's gonna be a significant step back. I mean, he's still gonna have some rubber stamp going on here, but I think he's trying to transition to the next phase of What it is that he's going to know what the GM do his thing. I mean, it seems it's a little bit of give and take. That's all they're working together. Yeah, exactly. Okay. When we come back, Tim Jenkins will join the program shot Bauer with a news update here at the top of the hour, plus traffic stick around Broncos country tonight,.
