This may cost us Whitworth, Williams, and SJD next year, and maybe Corbett but we'll see. I imagine Allen being a priority since we have no C depth.
Looks like they are paying his salary.... Basically buying our picks.

How does it cost us FAs unless we sign him to an extension? Also, does he get us a comp pick if he signs elsewhere? Asking since I have no clue.

So one year of a declining stud OLB sans cap hit in return for a second and third round pick?

Maybe they figure they won’t have enough cap to pay their draft class.

@Merlin My theory about giving Kenny Young away for free in return for a future favor from Denver wasn’t all that far off.

Wow! We joked that VM might explain the Young trade. Then it happens. Are you kidding me?!! I almost feel sorry for opposing QBs. Almost.

Somewhat related. If the Broncos are throwing in the towel, how is Melvin Gordon not a Titan yet?

Well its not like the Rams hit a homerun with our last 2nd rounder. In fact, likely their worst pick since they were hired. They honestly make better later picks anyway.

If any decent vets are cut loose at CB, Safety, TE or RB.. they are hammering their agents to get them to the Rams.

For those of you questioning his play, we have this guy named Aaron Donald that usually makes pass rushers better. Not only that, this makes Floyd, Ramsey and the defense as a whole even more dangerous.

4-1-7 on passing downs and your still getting to the QB every time.

Coulda swore he got nicked up a couple weeks ago. Announcers were all "this can't be good." Guess it was nothing.

I’d rather have the picks based on Miller’s play this year

Miller has started seven games so far in 2021. He’s recorded 4.5 sacks, seven tackles for loss, and nine quarterback hits in 2021.
What's concerning is his latest ankle injury and the fact that he's 32. But the front office must have thought he was worth the gamble.
