Broncos T Ja'Wuan James tears Achilles

[Risen Star]

Double ouch.

Only played 3 games in 2019 and injured his knee. Opted out in 2020. Torn Achilles working out on his own.

NFLPA and Broncos in a pickle now. NFLPA telling players to not report to facility and work out on own. Teams not obligated if player injured himself working out outside facility. $10M possibly down the drain on top of the money he forfeited last year.

Will the Broncos go cheap and refuse to pay? Or do the Broncos buy some good will with the players and pay him. If they do, $10M flushed from the cap and they need to find another player.

Maybe they should have drafted Slater instead of Surtain. They didn’t need CBS since they signed one or two in FA. Too late now. But, they have a real GM, so all is good.

He can't be counted on health wise. Denver signed him to a dumb deal thinking he would be magically healthy in Colorado. Achilles at his age+size= easy cut to me.

Why eat 10 mil for a guy who has played in 3 games in 2 years already and will be at least 3 years before he plays his 4th?

Double ouch.

Plus not only did they pass on Fileds at QB, but they also passed on Slater at OT/OG in the draft..... to take a CB.
Ooops

And he's cut.

Was placed on Non football injury, so the Broncos had no intention of paying him.






Another Bronco injured himself not at the facility.

Is Elway putting out hit orders?
