"Access ports. 1300 AP Appreciate your patronage. You know what we're talking about today. Spent two hours on what has already occurred, and then at five will shift gears and You round two of the draft. How does that sound 5 to 29872? That is the text line and the phone line If you would like to get all interactive and judging by You guys coming back at me last night on Twitter. I know. You want to talk? So let's talk 5 to 29872. We will take a slight right turn. Or left turn as it were. Talk ponies. Kentucky Derby is tomorrow. Jonathan Horowitz or Horse racing Insider will be My guest just wants you to Win some once you win a few bucks this weekend. I want to give you the information you need, but the rest of the time it's the draft. So let's talk about the draft. The only thing That George Payton has proven In his time is general manager Is that he is willing to pay guys like Justine Simons von Miller. And shall we Harris more money. And John Elway would have The difference is between George Payton and John Elway. And there And last night. Was all the evidence I needed. To prove what I believed. Was the case when George Payton was hired. That this is not a changing of the guard. This is not a sign off brighter days ahead. John Elway is still very much in charge. He just has someone to carry out his day to day activities and George Payton. And once in a while who throw him a bone and say, You know what If you want to pick up the full freight on von Miller, you go ahead and do that. The on Lee thing that George Payton could have and can do. From now until the end of time. To prove that he is just not just an extension of the John Elway regime. Is to fix the quarterbacking situation. And that opportunity fell right into his lap last night. He played the draft board like a fiddle. They didn't have to move a muscle. And they ended up with the choice of Justin Fields, Michael Parsons and Patrick Ser Tan. And they win with Option three, which was the third best option. And the third best choice they could have made. And this has please understand me if you take in anything from me today. Understand. I have no problem with Patrick's or Tan. I think he's going to be a fantastic player in the NFL. You must balance what you need. And what the best player on the board is. You have to balance those two. You can't strictly go best player available. We could have a debate whether certain is even the best player out. Of those three. I am high on all three of those guys future in the NFL. Once you bring into account that there is one big fat smoking hole on this roster and has been for the better part of a decade. And you have an opportunity to address that. And walk everything else into place. No pun intended. Quarterback is all the Denver Broncos need. It's all they need. And we will be talking about a playoff contending. Nobody. And had every turn there either fail or unwilling like they were last night. To address the team's biggest concern. And what's worse. George Payton said a couple of weeks ago. That John He is leaning on John Elway. He has given John Elway some position groups to look at. Then you're helping me with these John, which I don't have a major problem with unless you give him quarterback. I said at the time. Let's just hope it's not quarterback that he gave him and I'll be gosh darned if Edward er Tweeted out yesterday that George Payton asked Elway to specifically scout quarterbacks. And when asked about it last night. George Payton. Said he I did it. Without even a hint of irony. Yeah. John had a big role in all the positions and had a big voice and he was involved in the process. He sat in all our meetings. Um, it was a sounding board for me for Vic. You know, on these players, you know that. All the players we discuss through our meetings, so he was great. That was the answer to a specific question about whether John Elway scouted quarterback The one thing John Elway proved unequivocally he could not scout he could not identify he could not. Evaluate. George Pain said. Please send say Tell me what you think. This quarterback class. Everything George Payton did this offseason John Elway could have done As much as I like everything that the Broncos have done in the off season up into this point. John Elway could have done it. He thought John Elway had a pretty darn good off season last year, didn't we? Made some moves that we really liked. Don't tell me now, after the fact you were down on AJ boy. Hey, you weren't down on a J boy. You're down on Bryce Callahan. You're down on Kareem Jackson. John Elway has had these off seasons before. So what? George Payton did this offseason. Why? I like it. John Elway could done the same thing. You know what else John Elway could have done? Screw up the ninth pick. Could have done that himself..

"We talked about how It depends on who I think you talked to at times because the thing is is is it's not 100% support behind locked right now because he hasn't earned that, like the the fact remains that there are gonna be people in that building right now. They're a little unsure The fact that they're even out there looking even if they're not aggressive looking. The fact that they're even out there looking or are calling about prices on things tells you that it's not 100% support, but that doesn't mean he can't earn. It doesn't mean he won't even have the job in the End. The Broncos have to do their due diligence and drew lock has to just kind of keep his nose down and keep working because there's nothing else you can do right again. This is another ver Bage issue that I have. Broncos or not looking to move on from Drew lock. If a situation with a vast improvement presented itself they would look into that, but they are not actively looking to move on that That's that's the difference between you know what they're saying to parse the words here because it's just it's just not accurate. If Shawn Watson were to become available, yes, the Broncos and 25 other teams in the NFL would all make a phone call. Dog like like he'd have to be an idiot, not to, you know, but I know something's going on there behind the scenes. I talked to people that Shawn works out with. I talked them regularly. Um and I know some things behind the scene there. The Houston Texans. There are serious like these people who think that they're not playing that they're not being serious about not trading like they're dead serious about it and you know they they think that he's going to be the quarterback or on their roster. This coming season one way or the other, Whether he's sitting home that collecting checks or whatever that's Houston's position right now. I was talking to our guy, Andrew Mason today. We're gonna have him on the program tomorrow night and I was talking to him about George Payton. And he said one of the things as he did made some calls, and I actually kind of Got the same sense from people up in Minnesota. But he got the sense that what George Payton brings to the Broncos, in large part is a guy that works all the angles and has a lot of contingencies. You sound like the opposite of that. John Elway. Yeah. John Elway's not a guy necessarily that works all the contingencies. I'm not saying he didn't think about them and then almost saying that he had people working on those. There is one holy John Elway with the No. Plan B shooting from the hip. The old gun slinger. First page is not like that just does not operate like that, and experience has taught him that's not the way to operate when he was in Minnesota with, you know, with the Tay Bridge water Injury fiasco. Then Sam Bradford that he has hurt in case Keenum and you know he was He was there for all that. So think Broncos fans need to get used to the idea that the Broncos are actually going to be fishing in a lot of ponds. They're gonna be released looking at the ponds before they actually dropped line or anything like that, But they're going to be Looking. They're going to be interested. They're going to be doing their due diligence and these reports are gonna get out because people are always looking for which teams are fishing and which teams have shown interest. So you know, just the fact that the Carson Wednesday, right? They're not interested in Carson. They are not interested in cars to make a call. First night of the price is really dead. Then they hung up the phone when they found out the price, right, so literally did not make it off, right. But this thing is like Don't know, even over used to that. Like how How often do we do even hear about those kinds of when you're thirsty for a quarterback? I think you glom onto every report like this. This is what I'm trying to get her to tell you guys about the Burbage. You know, responsible General managers call about everybody, whether you're interested or not, this me This isn't me throwing John Elway into the Plus. I'm just saying, like this is how he operated things like I would be mad. George Payton. If he hasn't called Mike Glennon is agent just to get the just to know so that you know what? Everything costs. You want to know the sticker price on everything in the store, right? So I would be mad. I would be matter if they signed Mike Glennon. But I want my general manager to know what it costs in an emergency situation. Where John Elway often went, I wouldn't say tunnel vision, but it kind of feels a little bit like that, as he's like. This is where we're going last year. We're gonna get this lock was the guy that was the direction they were going. Whatever quarterback they brought in was not too meant to challenge it was. We're all Andrew luck. You're before they brought in Joe Flacco. That's the guy. Yeah, we're gonna draft your lock in the second round his developmental guy or all in on Joe Flacco. We think he can still win with us Your before his case came in, they don't bring in any competition for case Keenum. It was all about case. All right, and all about that. They're still Yeah, they're still hoping, of course, that you know Paxton was going to do something. And I mean, there were years there where they had some versions of hedges. But you think about that position largely. Not a lot of hedges, not not really a lot of multiple angles that the Broncos could go. This year's gonna be different, like like one way or another experiences taught this organization and I think experience with George Payton has taught him that you can't put all those eggs in one basket now what the hedge looks like It's different things. And I saw some of the debates you were getting into with people about whether the drafted quarterback could be the hedge or whether again, you know. I think that in rap poor brought it up with Cody Roarke. He brought up like Marcus, Mario and Jacoby Percent guys that you'd have to actually put some intention behind to go get so it they're not just out there like the mike Glennon of the world, you know, like you have to, actually, like be involved in a bidding war with other teams, potentially, or maybe even make a trade for what is considered a backup quarterback. And I still think I put out the names. I stand by those names. I think that they're they're looking for somebody who has Has some starting experience. That's what they're looking for someone and we're going to run it back, if you like, can't win the job well, and this guy will guide us through to a high draft pick and we'll have the animal to be able to do that. Or we can chase Dak Prescott or Matt Ryan on the market next year. It's not like there aren't gonna be quarterbacks available next. You see, people are still thirsty for this thing that they just they refused. They've got tunnel vision. They're all keeping onto Shawn Watson, who isn't even available. And they're not looking at the bigger picture The Broncos can use those first round draft picks. They can use that pig to either trade back and build the war chest. Or they can fill another hole that this team has. And it has other holes. The only thing I thought when the report from Michael Lombardi came out was well, it couldn't be a trade. Or a name one of the premier names because that would have that would have made headlines around the league from other people, right? We would have heard about this right if the Broncos almost executed trade. What if they're almost executed to trade for a backup? What if they almost executed to trade for a hedge?.

"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.

"And I don't worry about the risk that drew lock will be alienated. Her butt hurt. Maybe both will happen, But then you got to come back and play it if they can't work out a deal to better themselves. That's That's the way the NFL goes. Then you got to come back. Assume you're gonna be the starting quarterback play better get the team around you to play better and move on. But I don't think you know it's been interesting to read some of the comments. Social media about the Broncos, in the estimation of some fans are screwing this thing up because they're making You know it known publicly about their interest in other quarterbacks. First and foremost, I am seen anything Come out of U. C Health center, so I don't think the Broncos necessarily or making anything public. George Payton has been. He was on this show when he first got hired, but And again. We talked about this. I talked to two people in the league. That have dealt with Peyton over a long period of time. Both of these guys I talked to are in management, and both of them said good things about George Payton grinder hard worker. But they said, Hey, he's not gonna you know, don't expect him to come on and be Overly gregarious or overly talkative. That's just not he'll answer. Your questions will be respectful, and that's fine with me. You got a football guy in there. So what if he didn't like to do too many media things? That's okay. But they haven't said anything publicly. So I mean, if I'm drew lock, all I can do is control what I can control. I come back in great shape, stronger, bigger, ready to assume that I'm gonna be the number one quarterback and that's the mindset he has to have. Everything else is out of his control. One thing about George Payton to when he was at Minnesota. Not only did he kick the tires, he bought the tires. Kirk Cousins, which was a big, big, big deal. Blockbuster with Kirk Cousins hasn't really worked out that great. The Vikings, but he was there in a part of that transaction, so It makes you think you know he's open to making those kind of deals. While he's here with the Denver Broncos. As the general manager in there, so many of these quarterbacks that look like they could be available. Uh, it kind of gets you a little excited. The only difference with the cousins deal and cousins statistically. Um, I had a good year this year. Vikings. Not really. But the only thing the difference between that deals some of these deals there were draft choices involved, right cousins was able to basically because he played out to franchise tags sit back and say Okay, Now I'm literally a free agent who's going to come up with the best deal and as it turned out, It was the Vikings. That was what was the three years and 84 Million? Yeah, and every single penny guaranteed, which which, at that point was almost unheard of in the NFL. And Kirk cousins. It's not like Kirk Cousins was considered. The premier quarterback in the NFL when they paid that kind of money, So it was a bit of a risk that they took. Kirk Cousins has put up good numbers. They just haven't been able to win with him right, like they wanted to. On a totally agree about Drew lock. You know, you just keep your head down. You work hard. Try to ignore all of this, which is really tough to do, especially for a young guy. Really tough to do When you're hearing your teammates. Talking about the Shawn Watson. When you're hearing these rumors, Russell Wilson could be available. Matthew Stafford, you know a couple weeks ago. It's pretty hard to ignore all of that. But you just keep your head down. You keep working hard and get better. And we'll see what happens. Will he be the starting quarterback in 2021? I think chances from me. I think chances are pretty good that that will be the case. But when you start seeing some of these things in the Broncos in the mix On these odds for these big names had I mean, it gives you not only interesting thing to talk about, but maybe get you a little excited, too. You know, I look a pro football focus a lot, but I do think your bowls at a much better year obviously signed a sign an extension and I say good for him and his family and I think good for the Broncos based on his play this year. But 19 19th best player in the NFL. Uh, you know what they might underpaid for him. If that's the case, you know, he signed the deal before the season was over. If he wouldn't maybe what a weight until the end of the season, maybe he would have got more money. You know the way it turned out for him and for Broncos made the pro football focus Top 100. I did notice that they ranked Kareem Jackson ahead of Justine Simmons, who's also looking to get paid. I found that interesting as well. I just don't know how how they can pay both. I mean, I don't either. I really don't but but with cream lobbying for two, Shaun watching like he's doing There's a chance Karim might not even be on this team next year. I find that interesting that you and I talked about that earlier. I think the Broncos if they have any hope of and I think would be a long shot An extraordinarily long shot to get this show on Watson. But you better keep Kareem Jackson. If you're thinking about cutting, Corinne, we're trying to restructure. You might want to keep that dude just until Shawn Watson decides what's he's gonna do Is this the last year in Karim's contract? I would have to go back and look at that. I do not. I do not know. But I think.

"Because if you've got your Generational quarterback who's the second highest rate of passing on history. The game girlie on Lee behind my homes, you can continue to build around that, and they've got enough good pieces, especially on offense that you outscore most your opponents. Okay. Brokers waved five players today on die Understand why that usually is done. But why did they do it? And why did they do it now? Well, The timing of it was such that these guys are all under contract and would still be Broncos property. If you will, into the spring and summer. It's not like saying shall be Harris, right? Who is going to be unrestricted free agent? They don't wanna bring Shelby back at all. This contract would just be up in the league year would start right because I believe he's in the building now working out because he can and going through some rehab it and all of that, But that'll change March 17th in the new year starts if he goes somewhere else, and I doubt it'll be. They're that close to that, anyway. But these guys can could continue to keep going well into the spring and after George Payton did his evaluation and met with all the coaches over last couple weeks. They thought now was the right time to make this move on these five guys because they want to make sure to get their ipads and playbooks back and not have them. In the facility in case they were to get injured or something, because then you're on the hook for paying him more money when you didn't really play on keeping them, so it's kind of one of those things where they got to the point where they knew these five guys, we're gonna be back. Really? No matter what. So they kind of rip the band aid off today, the one that surprised people's Elijah Holder because he played somebody was undrafted as a corner out of Stanford that I'm moving to safety. You don't run great. And then Joel Heath yellow reason you would know him. Is if you play Madden and don't your rosters for some reason. He's a starter on the defensive line in with the Broncos from August before they made the first roster update, But yeah, it was more. Just let's rip the band aid off and send these guys on their way and tell him thanks for their service. All right, more from our K away Broncos inside her Brenda Crystal on the other side. It's It's the weird thing. When Alfred tells me we're running late, Let's check traffic first. It's big Alan Judge on K Away News, radio Traffic every 15 minutes, which are Marcie, We gotta keep out with happy if he becomes a traffic cop. We're in trouble. He'll direct us in.

"Just need to have all of your ducks in a row, and they were bringing the coaches back into the building. Presumably, he finishes through lock evaluation and likely went through. Every player on the roster and did that evaluation and in the last week we can change since he got here. Once you get past his media responsibilities, I mean some of his personal stuff, and then you look at the way the Broncos were drafted the last couple years. Assuming you believe Brian Stark is the head of college scouting had some influence on that You kind of trust your people Todos their job Well, and he was the internal candidate the Broncos interviewed and that obviously carries some weight. You have to think and so George waiting because he's been kind of it every every level of scouting department. Understands what it's like to empower people right and just because we think he's maybe gonna bring in some of his own guys the way he made it sound was he's gonna let everybody around here, earn their job right and keep their job. And so if you've got this many people down in mobile, especially with the access being restricted, you guys can speak to it better than I can. I don't know. Do we know what the face to face situations look like? I know it isn't a free for all that we're used to seeing in the hotels there and mobile. Where where the players stay every year. At least, that's what I think it would be respected. So it was probably one single. He's like I'll get all the practice kind of shiny. I'll be able to watch, watch it when they send out all the links and then be able to ask all of our scouts that are down there and Brian start. Who really stood out Who do I need to take a second and a third look at and meanwhile, I can get to know my coaching staff and what they need and what they think of the players and does that match up with my beliefs. On each guy after doing doing breakdown, So I think it's more of a timing thing versus having the convenience of everything being in place. Which is something that John Elway and that Russell had the last Yeah, they're in the situation here is, uh, you know, less than ideal in terms of what you get with the face to face time, but it is still there. Still, teams get face to face and bubbling off these guys, the free agent market, You know, that's gonna be a situation where you're just not going to get that. It also could be the zoom thing That's gonna be tough, like it really is gonna be tough to determine where these guys are a locker room fit without getting the face time. Yeah, And this is, he pointed out, and I think that we're all realize that same challenge everyone faces is somehow there was 11 team or a handful of teams that could get face to face with guys. That that would be different. But if the league rules are the same that even if let's say you're the Miami Dolphins, one of the three teams in Florida and you couldn't drive the although Florida schools and all those SEC schools that are nearby Obviously, that might be a violation of league rules right And so you'll be able to get to the pro days, I guess, And that's probably we're going to rely on. I just can I get a snapshot of this kid, but this is where you're gonna have to rely on your relationships. And so you hope that George Payton doing this many years as he has is able to call Coaches that he knows all around college football and ask them. Hey, what can you tell me about this guy? Or that guy? Or why should we consider this guy? What kind of fit is he? And then I assume we're talking about free agents as it relates to two. Pros or college free agents that you might like like Annie saying, Vassili people like that. Well, I mean, all free agency and in general, I mean, you're still going to get the medicals in the combine. But you're missing those interviews, the best gonna go zoom and then the pro free agents. I mean, you're really not gonna get anything but the zoom. You're not gonna get any updated You know, situation where you can sit down and talk to him talking about their time in the league or whatever, so just any of it, not getting face time with people and not understanding the person that you're about to hand money to for you, whether it's a traffic or whether it's a free agent is tough for a team because what you're really trying to assess is who is this player? What does he do? And how does he fit within my locker room? And we can all tell if a guy could block or throw or catch a ball or whatever, but you don't know if that person is going to be somebody who takes football seriously. Or somebody who's just using it as a means to an end. Yes, I'll go back to it, and you know this as well as anybody, Then it right, You start Melissa's well. Is it like many things, there's a relationship business. So this is where hopefully George Payton and the rest of the staff, but George specifically can rely on his relationship. The relationships with agents and people around the league. Now, you can only trust an agent so far, but they're certainly agents that you would trust more than others right that they're They're also looking out for the best interest of their client. And assuming you're not the only first offering their client a job. They're gonna want their client in in a place where they will be the right fit and thrive because that only benefits them as an agent. I know this talking some agents after George Payton was hired and talking to some players who asked their agents about him. They said that he's a good guy, right? The report keeps coming back, so it's gonna be different. But I also think that the Broncos in a lot of ways are in good shape with their young roster that they do need to bolster some areas, But they don't need a complete roster overhaul. Like some of the places where the shot Watson Manda, he wants to go to the Jets. We've heard That roster is terrible, right? There's like five guys that every team would want and beyond. That is like yes, I think that guy so they're gonna be in a much tougher spot. You have to Shawn Watson has a big recruiting. That's a really good point. I think that needs to probably be mentioned more often, and I know George Payton mentioned in his press conference. But I mean, for all the hand wringing about the results of the last few years, we can all agree that the roster and the cap Is in pretty good shape for what he's taking over versus some of the other teams around the league that are old and they are heavy, and they're not gonna be able to get out of it very quickly. Okay, As always, man, Thank you so much for the time. I really appreciate it. You guys can't wait to do it with you in person next year and mobile safe travels back home. I appreciate that man will talk to you next week. Brannan crystal RK AWAY. BRONCOS INSIDER brought to us by Coloradans for responsible energy development. Learn how natural gasses are clean energy.

"About Fabio. He's gotta win this year. So he'll probably have some influence in there. He might be going. Hey, you know, we need to make a trade for Matthew Stafford, or to Shawn Watson, because if they if they have another year Like they just had he's gone. If if you're going to stay the course, which you have just suggested, might be the most likely course for George Payton to take and then try to rebuild developed, you know, draft and developing Get more good players and so forth. And so on, then you have to Come have come to the conclusion. That With the same coaching staff. And arguably the same system. And the same quarterback. And pretty much the same offense of players. That you're not going to be 30 seconds in turnovers that that was just a blip on the screen of youthfulness. Next year. You're going to cut that number in half that you're gonna be middle of the pack in turnovers or a little bit better. You have to have come to that conclusion. And I The only way you come to that conclusion is to say same coaches. Same system, same quarterback. But drew lock they're going to coach him a little bit better. Andrew's going to be more mature and his decision making is going to improve dramatically. Just because it's another year in the league. You have to think that he's got a shot to take that next step. Like Josh Alan did After his rookie year. And also Factor in the injuries. We're not gonna have another year like we just had with injuries. And let's see what he can do. And if it doesn't work, George Peyton's got nothing to lose. Josh Allen improved from year one to your three What They changed offensive coordinators. They got Stefan digs. They added some pieces and it's a different system. Yeah. Mind. I'm saying you're.

"Payton as he takes the reins of the Denver Broncos, whether he will or he won't have John Elway breathing down his neck. For the purposes of our discussion today is a relevant If you want to have that separate discussion, we can Whether it's George Payton or John Elway or the brain trust at Dove Valley. They have some decisions to make when it comes to They're pending free agents because as good of financial shape as the Broncos Aaron with the cap, and there are pretty good there in a pretty good spot. If they stick with drew lock. If they don't stick with your luck. If they decide to go the veteran quarterback route and I'm not talking Jamis Winston Marcus Mario to hear I'm talking big Carson Wentz, Matt Stafford, Matt Ryan, Dak Prescott, Jimmy Garoppolo. These guys that are gonna fetch a not only Well, you have to give up something of significance to get them, but you'll end up having to absorb quite a large salary. For all intents and purposes, what the Broncos have now in salary cap space. Without Justine Simons signed without Von Miller signed Phillip Lindsay. Or Shelby Harris. They have the amount of money it would take for them. To bring in a Matthew Stafford. Or a Carson Wentz or a Dak Prescott. So if you decide that that's the route of the Broncos decide that's the route they're going. Then it becomes a one in one out scenario. You want to bring back Shelby Harris. You gotta cut drill. Casey, you want bring back Ah, von Miller. DACA AJ boy you want? Bring back Justine Simons, You gotta cut Ah! Cream, Jackson. Like it doesn't have to be those exact guys. But Once you use up the rest of your salary cap space, bringing in Veteran quarterback. That is paid like a franchise Q B You're going to have to basically cut a player. For each one of these pending free agents that are going in going to probably fetch a decent amount on the open market. Some calculations have had Justine Simons about 15.5 million. And George Payton said yesterday. That one thing that he wants to make sure they the Broncos do under his reign. Is not lose their best young players. And said that specifically about Justin's in While John Elway couldn't get a deal done with Justine Simons, perhaps George Payton camp Justine Simons is at the top of the priority list for George Payton and John Elway. In my opinion, as he probably should be. That's probably the number one guy that is due to be a free agent that you want to bring back. If you bring in a franchise quarterback and you bring back Justine Simons, you got cut somebody. Oh, and by the way, you're probably gonna have to let von Miller, Phillip Lindsay and Shelby Harris Co I'm not trying to deter anybody. If you're somebody who thinks that drew off, ain't it And you want the Broncos to go out and get a veteran quarterback? You and Ira of of the same mind or let's say to Sean Watson. Because we may disagree on Matthew Stafford or cards wins, or we all agree on to Shawn wants in. Right, and he just signed his extension. I don't know if it kicks in this year. But for argument's sake, let's say that We can all agree with this. John wants and so if you're trying to bring into Sean wants in who's going to be paid? 25 to $30 million somewhere in that range. You know you can't afford all of these guys. I think that's the best way for the Broncos. Best route for the Broncos to go. Not just just John Watson, which is everybody's best route to go. But even to me and Matthew Stafford, if they don't You know? Achieved the pipe dream of landing to Shawn Watson. Then to me, Matthew Stafford should be the next guy on their list. So I'm okay with the repercussions when it comes to the salary cap. So I said what I would do Is I would Bring in Matthew Stafford or save the money for a veteran quarterback. I would bring back Simmons and von Miller. How is Tyler? You know Points out. If they move on from bond that's going to free up some space. It will it'll free up right now. It frees up 22 million, but I'm telling you that Freeing up bond right now. That's the original figure that came to 32 million. So if you're thinking Well, if we let Vongo Broncos get even more in cat, No, that's what it would be. You let von Miller go. You do not pick up his team option. You have $32 million and cap space to start. Free agency in the draft. So the guys that you will be releasing in order to free up more room would be cream. Jackson General Casey Age. A boy, Bryce Kallen. So if I'm looking at, I set aside the money for veteran quarterback Bring back Justine Simons. And I bring back von Miller. If his If its problems with Parker police become real problems and legal things. Then? I don't know. I think that makes the Broncos Let's presume innocence until proven guilty. On Miller's innocents of it..

And this is bumming me out each have 34.3% and then in second place, wait and see as 31.4%. So this is a very, very title. Okay, You continue to vote over the next 24 hours, and we'll know what the Winner of the poll. Question is tomorrow. Do we know how the poll results ended yesterday, Kouf? We do not. But I could look that up s O. Coover normally would be on the other side of the glass eye being able to handle all these sorts of things, but now he's also over there, pushing the buttons at the same time. We got a boy be large, who's standing behind him? He's kind of been following along to see how exactly complicated it is dealing with us on the other side of this glass of which could be a challenge. What was the poll question yesterday? Yesterday's poll. Of course we had George Payton on yesterday. The new Broncos GM And it's surrounded him and his decision coming up If you were George Payton, would you trade three first round draft picks? Andrew Lock for two Shawn Watson and we had a ton of oats and yes, came out on top. It's 63.7%. No, was 36.3%. I'm going to say this right now. We have an intelligent audience that rolls with us that votes on those poles. Because let me tell you something. There's nothing like settling your franchise quarterback position once a quarterback knows how to play. You can depend on that guy for at least 10 years. I mean, 10 years of stability at that position, and you don't have to even worry about it anymore, so Um, I agree that if that was offered up, that would be a good exchange. And here's what's interesting about it. Because I've been keeping my ear to the ground. A little bit is damn quiet. But when it's quiet like this, it does tell me that there's probably some stuff that's going on in the background. And I don't mean with the Denver Broncos. I mean in general. It's gotten pretty quiet. But here's what I can tell you. I just talked to a buddy of mine who does a show down there in Houston. Uh, who told me today? That, um Shawn Watson has said even if Eric the enemy Is hired his head coach. He's still going to need some time to think about. The front office and what's going on there? So I mean, this thing is, I mean right now, from all accounts, the New York Jets Um, Miami Dolphins. Those two franchises are in the hunt. But here's one that I heard that I thought was really good. Well, did you see that The Broncos were like 13 Odds Hold hold on 30. And I'd like to be in this equation. But this is the one I heard that I thought was the best. Urban Meyer as the number one overall pick. The number one overall pick. Do you want this Shawn Watson or some unknown commodity? No. You would want You would want to show Watson do you? Do you want the unknown commodity? That's you know, in trouble lines. Um, who's widely accepted as the number one overall pick. And two number. Just call it too. Number ones from the Jacksonville Jaguars two number twos from the Jacksonville Jaguars. And they get the John Shawn Watson. You like that trade? Yeah. Ah, lot. That's a great trade. That is a really good trade. Well, that immediately makes it Um Because you don't again The unknown commodity is still you just don't know And you don't know if you've got the right personnel around how that quarterback's gonna perform at that level. So there's a bunch of questions that Are still going to be unanswered until you answer that one. You put a bonified starting QB one in that questions answered. You also know how he plays. So therefore, you know, if you've got the personnel or now you could build around what you need to do around a guy like that. So I would say, get that by the way, That's way too smart. It's never gonna happen, E. Do you know what I'm saying? That's way too smart to say we're gonna have There's a lot of maybe it's quiet around here now that, uh George Payton has been introduced. But I'm just letting you know, man. They're gonna be a ton of bids for the services of the Shawn Watch in the Bronco should be involved. I'm just letting you know the Broncos should be involved. And I don't think that number nine pick And you know, we would have to give up three number ones. The three first round draft picks in three second round draft picks. I mean, that's a lot, and that's by the way in for Brandy general manager that has been highly successful building the team through the draft. Those things carry a lot more value to a guy like that, then they made to others. If your legacy is leaving the team in good standing and in good order, Let's just say George Payton has his job for six years. Let's just say there's a ownership change. Okay, let's just say that That's a possibility and we haven't ownership change and we have the Shawn Watson and we have a new direction for the entire franchise. Uh, what's what's the issue what we're talking about here? I mean, what are we talking about here? I mean, we're talking about an unprecedented time in the NFL What we have to NFL franchises that don't have A new owner for say, Now we understand the Green Bay Packers is owned by the public city of Green, right? Well, just the fans, the fans. But two NFL teams are like What the Broncos are in. It's the Broncos and the Titans, where they don't have a single head of the Um, organization to say yes, I know. Because You know the Titans with the Adams family and the Broncos with the bowling family. They haven't come together and said, This is the person that's gonna lead so the NFL is saying it's time now. So I looked for a movement. I look for movement on both franchises in the next year. I agree. I think I think is, you know the NFL came out last year and said that You know, said as much way have to get this resolved. It's been going on way too long. So If you're the new owner, Would.

The pride of Arkansas Monticello. We gotta make sure we mentioned that. I'm sure we're gonna get some kind of Arkansas reference. When we have him on, But man I love his analysis at Eric underscore Crocker on Twitter. I mean, anything DVDs, anything quarterbacks? I mean, he's one of my go to guys He does a great job is fantastic job. Can't wait to talk to him. Find out maybe who are some names. We should be looking at it. We'll chop it up a little bit on Patrick's or tan, a guy. We kind of talked about a living on this show. Um, can we thought there it Yeah, and he did. A zoom call was not last night the night before, but he didn't zoom call recently. So I want to find out what he learned from that again. You know, there's so many people that look at these quarterbacks and especially the ones that go towards the top of the draft, and I don't think we put enough emphasis on fit. And that's one of the things that I've been studying a ton on somebody's senior bowl. Guys, the DBS that I've been looking at the Senior Bowl. I'm kind of looking at. I'm like, okay. What were they asked to do at their respective colleges? And how can that necessarily be? Teach tots to them. Or how can that be imparted on what they're going to be learning and playing here? You know, I'm saying because, like what you see a guy do at college. Well, maybe he wasn't asked to do the things that he'd be asked to do here to pro level. Can't really hold that against him, Right? That's what we talked so much about traits. I think who were evaluating guys from the jump from the college to the program? You never want to look the box scores look at the stats, but But we're here to talk about traits. What projects you know, because if it were all about the stats, we'd be talking about Cliff Kingsbury still is a starting quarterback in the NFL instead of instead of a head coach at this point, so you know, the thing to remember is do they have the traits that projected on? Can they use those? And do they get the right fit for those? That would be fun to talk to him about that? Definitely. We'll have brandy crystal RK Way. Broncos insider on a little later on, he had a great question today. Torto George Payton, the Broncos GM about what he was asking about Pat Shurmur, But he actually ended up getting a great answer. And Vic Fangio will actually hear that coming up here and just a little bit, But you know, it's starting to kind of sync in, at least for me, Ben. That George Payton might have chosen this job in part Because of Vic Fangio. A lot of people are so quick to say he's gonna be looking to move on his fastest possible and and I understand there's a certain sector of fans out there right now that just don't believe it fans. You will make that leap to be the head coach that this team needs. But, you know, keep in mind. George Payton chose this team after what over a decade of interviewing for GM jobs. There's a specific reason he chose this team. The makeup of this team, including the former GM, still being part of the decision making and the head coach being in there as well. So I guess a lot of people that are sort of quick too. Assume certain things about Vic Fangio's future. I don't know the way he talks about him, like not only to Denver broncos dot com, but even the press conference today I'm starting to think that George Payton wanted chosen the Broncos in part because of the banjo. Yeah, I think he did. I think I think he chose this job. Partially because of Vic Fangio. Not in spite of Vic Fangio. I mean, George Payton has plenty of experience they would head to head with Chicago bears. You got to see You know what Vic Fangio Defense's could do up close and personal. You gotta you know, cutely aware of the mind of Vic Fangio from that regard, and so there's got to be a professional regard there for him as well. You're gonna have a certain segment, the fan base that's gonna be upset, no matter what if they if they fired John L if they don't fire John Elway. If they bring in a new guy, he's a puppet. If it's if they don't get a quarterback his team wants to lose. If they do get a quarterback, it's the wrong one. They spent too much. It's all spurred on by hot take radio guy. They all they come aircraft. These ridiculous narratives. None of them ever make any sense, but they get people to buy into it. And then you know, we go on. We have to dispel that misinformation that they You know, they put out one of my favorites was her last 13 or four years or whatever. I take radio's been telling us how bad John Elway socks, right. They don't always sucks. You can't draft teams. Terrible. La blah, blah. We got a fire. We got fired, right? And so now they're trying to convince us that we need to go out. Get shot, Watson, Right, Which is not gonna help me. Just tell you it's not gonna happen, but they're telling you that and the shot would totally want to come here because it's a stack roster that's ready to go. Well, which one is it? Pick a lane. You know, I take radio out of one side of them out there telling you always sucked. It couldn't draft on the other side their mouth and tell you the team is stocked with talent. So it Z what people get for listening to all this. This is garbage out there. That's that's why I love the fact that we do and informative show that's entertaining. And the information in the fax come first in the entertainment just happens to be. Ah, part of it right. I find you very entertaining. I appreciate that. So what were some of your general takeaways from the press conference today? It sort of seemed like it lined up with a lot of the things we've been kind of telling people a little bit. On this show for a while. They can't see my face right now at the house, but I have definitely doing the the open eyes condescending. Look over my nose. Kind of look right now. Yeah way. Told you kind of what The plan was on this show. We're not just talking just to hear ourselves talk. You know, like we're here to be a condo with information you guys and you might not like what it is that that I'm saying you might not agree with why they're going about doing it. But we're going to give you the what they're doing portion of it, And we've done that. We did it last year when everybody else is, you know, when tackle bro was talking about taking an offensive tackle in the first round. We were telling you they were going receiver and probably going receiver twice. And, uh, you know, early in the top 100, they were definitely gonna go receiver twice and sure enough, they did. Um, you know, and then the officer tackle what a priority that they've seen movement out of Gary poles, and he liked what they saw. Everybody else was telling us that they need a punk Garrett Bowles and were saying decided, you know so on this show, and I realized that a lot of back patting right now, but I'm just I'm frankly, I'm sick of it, because I see social media and I have to deal with it every day, and I'm just going to say if you want the information, you know, where did everybody who wants Information on with the Broncos gonna do elsewhere to go. They wouldn't wanna cry. They got a whole radio station for that at the dial somewhere one of things that I was struck by and it was great.

"Even if von Miller and Justine Simons Back and play well. If the quarterback play is subpar, or do you like this place like you played this year? It's not gonna be good enough. Even adding von Miller back to this mix and adding, Cortland said. I wouldn't think when you look at 10 win. Teams don't get into the playoffs like the Dolphins, right? So I think that the priority and maybe they're not looking at it because they don't have to in terms of timing, but What George Patton's plan is a quarterback, along with big fans. You and Pat Shurmur is going to matter. And I'm curious to see what George Payton impacts rumors relationship means and how much Pat As it relates to how much pats influence there How much influence that has on who the quarterback might be if they want to look outside the building for another viable starter, not just somebody to compete with Drew, but somebody that they would put ahead of her like, say, a max effort. I'm just throwing that name out there. So that's why you're still the number one priority in terms of Overall football success. If you want to rank like what's sitting on George Peyton's desk when he gets to get to work tomorrow, you're right. Well, especially with this news this afternoon, it probably is figuring out what is von Miller's future in Denver. And you got to think that by the way, if George Payton is gonna be starting tomorrow, you got to think that he's already got his short list of guys that he wants to talk to to be that right hand right hand man, And maybe he's even, you know, had those conversations before he took this job. Yeah, I think so. Especially because look, you just always assumed that it's going to be someone that you bring with you. Well, there's a chance that you've met someone along the way or you have interactions because you keep calling them to make a trade or ask them about somebody who's hitting the street or steal someone from their practice squad.

We saw what happened how perfectly it worked for the Miami Dolphins. Right worked really well. Brian floor is pulled to, uh, in a couple of games and Ryan Fitzpatrick came in and worked. And I believe I said AP through the No look pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick against the Raiders. I said, How about drew lock for three quarters and bring him Ryan Fitzpatrick in the fourth?

Just feels like If they're gonna bring in a quarterback, That's who they would bring in. I feel that way. What the bigger story is How this all effects to a Do you pull him a couple of times? You have success when you pull him. And then there's the rumors that dish on Watson Wants to come to Miami. A lot of questions around, too. And also around Brian Florist in the Dolphins. Did they ruin to a Well, it's too early to tell if They have ruined him. But Brian floor is still feels good about too apparently. Told ESPN he thought he made a lot of improvement over the course is season and he's excited about the future with them. And Chris career, the general manager of the Dolphins last week. Said. Who is their starting quarterback? I feel like it's a Noda. Type of thing. Get it the rookie year. You do something you didn't bring him in immediately. You waited a little bit. You brought him in for a cameo, then. He didn't play and then you brought him in full time And now you're playing like the rookie years the time where you could do some of that stuff, But now it's time to commit. You're going to get a full off season. Yes, Cove. It is still going to be around. It's not gonna be in normal offseason. I don't think although, by the time we get to the summer could things get better? Who knows? But even if We're still dealing with the same stuff we're dealing with. Now You've had a You've had one training camp in a pandemic. You can have a second one, and you can make adjustments. There's going to be no excuse here about learning curves and whatever whatever. Who was being played in the league. It's time to commit to him fully. You do that kind of stuff. Pull them in the game. Try to teach him something. Mess around his rookie year year too. I think you got to be all in Onto us. It sounds like they are We'll see. 5 to 29872.

"Right, So Urban Meyer isn't the only former high profile head coach finalizing a new deal today, as reports continue indicate that it's only a matter of hours until Bill O'Brien is officially named the new offensive coordinator at Alabama. Ob seeks career revitalization. After disastrously crashing out of his all encompassing leadership role with the Texans Buyer Cell, Bill O'Brien will ultimately wind up with another NFL head coaching opportunity. NFL head coaching opportunity NFL. Yeah, I think you will. I mean the fact it's a tough call because I've made the case the last few days and I'm sure I'll make it in the days ahead when urban gets the job, But that is a leap. It isn't usually successful, but Bill O'Brien was the offensive coordinator for a Patriots team that was really impressive back in the day. He obviously was a head coach for Texans organization where it didn't work. But he had that experience. Pete Carroll failed miserably miserably with the Patriots before going to college, returning. And we've seen that working for Nick Saban. And that specific job resurrects careers that have been much more dire in their position than Bill O'Brien's. And I happen to know Bill O'Brien's agent was a very impressive guy. So yes, I think Bill O'Brien will be back in the National Football League and 3 to 4 Year. 2 to 4 year timeline. In the last segment. We talked about the Lions new general manager. There is also a new GM in Denver. Now is the Broncos have settled on George Payton. It was a member of the Minnesota Vikings front office. Payton is a respected figure around the league so much so that he's turned down at least six GM interview request from teams over the years and removed himself from consideration for the Browns gig. Last year. He was given a six year contract and is expected to rise to full decision making power after John Always contract expires. Ah, year from now by yourself. The transition from Elway to Peyton I'll be a smooth and.

"Center today as George Payton. I could not have that conversation about how we pronounce his name. George Payton has been hired as the new GM for the Denver Broncos, and he got a six year deal, according to all reports. Why is six years important? Because it says, we're not going to be hasty in making a move. If things aren't going smoothly, right out of the gate, or, you know there's a hick up in the middle that they want to give him time to have not only grow into the job, but Allow the team in a staff to grow around him, and hopefully for all six of those years. He's working with Vic Fangio because that means they're winning a lot of women a lot of games and competing in the playoffs and hopefully for championships, But we saw the six year deal. I can't swear that was the first time we ever saw it. But in recent years, both Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch signed six year deals, and that was because the Niners were sick of the turnover they had with their coaching staff, and even the Transvaal could have been the GM. Yeah. John, We're bringing you in here, Jed York said. Well, you're gonna let you grow in these roles together. And then after they went to the Super Bowl last year h I believe signed six year extensions. Kyle signing it first. And then John signing as well. So six years is saying, Hey, it's not the stand. I feel like standard contracts for Saving Fangio or Vance Joseph in lots of lots of folks. There are four years and usually by about that third year we have an idea if you're gonna be extended or not. And so it's saying that this is your team to run George Payton. We Feel confident the higher and we want to let you Have time to really grow in this job. You know, I know what the numbers are for the NFL. What are the numbers that surround the GM? Are they much different than the head coaching numbers? Because the head coach number is usually come in somewhere around. In today's NFL six million to $8 Million. What are the numbers for that job for the Denver Broncos? That's a good question, Alan. I think you could look John Elway's deal, and I think John is making around six. There's a good chance that George Payton isn't making that. In fact, it's probably I would guess it's maybe maybe half that, but it's certainly going to be a step up from whatever he's making with the Vikings. You have to think even though he was the number two guy, there's a he had two titles, assistant GM and vice president of player personnel But it doesn't pay what I think Coaches get paid. Um at the same time, there's typically more stability. You know, I talked to Tom. Hello, Sarah from NFL Network is based in Minnesota. It was funny. I was talking to him this morning was gonna put it on the Broncos daily podcast which ultimately did But it was within the hour of George Payton getting the job So we're talking In general terms, and it was a similar conversation to one that I've had with you guys about how rare it is. I think it was the one that brought it up to you guys as well last week how rare it is that you would have this many GM openings usually on this money, Jim Openings over multiple years, let alone in a single in a single year. So there were options out there, which meant to the Broncos. They couldn't lowball this offer to Peyton. Um, but he's had a dozen opportunities in recent years to go other places whether he was one of the top candidates or even offered the job or pulled his name out before he got the job offer to him, And he he finally chose this one, which maybe said something about What he thinks the Broncos have here, and he called him a sleeping giant in the statement that was released. Okay, So let me ask you this because now that we've got the head coach and in big Alan, I talked about this at the beginning of the show. Now the business comes of you got some players. You gotta figure out what you're going to do with. But don't you need your player personnel guy before that is that the next higher I think that's absolutely the first hire that he'll make it helps with the coaching staff is intact and barring anything crazy happening, staying in tax. You don't don't worry about that at all. And the Broncos clearly like their director of college scouting in Brian Start, That's why they just met with him. You look at the Broncos draft class the last couple years and he certainly is going to get whatever credit you want to give him, but it's been It's been really you could say, even going back to 2017 now because Garrett Bolles within that draft class on, so you hit on that first round pick, but certainly the 19 and 20 draft classes. You feel really good about in 18. You got Radley chub, among others s O u feel good. I got to think that he keeps his Giger gets promoted. But his right hand man is gonna be the next job they hire and You heard that? Maybe Jamal Stevenson, who's a guy that's in charge of college scouting in Minnesota, could come with him. He could also get promoted of George Peyton's job, so you may not just be as available for the Vikings. The Let him come join George here in Denver champ Kelly's name that we've heard. But champ is still in the mix for other GM jobs, and so until he's ruled out of those, I don't know if you would take this job until its final that he's not getting, say the Carolina job, which I know he's Been in conversations about 15 people talkto the Panthers, but until he's ruled out, I don't know if you would take this job unless he can read the writing on the wall and realizes this is a step up. He's essentially the number three guy in Chicago and we know there's instability there, even if GM Ryan Pace, and now you're going back for another year. We don't know how long we'll be there, but, yeah, you're absolutely right. Joe. That's got to be the first job is still the senior Bulls 10 days from now. So you want you're gonna want some of your own guys. They're beyond just people that have been here. Although I bet you they do keep more people than you'd be, Uh Then you may be expecting a new GM comes in. All right, that's OK away. Broncos is sadder Brandy crystal being brought to buy Coloradans for responsible energy development. More for BK on the other side. It's big Gala. Jo Jo, This is K away news. Radio traffic..

Broncos reach deal with Vikings' Paton to be GM
"The Broncos have hired Vikings personnel man George Payton to become the 13th, general manager in team history. They'd has spent 14 seasons in Minnesota, he worked with members of the current Broncos coaching staff. Here's a K a way NFL insider Benjamin Albright. From the pro player personnel side of the House and the college scouting side of the house. He was integral in working with Pat Shurmur.

"I just think when the when the lion situation came up and Darrell Bevell came opened, I think they're probably gonna wind up going back to that. Honestly, I think you could see a situation there where they go back to that are you know there's other ways to go. I just I Pete Carroll, it's It's so weird because they want to run the ball. Like their philosophy is to run the ball. So you firing. The guy wants to run the ball it that I don't you know the whole thing just kind of messing with me a little bit. They say there's philosophical differences. I think Brian Schottenheimer wanna let Russell the ball a little more and be character them didn't Yeah, It's one of those things where you look at their group of running backs. He's okay. They've got some players, but they've got a top three quarterback for my money. If I'm drafting quarterbacks, I'm not getting probably past three with with Russ, at least at this point, and so and now that he has became Metcalf and some other nice pieces. It makes locket and Maura lot better because that guy was so darn good. That you would expect that what you saw earlier was gonna be there approached the whole way, but it almost seems like they regressed. Let's keep it close. And then hopefully Ruskin can cook later, as you said there, Ben, but I just don't want to see Russell's talent muted and it feels like that's kind of what Pete wants to do. Even if he's saying he doesn't want to. With Brian Brian Schottenheimer anymore. Yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see what they ultimately do there, and I mean again, you're right there. A lot of people are saying let rescue let Russ cook. But there were times when he would make mistakes. And, and he certainly is a much better quarterback with a talented running game, including Chris Carson when he's being utilized effectively. Let's go to the Broncos here because a lot of people are kind of waiting with bated breath. What's gonna happen with the GM today? We found out that they had an early zoom call with Terry. Fuck. No. And then George Payton came to town and he was here for a little while. When? What are you hearing right now, with the latest in the GM search? Well, I think there's a couple things. Font. No, is a guy that really impressed them that they didn't is that they don't know what to expect. They just didn't go into with any real expectation. I think what? I heard talking people that I trust. Is it, champ. Came in and maybe impress them more than that. They were hoping for a more than maybe they expected because you see somebody a certain way, you know, it's kind of an old saying may be in a lot of a lot of businesses. But right now you and I can speak to this in our business. That the best way to get a job or to impress your bosses to go get a job across the street and film. You can do the job and so with champ leaving. I think that Jon and Joe probably now see the growth that he's had, and Vic only knew him in his role in Chicago. So With champ while he feels like a distant third, at least certainly firmly in third place. You had thought no impressing them. But Peyton was always a guy that they knew coming in, had the best credentials. He's a guy that I've been offered GM jobs, other places, and so if they messed with him philosophically, he was going to be the leader in the clubhouse, and I think he firmly remains that the thing is there's six openings right now. Or maybe it's five. If I guess. The Texans was six. I believe there's five openings and these guys are in play for other jobs. So the Bronco's can't wait too long if they decide they like 11 of them, But you know, I saw Ben's tweeting and I had mentioned something similar last week or, I guess was that Friday that I think they wouldn't mind having Rob. I'm sorry, robs his nephew George Payton and Champ Kelly here as a combo, potentially or maybe even terrified, known champ Kelly as a zoo combo, But, uh, you know, it's a long minute answer to say, I do think this is gonna happen quickly because those names are in play elsewhere. If they like one of them, and let's just say, for the sake of conversation. It's George Payton. They don't want to wait a day or two for the Lions to get a second interview with him, Don't mean it won't happen anyway. You may be on his way to Detroit by tomorrow. Who knows? But I think that they if those were the three names have zeroed in on and it's one of those two. They got second interview. They're gonna want to pull the trigger sooner than later. Yeah. I think this decision is gonna come this week. I don't think that you're going to let everybody get away and then be stuck with well, who do we settle on? The Broncos don't wanna be that organization will be perceived as that organization. I also don't think George Payton. Getting out of the building today is an indicator that he's second to Teri fought in order Anything else? I think they just want diligence across the board. I saw a lot of speculation about that on Twitter that a lot of speculation on, uh, nonsensical speculation on what George Payton would do with the quarterback position. That was reported fact is trying to say that he didn't you know, I'm gonna bring in a free agent. You say goodbye to drew locked all this other stuff. First of all that had been decided second, well paid work on the pro player personnel side of the house. Of course. He was involved in free Agent acquisition quarterback for the Vikings. And third of all, the Vikings drafted plenty of rookies in that span. Ponder Tamara's Jackson. What's the other one of missing Teddy Bridgewater s o, You know, e think people need to calm down. I understand. Everybody wants to information wanted now, But how about we have a little patience? Let this thing play out. Well, I I think that's a great point, then and one. They're they're respecting the process to themselves. Right? It's different when you have a free agent in the building, and you say, we're not letting him leave. That's because this is a guy that you want to help your football team on the offense or defense. I guess special teams that we don't really do You hear those stories where the kicker wasn't allowed to leave a city or a building, But you don't want a guy to get back on the phone with his agent to go to the hotel or to make his way out of town. If you want to add them to your roster, and you don't want them talking. The other team's about more deals and Bring it. Play out longer you want You wanna get that deal done. I think this is a little different because this is such an important job. Right? You're you're read your reshaping the entire football operation. I understand you're gonna get rid of everyone top to bottom on the team side on the scouting side on the personnel side. All of that, but Philosophically. There's going to be an adjustment in the change. You want people. They're gonna match up with you. I think In the big picture sense and gonna help pick the players that he wants. And the guy that Jo Alice is gonna be proud to let run the team and John Elway right under him for as long as John's around, but You don't want to just because you had a guy in the building said, Hey, we have to sign him because he may go to the lines. And something tells me that Even if George Payton does get an offer from the Lions, he will let the Broncos no. Assuming that there's a chance he wanted. He wants one job more. The other vice versa. The Broncos making an offer, he'll let the lines no. Hey, the Broncos offered me a four year contract for this Do you guys want Imagine we want to talk about this is Agent will obviously you would think, but S Oh, yeah, I'm with you, Ben. I don't think you read too much into it. If it goes a week or two, and they haven't made any moves, and you say, Okay, what are they doing if they had more zoom interviews with either of these candidates or personal or added candidates? We saw her. Detroit was talking more people today for the first time. There's nothing wrong with that, either..
