I really like the idea of bringing in Louis Vasquez. I haven't seem him as of late, but from 2011-2013 he was a borderline elite guard in this league. He has history with Coach Gase, and would not count against the compensatory formula as he was released. I expect us to land a 3 for Vernon and a 4 for Lamar.
To any CBA aficionados... would signing CJ (or any restricted free agent) count against the compensatory formula?
People still thumbs down if they disagree with your idea?
Sorry, that was an unintentional thumbs down.
Do you think schematically he's a good fit? Sounded like he wasn't one for Kubiak in his ZBS. I'd be fine with Zane Beadles, he stays healthy. As long as he's cheap. I trust Gase on these guards, he's worked with Beadles, Vasquez, and the less often mentioned Patrick Omameh. If he doesn't bring any of them in, says a lot about them imo. I think we'll start seeing a little movement once the CJ situation is resolved. As for RFA's, they do not work into the formula. C.J. will have no adverse affect on what we get.
Yes and no. I think he's a good enough player (at least the last time I gave him a look) to where he can make it work. I don't think he's a long-term solution, but he can stop the bleeding. That's for sure. Thanks for the tidbit of RFA's.
I REALLY like these 4 offensive line prospects I keep bringing up. I think they have All-Pro/ Pro Bowl potential:
Cody Whitehair Kansas State OG
Joshua Garnett Stanford OG
Jack Conklin Michigan State OT (can make the switch easily)
Ryan Kelly Alabama C (has enough ballast and girth to play guard)
The fact that denver has been totally quiet for this long makes me nervous
Yep...I think they do it.

Denver would be making a financial mistake if they matched Anderson's deal. I seriously doubt Elway is content on rolling with Sanchez - they have to bring another QB into the mix, whether it's Kaepernick or someone else.
The Broncos are likely doing this out of spite more than anything else.
The NFL Players Association puts Denver's cap at 11 million. OverTheCap projects 12 million, SpoTrac projects 13 million. Regardless of those numbers, matching that deal leaves Denver with around 6 to 7 million counting Anderson's first year of the deal. The Dolphins structured this deal with the purpose of being able to absorb the first year - and leaving Denver unable to.
