Bly Signs Extension with Broncos
 

PFT reports that NFL Network is reporting that Bly signed a contract extension with the Broncos. Well, at least one rumored trade is put to bed.

Re: Bly Signs Extension with Broncos
 

So what's next for a CB?

Is anyone else not satisfied with the status quo?

Does anyone else know what free agent CB's are available?

Was Joey from blossom gay?

If Springs is 100% I'm fine with our corners as is.

Agreed. Bly only wanted to come here for a payday, he's pushing 30, and we just added Smoot. He wouldn't have been worth the 5-7 year deal he wanted. Springs has got to be healthy though. And that is a big IF.

Even if he is, do you see all of our corners maintaining 100% health all season long?

I really think we need something else. Maybe our lack of corner depth the past couple years has made me paranoid, but I want one more veteran.

If it's not available, it's not available. I can't see Springs playing the entire season uninjured though. Don't forget Smoot has had his history of injuries as well.

RVD420 is going to be very disappointed that he can't start ANOTHER thread about trading for Bly.

5 years, 33 mil including 16mil guaranteed!

nice pay for a 30 yr. old cb.

I hope this doesn't impact their cap $ to the point that they no longer want to trade up w/us.

I agree that one more veteran would create a little more peace of mind. Smoot had a tendency to get a little dinged up too, not to mention Springs' history and Prioleau coming off an ACL. But Bly would have been too pricey. Who else is still out there in the corner market?

Re: Bly Signs Extension with Broncos
 

Ole SLY BLY was just doing what everyone else in the league just happens to do. Use us as bargaining power.

If SS can stay healthy I think we are in fairly good shape at corner.

Re: Bly Signs Extension with Broncos
 

Bly was still a steal in my mind. To put up those numbers on that bad of a team is impressive at the corner position. I'd rather him than briggs personally. Springs staying healthy is not an option, cause it never happens. And anyone who watched the skins knows that neither smoot nor rogers can keep up with #1 receivers in this league. We gotta pick.....good pass rush, or good coverage, right now we have neither, and arent addressing either one.

Re: Bly Signs Extension with Broncos
 

Now we can focus on drafting Amobi Okoye.

Good point. You would think they'd have passed that threshold long ago.

Hopefully the hype surrounding LaRon Landry keeps up, and other teams (Atlanta, Carolina) are willing to move up.

Yeah, I agree. Now that Bly is off the table, it looks good compared to the Briggs deal. If for no other reason than our secondary has bigger question marks than the linebackers do.

Come to think of it, was that deal (Bly + the Broncos 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for Springs and our #6) ever really official? At #21, you probably lose out on the top tier defensive linemen, but I could stomach that with all the other selections better than I could Briggs and the 31st pick .

Re: Bly Signs Extension with Broncos
 

is there a such thing as a sign and trade, kind of like the nba? and as long as springs stays healthy, which is a big if, the corners are fine

[quote=dmek25;292381]is there a such thing as a sign and trade, kind of like the nba? and as long as springs stays healthy, which is a big if, the corners are fine[/quote] Yeah, All I'm saying is that we need to make another move. I'm not content with what we have, there is no way we finish the season with Springs, Smoot, and Rogers all healthy.

If they were all robots, then yes.. I'd be content, but they won't last. We'll find something, no doubt, I'm just saying I think it's a high priority.

Re: Bly Signs Extension with Broncos
 

Draft Calvin Johnson and move Brandon Lloyd to DB

Re: Bly Signs Extension with Broncos
 

Our secondary will be fine. We need D-line heip. If we do something STUPID during the draft I will just puke.

[quote=SmootSmack;292389]Draft Calvin Johnson and move Brandon Lloyd to DB[/quote]
I hate Lloyd so much. It's not even about football anymore. I just hate him. Like his soul.

Re: Bly Signs Extension with Broncos
 

Damn... I was holding out hope that we'd get him...oh well

Its a bit scary though w/ injury prone SS...

As for Free Agents left, Chad Williams seemed to have the best stats, and hes fairly young...might be worth looking at. Although he could only help by adding a little depth, he seems to have been a consistent backup, maybe he could help to keep SS, CR, and FS healthy by rotating in...

I really dont know anything about Chad, has he signed anywhere? Are his fairly impressive stats as a backup not indicative of his ability to contribute? Does he have any issues I'm not aware of? Would the redskins consider him? Is this list of questions annoying? Do I look like I care?

Re: Bly Signs Extension with Broncos
 

According to ESPN.com : [url=http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/fa?positionId=29&action=login&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fnfl%2ffa%3fpositionId%3d29]ESPN.com - NFL - 2007 NFL Free Agents[/url]

Chad Williams isn't a free agent.

The link gives a nice little list.

Re: Bly Signs Extension with Broncos
 

oops I guess the list I read was wrong.....Do you not have class tonight rob?

Re: Bly Signs Extension with Broncos
 

Good. Another hot topic bites the dust.

yeah no class... literally in both senses. zing!

yeah... i PM'd you, so give me a call.

Re: Bly Signs Extension with Broncos
 

Where's the outcry for the Broncos signing a 30-year old CB who is no longer one of the game's elite, if he ever was? Why is there no one screaming about how they just gave him a 5 year deal with an $18 million signing bonus?

Shanahan's a genius no matter how many goal line fades he calls on 4th and goal.

Re: Bly Signs Extension with Broncos
 

There's a mystical love affair the league and its viewers have for the Broncos. It is hard to figure out sometimes.

As long as they remain in some form of contention year in and year out, they're going to get a pass with their free agent spending sprees.

Good idea! Couldn't think of a better spot for BL.

Well maybe one.....one way ticket outta DC

Well a good pass rush can make mediocre corners look pretty good. Pass rush is the defensive cure-all. Even a good corner can only cover a guy for so long if no one is pressuring the QB.

Re: Bly Signs Extension with Broncos
 

then we keep springs and sit as is. the skins are fine at CB right now.

I think Joey was in a like, dentyne ice commercial a few years ago.

It was all these people real intense saying "whoa"... and then it went to him, but it wasn't obvious.

I don't know, maybe just wishful thinking, but thats ****ing genius marketing.

At least more attempts!

Re: Bly Signs Extension with Broncos
 

I like our guys. I would draft a guy in the later rounds to start learning our system.
