Man, it was highly regarded as that type of class. They all had hype.

Had to happen, injury concerns and he refused to restructure his contract while I believe a healthy portion of it wasn't guaranteed. I assume it'll be a post June 1st release so they can split the dead money between the next two years. Denver is releasing DJ Jones so wouldn't be at all shocked if SF tried to bring him in as a direct replacement, pursue either Bosa or Hunter to pair opposite Nick Bosa and then after releasing Armstead post 6/1 they announce the new contract for Aiyuk.

"Elite" is a stretch, for sure, but they were 6th in points allowed at 19.1 per game, and that team went 10-7 with a pathetic offense that did the defense absolutely no favors.

This defense is from what I can remember one of, if not the highest paid in the NFL, but yet in back to back games at home mind you they lost to not one but two below 500 teams...

The offense scored 10 and 18 points in those games. It's an offensive league, if the offense can't run way out in front and give the defense a large lead to protect or sit on the football in key moments, you'll lose even to lesser opponents. Pitt was 6th in points allowed and 6th in Defensive DVOA (https://www.ftnfantasy.com/articles/...3-dvoa-ratings) so I'm not sure what you're looking for. The Legion of Boom?

I mean for that type of money, why not give it a shot. If he can throw for 20+ TDs it'll be an improvement over the last couple years. I think it means Kenny is done though imho.

Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t Denver have to pay the difference in his salary?

It does he get a Cwebb type of deal where he gets paid by 2 teams?
