They declined the option on Ray regardless what Elway says about Lynch hes fighting for a spot.

I offer a third and Jordan Richards for them both.

Thoughts.
 
I like Shane Ray. Lynch can kick rocks...



...cuz he sure can’t throw em’.
 
Ray certainly seems to be on his way out in Denver, how many of the 2015 first round bust can the Pats have on one team? The decision to pick up his option (and Dorsett, Shelton, & Brown's) options are due soon.

I don't think they want to give up on Lynch (just yet), but he has no real future.
 
Richards, I believe, has a salary charge of almost $1.2 million this year and has shown nothing to make it appear he belongs in the NFL at all. He's an absolute negative in terms of trade value.

I don't think elway is going to bite at that trade and pure passrushers don't seem to interest bill too much. He pass on Landry twice.
 
No Paxton. Yes to Shane.
 
Ray is a one trick pony who isn’t even that good at his one trick. He would suck here being asked to be versatile and not just rush the passer with no other duties and get about a sack every 3 games.

Lynch needs a mob.
 
If you want Paxton Lynch, Bryce Petty, or Hackenberg wait for their current teams to cut them.
If you want Paxton Lynch, Bryce petty or hackenburg you should ask someone to educate you on qbs.
 
a 5th for shane ray

then go sign kaepernick.....and reid
 
Shane Ray projects to be an off the ball LB in our system. He's similar in size to Hightower and Van Noy. I don't think he's a every down DE. Given scheme and experience then, he's likely sitting behind Hightower and Van Noy (not to mention Rivers potentially). A 3rd seems a lot to give up in this instance given his skill set is replicated. We need more of a cover backer.
 
He can get to the QB Paxton Lynch I think just needs a new start.
If he gets released we should be all over him.
I certainly prefer him to Johnny Manziel and has way more upside than Hoyer and a any of the QBs who went in the middle rounds this season.
I wouldnt rule it out.

So 5 sacks over the season? Not bad, would probably finish second on the team!

Well the patriots had 27% more sacks than Denver did last year.

Except he can’t play LB.
 
LB (5)
Hightower
Van Noy
runstuffer - Roberts/bentley/Sam/fa
Flowers (ST)
Reilly/Langi/Sam

I think that Ray would be an upgrade over Reilly/Langi/Sam. However. I hope that Belichick has a better player in mind.
 
I'll give them a 3rd if they promise to keep Paxton Lynch.
 
We would have to give up more for them to take Richards!
