The Denver Threat
 

With all the signings and potential signings Denver is going to be a big challange for us again as usual. I don't like where this is going.


NFL Network's Adam Shefter reports that Ahman Green is spending Friday visiting the Broncos.
Houston, Oakland, and Green Bay are also interested. Denver could seriously rehabilitate Green's fantasy value.

NFL Network's Adam Shefter reports that Patrick Kerney is visiting the Broncos Friday.
Denver could make a big splash by landing Dre Bly, Daniel Graham, and Patrick Kerney in less than a day. Kerney is expected to earn $8 million a year. They may not have the cap room to prevent him from visiting Minnesota and Seattle.

Redskins do this same thing every year. What has that gotten them. The teams that spend wisely, not the most, are the ones that win out in the end.

Re: The Denver Threat
 

Let's see how it all shakes out. Everyone's going nuts about Dre Bly, he's replacing Darrent Williams who had become pretty good himself. With the ages of the two and Williams on the growth curve, that's basically a wash right there IMO.

Is this like the Miami threat last year?

Re: The Denver Threat
 

I'm still not convinced on Cutler. Let them resolve QB before we fear them (see Miami).

EDIT: richpats, great minds think alike.

Re: The Denver Threat
 

Denver will probably be very good next year. The Pats need to take steps to keep up with the Broncos. Those would be 1) signing Adalius Thomas and 2) signing a high quality veteran WR (Bennett, Curtis, Stalworth, RFA Hackett). Include a few other low-priced veteran acquisitions for depth at LB and the defensive secondary, and a solid draft, and the Pats would be well placed to compete against a bulked up Broncos team.

everyone looks at adds, and not losses... denver lost a key RB, a key OT, a key CB... they are struggling to keep even.

Re: The Denver Threat
 

I say Graham signs in Seattle.

Re: The Denver Threat
 

Well, we most likely lost a key TE and a decent depth player at LB. Combine that with the fact that our aging defense is only getting older, and the Pats have got some work to do to break even themselves.

You don't even play Denver this year.
