The player that hurts is Shelby Harris.
Why? He’s old. I would have asked for Dre’Mont Jones. He’s a legit pass rushing DT. Best player on your DL [Reply]
Smells like desperation. Russell is past his prime, he’ll be better than what they got, but it won’t amount to much in the end, maybe some more playoff appearances. [Reply]

Don't get me wrong - it's not a BAD trade for them. But it seems pretty desperate.
I haven't put much thinking into this, but if there's a new ownership group coming in for the broncos, I bet elway is desperately trying to sneak into a wild card spot with the hope that it'll save his job.
This is not a good look when you're welcoming in a new owner.

Hopefully this makes Veach get aggressive in the FA market. Sign a top WR, score 40 points a game.
Enjoy the rivalry, we still win.
Yep Veach needs to get aggressive and make a bit of a spalsh of his own. Dont be afraid to use some draft capital to fill the holes on this team with a statement. [Reply]

The Broncos last won a playoff game on 02/07/2016 [Reply]

Yep. Smells like something Ryan Pace would engineer. We've seen how that's working out for Chicago. [Reply]
