Broncos lose backup LT Ty Sambrailo to IR; down to third-string

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

I guess it's not like going from Clady to Sambrailo, but I have to think they're vulnerable there.

Ty Sambrailo, Broncos' LT, to go on IR, will need surgery

Chandler's breakout year couldn't have come at a better time.

How has Mathis been for them anyway?

not good. he got pushed back a few times last night.

gotta think elway might pull the trigger for another o-linemen by tomorrow,

 

[RobertWeathers]

Injuries do suck. Waters down the game.

It is what it is....

And outbid the Pats for whoever might be available?

Could the Broncos finagle the cap room for Joe Thomas?

I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow got him

It would be a very Elway move.

I believe they could. Doesn't even require any finagling, IIRC.

It would be a very Elway move.

It would, because Elway, presumably, has heard of him on ESPN before.

 

[patfanken]

IIRC, didn't the article state that he's been out for several games already. So it isn't like this is something new for Denver. They've been playing for 3 or 4 games with their current OL, right? It was certainly good enough last night.

However it does level the playing field.

Could the Broncos finagle the cap room for Joe Thomas?

They have about $7.5 million in cap space, so not much finagling needed. Joe Thomas' cap hit for a half season would be about $5 million.

It's not like the cap has stopped the Broncos before. They've always had some creative maneuvering.

I definitely wouldn't put it past the Broncos*.

I'm not sure we should be making all THAT much fun of Elway's GMing, even if he's one goofy-looking former star QB who recruited another one.

So long as you can tell me the free agent he's brought in, and didn't overpay, that wasn't a household name.

Also, he fired a coach that had gone to 2 Super Bowls, in favor of one that had won 1 division in 10 years - because he used to be his backup QB.

Gary Kubiak - Letterman Jackets.

Hampered by an injury. They've even taken to subbing him in order to avoid making the injury worse.

To what do you attribute the Broncos' W-L record?

 

[shmessy]

Yup - - they got their help for the LT situation.......(Just wasn't an LT tho')

Adam Schefter ? @AdamSchefter
Here we go: 49ers trading TE Vernon Davis to Denver for 6th- and 7th-round picks this year, and a 6th-round pick in 2017, sources tell ESPN.

I have to tip my hat - - that is a great move for Denver:

CapSpace=$3,074,583 @patscap
Plus, if Davis does well in free agency he may garner the Broncos a 2017 compensatory pick. https://twitter.com/PatriotsInform/status/661306319316480004…
