Ask John Elway for some tips. Broncos have always been good at "cap management" so to speak.
Yeah but they don't win football games.

I could see them trading Chandler Jones. The writing is on the wall by the way they drafted. Two DE's and their biggest FA signing this year all play Jones position.
Umm.. they'd free up less than that.. They'd free up around $800K and that is before signing someone to Jones' roster spot..And it doesn't even make sense. They'd only free up $1.2m doing it.
I hope you're right. My fear is that they trade him for a 2017 draft pick.I think Solder will get an extension.
And yes, the 'cap is crap' crowd are again proven wrong.
Writing is on the wall with the way they drafted and they did it for a reason and it is to replace Jones next year who they will not be able to pay. Based off past history I could see them doing a trade before the start of the season. You should go back and listen to some of BB press conf. regarding the cap and they always like to have wiggle room or carry cap space into the next year.
Not saying I would want them to trade Jones, but based on what is on the roster I could see them doing it.
In what universe do you live in that Jones isn't?In what universe do you live that Chandler Jones is one of our best players?
Flip the first paragraph around, Grissom was the 3rd and Flowers was the 4th.Flowers is a 3rd round pick. Grissom is a 4th round pick.. NEITHER has proven anything yet. There is no telling if Grissom will end up being a DE or an OLB.
Yes, Sheard is great insurance and should be able to spell either Ninkovich or Jones. But let's not get carried away.. Ninkovich is 31. He's got 1-2 years left. That puts Sheard in a prime spot to take over for Ninkovich.
Trading Jones hurts this team. Saying otherwise is foolish.. And the savings is minimal. 800K before someone else is added..
The biggest bang for their buck would be to sign Solder to an extension.
That Arrington contract is embarrassing. 3 mil to cut him? FFS.
Pats need to draft Miguel or take him via eminent domain
Some of you guys are funny. You complain that we never maximize the cap and therefore always don't maximize our chance to win a superbowl. Well, guess what we did? Relax guys. This is not BB's first rodeo. There's a lot of things we can do going forward. Trade/extend Vollmer/Solder. Cut/restructure Mayo next year. Trade Ninko next year. Not resign Chan Jones (do we get a complimentary pick?) Cut Hooman, Wendell next year probably. Extend hightower and Collins. Cap is also going to grow.
SO where are all those who were screaming and complaining about the cut of Revis, positive that THEY could have fit him under the cap....Currently our top salaried CB is making 2 mill.....so where is the other 16 mil plus going to come from for this year....not to mention the contracts for Soldier,Hightower, and Jones next year,,,What would you have sacrificed this and every year of his contract....The argument was and is still totally without merit....Total BS...
