Huh. Seems like it could be a move to get Hodge on the roster. And since Demby was waived by the Lions, maybe we can get him on the practice squad?

Here's to hoping!

im getting old so may be miss-remembering but there was more than one person saying Hemingway would replace higbee this year as 2nd TE on the depth chart ?

TH had all the physical tools just not able to put it together

Hemingway definitely looked the part - just couldn't seem to pull it together and I guess if you're going to succeed it would be in McVay's o. I'm interested to see if there's a VET TE available...

Also, unsure why everyone's clamouring for Demby??

Does this include adding Jamon to the roster?

I was intrigued by what we saw from Perez in limited minutes. Raw, but with some glimpses.
Hemmingway was mostly a wasted PS spot.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — In the wake of Jeff Heuerman’s season-ending injury suffered during Sunday’s win over the Steelers, the Broncos signed TE Temarrick Hemingway to the active roster from the practice squad, the team announced.

Hemingway, a third-year player, spent his first two years in the NFL with the Los Angeles Rams, appearing in eight games in 2016. In 11 preseason games, Hemingway has 10 receptions for 93 yards. The Broncos signed him to the practice squad on Oct. 10.

Still butthurt about losing Jamon off the roster. I just still don't get what benefit it was to release him when we did.

Loved some Perez. Wish he had some more opportunities to show what he could do in the PS.

It's been explained countless times including a video linked where McVay addressed it. Salary cap!

Doesn’t explain why they didn’t move around money to make way for him. It’s not like they had to move around much if anything to keep him. Which is why I’m still baffled.

He is a starting caliber NFL player that was sitting on the bench for his final season of his rookie deal. He had no chance to further showcase his talent and get a big contract. The Rams did Brown a favor by releasing him. They must feel other roster options can fill in if need be.

I understand that but how about if the injury bug comes a calling? Thats why they say " defense wins championships but roster depth gets there".

I'm pretty sure they feel good about the backups or they wouldn't have let Brown go.

I think it IS that simple.

Brown had some deficiencies in his pass protection and was only effective when he made his assignment on run-blocking, (which was most of the time).

I think it speaks to their belief in the rookie OL guys we have as anything about Brown.
That doesn't mean either rookie would play well if put in there.
Brown was always a hit and miss player. Started mostly misses and worked himself to the point he was more hits than misses, but, he isent a great player. At least not at this point.
Ever forward.

Nope I think that’s a direct quote from Vince Lombardi. :sneaky: Lol
