This seems like a very lateral move.

Now Denver has $45m devoted to the QB position on the CAP, and they don’t even have a Top-15 QB.

they will dump Case Keenum ... wind up with about 10m in dead money over that deal... if they can trade him, say Keenum, a 6th, & a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos for a 7th the dead money hit will be even less... as for the flacco deal, i'm pretty sure (but not 100% positive) the signing bonus monies don't count against their cap, only the 18.5m salary...

John Elway can't draft and develop a QB; he bought his super bowl through free agency and his only hope to get enough wins to save his job is through a veteran QB.

Cool...

Go Flacco.

Unless you play Dallas then...

crash and burn Flacco.

Exactly. Their Qb cap for 2019 will be around 29m$. High, but reasonable for a team in their situation.

I'm curious as to what Elway is thinking right now. Flacco is ok but he needs a nice supporting cast.

Stability in the position of qb... more so than what keenum brings to the table? Flacco isnt a win now qb, more of a veteran place holder til they draft a replacement... i would imagine that the donks just want to be respectable over the next two seasons vs trying to win it all like he did when he signed manning

That sounds about right. Still a lot of money to put out for low expectations.

Elway is thinking that we are going nowhere until we get at least a viable starting QB in here. And Flacco is the best available.
