Poll

What should the Broncos look for in free agency?

One and done?

A record 14 players received the franchise tag from their teams, effectively taking them off the market but still leaving open the possibility of long-term deals.

Pos.Player Team

WR Antonio Bryant Tampa Bay
DE Julius Peppers Carolina

CB Dunta Robinson Houston

Free agency should begin fast and furious, as usual, tonight.

But it might then become slow and painful to those players not involved in the initial signing spree.

"When all the crazy deals are getting done . . . before it was two or three weeks. Maybe it is a week now," Tennessee Titans general manager Mike Reinfeldt said. "I think the whole thing shuts down much quicker."

In part, blame the economy.

Teams still want to get better, and even with 14 players receiving the franchise tag, there's still plenty of talent to entice NFL owners to open their wallets.

But in a nation, and a league, awash in cutbacks, free agency might be no different.

"I don't see as many big-dollar deals happening. That's just my opinion," Houston Texans general manager Rick Smith said. "I think you'll see teams being a lot more conservative."

A looming uncapped year in 2010 and limitation on base salary hikes will make the contracts that are done more challenging to structure. From a cash-flow standpoint, clubs might try to defer money on some big-money deals.

"Teams want to win and are going to go out and get the guys they need to win," player agent Todd France said. "Economics can always be an excuse if they don't get guys or whatever. But I don't think you're going to get unanimity across the board, where 32 teams are going to think one way or the other."

There's more cap room available to teams, given the hefty $123 million spending limit and better long-range planning by teams.

"But that doesn't mean there will be more cash," said agent Peter Schaffer, who has several clients hitting the open market, including Eagles tackle Tra Thomas. "And how teams are going to spend their cash and cap, I think, is something everyone's waiting to see.

"Some teams will make big splashes . . . but a historical analysis of free agency shows the teams that win in free agency are the ones that not only sign the Albert Haynesworths, but the midlevel free agents that come in at a more reasonable price and are productive players."

Indianapolis Colts president Bill Polian recently WAS quoted as saying the NFL historically HAS followed baseball's lead when it comes to the open market. That league's middle class of free agents largely HAS been left out in the cold.

Agent Mitch Frankel also views that as a potential indicator of the months ahead.

"There will be a steady week or two and then maybe a little bit of a lull, and then a lot of bottom fishing," he said.

We can rebuild them

Remember the opening to the old TV series The Six Million Dollar Man?

A battered Steve Austin, with parts missing everywhere, has virtually no hope of survival.

An expensive overhaul eventually turns him into a wrecking ball, strong and efficient.

The Broncos are trying to do the same with their team, especially the defense and all its missing parts.

And it's free agency that will begin pumping life into a situation that, while not exactly a bloody mess, is a considerable rebuild.

"We're after any player that's going to make us better, and that's going to be a very specific thing," Broncos coach Josh McDaniels said last week at the national scouting combine in Indianapolis.

"We don't want to bring in a bunch of players who don't really fit what we're going to do with them. . . . If we feel like they can help us improve in any area, in any phase, then we're going to be interested in them, whether that's through free agency or the draft."

Cap considerations won't be an issue on the open market. Cash on hand will be. But if McDaniels is to be believed, Denver won't be shy about spending owner Pat Bowlen's money in hopes of building a roster for the franchise's first playoff appearance since 2005.

The Broncos will be "as aggressive as we need to be," McDaniels said. "We're interested in a lot of things, and we have areas we can improve on. Like every team, we have holes to fill. And if there's a player who we feel will fill that, then we'll be aggressive in doing that."

The Broncos have had a spotty record in free agency in recent seasons. Signings such as Travis Henry, Sam Adams, Keary Colbert and Todd Sauerbrun weren't crippling individually but are symptoms of an ongoing malady of wasteful spending.

But McDaniels insisted history does not make it paramount the Broncos hit on players this time around.

"We can't control what's happened before. They've also done some good things in the past, too," McDaniels said. "It's a moving-forward process, and we're interested in players that are going to help us get better, and if they will, then that's a decision that will be made."

Five the Broncos will keep an eye on . . .

* DE Chris Canty, Dallas: If you're looking for statistical proof that Canty could be a necessary cog in Denver's rebuilt defense, you won't find it. But look closely at the numbers of the men playing alongside him. At Virginia, Daryl Blackstock led the Atlantic Coast Conference in sacks while playing next to Canty. In Dallas, Demarcus Ware paced the NFL with 20 sacks. And at 6-foot-7, 304 pounds, Canty holds the edge as a 3-4 end. But he's a self-professed "Bill Parcells guy," and Miami's looking.

* SS James Sanders, New England: The Broncos are nearly bereft at the safety position, and while Sanders isn't star caliber, he can deliver a hit, is only 25, and his familiarity with the Patriots' defensive philosophy is a big plus. Sanders doesn't figure to be a big-ticket item, either, with a glut of safeties on the open market. He's the type of middle-tier free agent the Broncos might try to acquire to restock the roster. But if the Broncos do decide to spend a little more cash, Miami's Yeremiah Bell makes sense as a rugged run stuffer.

* FS Sean Jones, Browns: It's a matter of taste among available defensive backs, given the numbers available. The New York Giants' James Butler, Oakland's Gibril Wilson and Tampa Bay's Jermaine Phillips have their merits, too. And the Broncos almost certainly will land one or maybe even two players at the position on the open market. Jones might have the most upside because he's 26 - as long as a knee problem that affected his 2008 season proves only minor. He has intercepted 14 passes during the past three seasons and has the versatility to play close to the line of scrimmage or as a ballhawking midfielder.

* ILB Bart Scott, Ravens: The Broncos will have a variety of options at outside linebacker, with Elvis Dumervil and Jarvis Moss shifting from the front four to outside linebacker if they can demonstrate an ability to drop in pass coverage, and D.J. Williams, Boss Bailey and Wesley Woodyard also in the mix. But the defense lacks an interior presence. With the draft deep at linebacker, inside linebacker might be the preferred route . But if the team is looking for a thumper to play between the tackles, Scott brings that physical presence, is well-versed in the 3-4 and has played under Mike Nolan in Baltimore.

* CB Jabari Greer, Bills: There will be interest at the position, whether it's Greer or free agents-to-be Ron Bartell (St. Louis) or Bryant McFadden (Pittsburgh). The Broncos need a solid cover corner given Dre Bly's release and the position is relatively thin in the draft except for a few options at the top. Greer has molded himself into a player and, at 27, is near his career prime. But the cost of any of the top corners will be steep, especially after Kelvin Hayden's $43.5 million contact with Indianapolis last week, especially since Denver already has a No. 1 option in Champ Bailey. But Greer has the mix of character and skills that McDaniels set as a prerequisite on the open market.

Five more the Broncos will watch . . .

* DE Igor Olshansky, Chargers: His longtime line coach, Wayne Nunnely, now is in Denver, though there are whispers he might not have been a huge fan of Olshansky's work ethic.

* NT Ronald Fields, 49ers: A potential stopgap option to go along with a drafted player at the position, given Haynesworth's prohibitive contract demands.

* DE Mike Wright, New England: Another familiar player that could help McDaniels in a transition year.

* DT Colin Cole, Green Bay: Along the lines of Fields in that he's big-bodied, doesn't have much of a resume but fills a need.

* CB Leigh Bodden, Detroit: It's hard to pick through the rubble of the Lions' winless season and find positives. But Bodden has skills and won't break the bank.

Big names who will land elsewhere . . .

* DT Albert Haynesworth, Tennessee: Can dominate a game from the middle of the line - and bust the bank, too.

* QB Kurt Warner, Arizona: Now that he has vowed to play, the Cardinals clearly are the front-runners for his services.

* WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Bengals: Has caught at least 90 passes for three years running and has 32 touchdowns in the past four.

* LB Ray Lewis, Baltimore: His longtime defensive coordinator, Rex Ryan, is coaching the Jets and the need is there.

* C Jeff Saturday, Indianapolis: He has helped organize calm up front for years while Peyton Manning flails and barks.

Hit-and-miss

Some of the Broncos' best free-agent signings during the past six years . . .

* Casey Wiegmann, center: Stabilized the line last season after Tom Nalen's knee went south.

* Daniel Graham, tight end: Has brought professionalism to the locker room in his return home.

* Jake Plummer, quarterback: Had limitations, but you can't argue with his record as a starter.

And some of the worst . . .

* Daryl Gardener, defensive tackle: More famous for his rants and IHOP runs than his play.

* Todd Sauerbrun, punter: Broncos knew they were taking a risk given his past - and got burned.

* Keary Colbert, receiver: Never could crack the rotation and was traded in September.

    Why is Tank Johnson not on this list?!!! He could be a great nt for our new 3-4 D. I would also love to see a Ward signing.

    To 6_is_the_new_7: Love your FA list. I don't really see the advantage in trading down in the draft though, particularly since many experts have us back in the mix to get B.J. Raji at 12. Maualuga was what many had us taking before, but he had a horrible senior bowl and combine. I liked his passion and hitting power, but I smell another Jarvis Moss here and if he was the best we could get at 12, sure trade down. But I think Raji has the potential to do for our D what Clady did for our O last year, and we should stay where we are if he's even a slight possibility.

    I agree with broncoflow that we should trade some of our lower picks for another 2nd rounder. Chung would rock. We need quality in our D not quantity. Also the more I think about it the more I salivate at the thought of Ward in our offense. I know I'm nuts to be thinking O right now, but I have the feeling he could put us over the edge.

    Cleveland ran a 3-4. Rogers played NT and did very well with 4.5 sacks on a bad D. He's supposed to count 10M against the cap this year. He'd be worth it if the number could be reduced somehow(closer to 7M or 8M). He'd be worth our 1st rounder if we could update his contract. 350lbs in the middle would be a great start.

    We need to trade the 12th pick for a late 1st & early 2nd. We have multiple holes to fill on D.

    I love Chung, Brace, & Jackson too! Delmas at FS would also be great. Plus get another late round NT to go with Brace.

    Rogers did well in Clevelands 3-4, but we need youth & quanity instead of the old Broncos BUST FAs. The article was really good, but didn't mention Gabe Watson as possible NT. He played in a 3-4 & is a RFA (4th round compensation). I was also hoping for Channing Crowder (young ILB) but he just resigned with the Dolphins. We need youth and talent with our FA picks.

    This doesnn't work. I wish people would would stop throwing out trade scenarios without doing the research to see if it works out. I gave a site with a draft pick value chart. Even if you add up our 4th, two 5ths, 6th and two 7ths it only gets us an extra 3rd. When you go around telling people we can get an extra 2nd, it gets their hopes up that it can happen. The only way we can get an EXTRA 2nd is to trade a player of value with picks or future picks.

    6_is_the_new_7,

    I couldnt agree with you more. I keep reading all these draft trade scenarios, but no one ever comes up with legit ones, nor does the research required that make a correct statement. I offered up this idea on the blog last night, dont know if you caught wind of it.

    As it stands right now I think the best bet would be to trade our #12 for a later 1st rounder and a second, 2nd rounder. If Sanchez or Stafford are available for whatever reason at #12 I think we would have a fairly good chance at trading with the Bucs. We could send our #12(Sanchez/Stafford) to the Bucs for there #19 and #50. Our #12 has a value in itself of 1200 and the Bucs #19 and #50 have a value together of 1275, not to mention they would leap frog over the Jets(also need a QB) and be able to get the QB that they desperately could use. If this option doesnt work we may be able to trade our #12 to the Eagles for there #21 and #53. The value of the Eagles two picks is equal to 1170 with our #12 again being a value of 1200. The only problem I see with this is that I cannot think of someone they desperately need enough to trade down from #21 to #12. Who knows really though it will all be decided on draft day I am sure.

    Broncos
    12 - 1200

    Eagles
    21 - 800
    53 - 370
    1170

    Bucs
    19 - 875
    50 - 400
    1275

    Folks, you don't trade the 12th pick if a stud is available there. It would be like having Cutler sitting there and then trading the pick. If you want to get deep in the draft, trade Champ for a 1 and a 2. I don't recommend it. He is the only guy on the team right now who can tackle.

    Ward is good, but I really like a hard nose guy like Peyton Hillis. Man that guy does not give up.

    Royal --
    I think you bring up some excellent ideas. I think that ideally, the broncos should move down.

    In a perfect world --
    1. Wait until draft day.
    a.) If Raji is available at 12, take him.
    b.) If Sanchez/Stafford starts to fall, trade back in the 1st with the Bucs/Bears/Vikings. Not sure exactly what how it would work out (too lazy to look up a draft chart), but I'm thinking our 1st (& maybe a 6th) for their 1st and second.

    2.Use our 1st on Malaluaga. Apparently he's slipping to the back of the 1st (poor Combine). This is great because I think he's a beast and I'd be happy with him at 12, but you have to be aware of league perception. If not him, I'd opt for a OLB -- English maybe.

    3. Package the 2nd just acquired with another pick (5th perhaps) to move up to the 1st 10 picks of the 2nd and pick Delmas or Chung.

    4. Use the other 2nd rounder on the best available player. Everyone knows the usual suspects -- Brace, Alphonso Smith, Hood, Sean Smith...etc

    Won't happen but a guy can dream, right?

    4) 2 OLB's that can rush and cover the pass, Not sure Moss can do it but I believe Dummervile will be a good fit due to his speed and strength.
    5) MLB Larsen looked really good last year, wouldn't surprise me to see him start, if not lets get a proven guy in there.
    6) Safeties we need two at least, need to be fast enough to make a difference in the passing game and must be able to make open field tackles consistently.

    Oh and by the way, many times teams trade back a spot or two not ten. N.O. and Houston may want someone not named Rey at 12. However, if we don't take him at 12, Wash. may at 13.

    If_U_Aint_1st_Youre_Last,

    I dont have time to go and view the value chart again, but our second as it stands now is worth 420. I am not sure what selections we have in the 5th but those picks are valued anywhere between 43 - 27. The highest pick in the 2nd is worth 580, with the 8th pick in the second, 40th overall is valued at 500, so I dont think we would be able to couple our 2nd with a 5th to move up more than a few spots in the 2nd. I like your idea there I just dont think it would work, however it all depends on what they can work out. I think that the Bucs are our best trade partners if Stafford or Sanchez fall because of the QB situation there.

    6_is_the_new_7,

    I think Dave was talking about trading our 5th this year and future of an additional 2nd. However I do not know if that would work either because of the small value in 5th rounders as I spelled out in my last post, around 43-27 depending on your spot. I agree, I wouldnt be completely opposed to moving out of the 1st all together, but I think we need to at least stay in the middle of the 1st. I think we could trade back multiple times and pick up a additional 2nd and then maybe an additional 3rd. I might be able to come up with some scenarios, but I dont want to go bury myself in football trades before FA, lol!

    Thanks 6. You're definitely an informed fan. I'm hoping McDaniels and the new group have a better idea of the pulse of the league. My point with Rey is I'd have no objection to picking him at 12, but if the general consensus is he's end of first round material, drop back and pick him at the end of the 1st round. Used to kill me when Denver would pick a guy and the response was, "He would have been there a round later."

    I get what you're saying though. To me, the plan should be to target 3 or 4 guys that fit and see where they go on Dday.

    It does seem like we're first in line compared to the other teams that have similar needs. Good is we stay put, bad if we drop back..

    Biggest thing is Shanahan's gone. He would get stuck on one guy(Moss) in the first, then if he didn't think he was going to make it to us he'd trade up, giving away later picks. Everyone is so pleased with last year's picks. He didn't trade up. He sat and waited for Clady to fall to us and he did. Therefore, we got good picks day 2 that weren't traded away.

    royalmarshalls - i just compared #12 and #19 picks from 2000 to present. I rated each player 1 - 5 and then averaged the number. The 19th selection rated better. There were 2 zeros in the 12th pick catagory though. If we just rate these draft picks by Broncos. Our 12th pick Ryan Clady.... our 19th pick Aslie Lehlie. Hmmmm.....

    I think a lot of people here on focused on what they'll do on draft day. But I'm kind of interested at what this new regime is looking at FA-wise to fill needs. I think a lot of what they do in the next couple of days will shape their direction going into the draft. If they have a certain type of player they're looking at for that #12 pick, but find the same thing on the market, that definately opens the door up for a trade. But I do think a lot of what happens depends on who they actually have in mind in that war room either on the market or in the draft. Basically EVERY need doesn't need to be filled at the draft.

    Allseasonsfan,

    It means anything can happen and anything can change from year to year and from 12-19. LOL! There is no real way to determine if the 12th or the 19th is a better selection to have. However, when you weigh in the fact that you will be getting an additional 2nd rounder along with the fact that the players the "experts" have being taken from 12-20, its a better option to trade down.

    I liked what McDaniels said, "We can't control what's happened before. It's a moving-forward process, and we're interested in players that are going to help us get better, and if they will, then that's a decision that will be made." Also he said "Cap considerations won't be an issue on the open market. Cash on hand will be." meaning that salaries are no problem but bonus' are.

    Lee listed some interesting names but most want their big payday now. And many times that means up front signing bonus, which is cash. Mr. Bowlen does not have deep cash pockets today due to previous salaries to ex-coaches.

    I wonder if Josh/Brian/Keith have already setup offers to targeted players or if they are going to wait for the dust to clear then jump in about March 4-10?

    6itn7---I like your ideas for the most part. I'd love to see them add picks, but think that should be done by trading a few of naxt years high picks for additional picks this season. I'm not usually a fan of that idea. However, with the amount of D talent to be had this draft and our teams obvious needs I say sacrifice next years draft for this season. Heck if they start 6 rookies this season they couldn't poosibly be any worse that the last two years. Plus, they are a year ahead of the curve in experience.

    I think Greer will be kept by the Bills and that price tag may be a bit much. Would love to see McFadden though. I've been pretty dead set against spending money or draft picks to address the RB situation BUT I do like Ward ALOT. He and Torain behind Hillis would be a brutal combination.

    I don't know where the idea of Maualuga having a "horible" senior bowl and combine comes from. I watched the senior bowl practices and the game a couple times and don't see anything "horible". He tweaked an hammy in the 40. On the field he is a beast with a go, go motor. The only knocks on this guy are "overpursuit" correctable and "goes for the "big hit" correctable. This beast cant be passed up if he's there. Love Chung and Brace. These would be great picks. I also like Miola(sp) from USC. He looked great at the combine and think he would be an excellent DE in the 3-4 next to Brace and maybe Thomas on the other side.

I just noticed he is a FA and he ran a 4.38 in the combine before he came out in 2004 and I have seen plenty of him in games last year busting long homerun type catches and I think he could be that guy that would open up our offence. He had catches last year of 84, 81, 64, 54, 52, & 51. Marshalls longest all of last year was 47 yards and Royal had the one 93 yarder against the Browns and had a 59 yarder against the Jets, but everything else was under 30 for him. Henderson was also more or less #3 behind Colston and Moore, so what does everything think about him?

    royalmarshalls, it happened to me also, at 1st. I reenabled my cookies and then it worked. I can be reached at dynamicdave8@yahoo.com. I'm laying down now. Running a 102.4 temp. Was 103.2 last night. Heads pounding too much to do any more.

    That's a real shame what's happening to Rocky. I like the idea of going to the Post. I'll just scan over the bs comments and look for the familiar names if there's too much nonsense. It might be fun for all of us to tear a new one for some of those amateur writers. I hope the Rocky staff finds work soon. It's not easy keeping up with the Broncos on the east coast and Rocky has helped me stay in the loop. Any thoughts on L.Coles? Is he a team player? I haven't kept up with him, but I've seen his speed on several occassions. Henderson sounds like a good option too.

    I like Henderson too; but I still think Houshmanzadeh would complete this offense. I know, not realistic and maybe not enough ball to go around; but I still like the idea.

    Sean Jones is a good safety if he doesn't command a high price.

    Mike Brown would be good if he could stay healthy but a BIG IF.

    To bad the Rocky is history.

    GO BRONCOS!!

    DrChris, no Doc, go to http://dbtruefans.blogspot.com and sign up with the same handle. We will all meet up there and share info, ideas, articles read, and opinions. No different then here except we can determine the articles to discuss. I'll occasionally go to the DP but I've been to it 18 times (posts) since 05. I just don't like a lot of the posters negative mentality. Those are the type who come home from work, slap the wife, kick the dog and beat the kids. I like the crowd we have here. A true compliment to the Broncos nation, the group here.

    Swick, the only #ss getting kicked is mine... by the flu. I try to lay down but I still have to cook for my elderly parents, etc. I'm at 102.6 now. Night is coming. I'll take another Thera-flu.

    DrChris, open at the Post but also go to the one I gave you. It's for the RMN posters. Call it a bonding camaraderie.

    There are 9 of us there so far. We had trouble figuring it out too. Keep trying.
    DD I think it's 'cause he got cut. Just like when the 'Skins picked up Alridge.

    I still think the post is a decent option. I like being able to comment directly on articles from people who have some access to interviews of players and staff. Call me lazy, but I'm not great at coming up with topics. There's got to be a few good bloggers over there.

    Here's an idea, just copy and paste the articles fron the Denverpost onto our new site. That way we still get articles from intellegent people and we don't have to blog with the r3tarded people on the Dpost?
