I'd bring em all in for a look.

Long might be a little light for our D-line, but If I remember correctly coming out in the draft he was projected as one of those tweener types that WE LOVE. If he'd be willing to come at a decent price it would be awesome to have two "Bloodlines" lined up with each other haha.


Laurinitis is as tough as they come and a good leader but not sure he's what we need at the spot. Unless they want to go completely from scratch and let Ryan learn for a bit longer and then pair Laurinitis with a draft pick and let him be the thumper to a more athletic player. I wouldn't be upset with his signing at all though!


Cook has raw talent but the dude is a bit of a headcase and if I remember had some drop issues. Not someone I'd go for unless it was a good prove it type of deal.

I'd like Uncle Ted to take a look and kick the tires.
I'd be even more shocked if he signed one or more of them.
I'd love to see him FINALLY do something to prove that he's willing to do what's necessary to win another Super Bowl.
I'd like to see at least one more before I die.

Wasn't Laurinaitis pretty awful this year, though? His career has always reminded me a bit of Hawk's. Not that bad, necessarily, but never truly living up to his potential.

You'd have to think that, with all the young guys the Broncos will have to resign right now or pretty soon, they won't give out two big contracts at the ILB position. I'm guessing Brandon Marshall gets the big contract in that case. I'd rather have a look at Danny Trevathan who's a free agent, as well.

There's a ton of guys who I'd rather have who might come at a comparable price and are better or guys who don't have the name recognition and might come cheaper. Rolando McClain, Craig Robertson and Zach Brown come to mind. None of them are truly great or first class starters, but I'd prefer them over Laurinaitis at this point.

I'd like to see what Jared Cook would do with a good QB throwing him the ball. I think he'd compliment Richard Rodgers well at tight end.

For those wanting Ted to take a look, I'd be willing to bet anything that he is taking a look. Now, his taking a look may not be the same as your taking a look but I think its highly unlikely that Ted has not looked at all three of these guys, and every other player cut, and probably every player listed in all the "on the bubble" articles and even a few more. Just because guy are not brought into town for an interview and a workout does not mean they were not looked at and considered.

I have no doubt whatsoever that Ted has a number in mind. I do have doubts that Cooks agent has that same number in mind.

Cook sucks. He runs crappy lazy routes, drops a lot of balls, fumbles, argues with teammates when things don't go his way. He's not really anything but an athlete that can't play football. He's had 7 years to get it together but probably just doesn't give a crap, already got paid. This guy was pretty much universally hated by Rams fans. If we're signing a TE there are plenty of other options.

Call me crazy but I still think Vernon Davis is a great buy low candidate. He is still explosive. He became a leader in SF his last few seasons and seems to have matured. I think he may have some confidence issues now but I would hope GB would be willing to send an offer his way. If he flops (ala Jeff Saturday) then he gets cut or retires. Seems like upside > risk.

I agree with you, as a stop-gap, Julius Peppers-type of signing, anyway.

Davis has been a bum the past two years in San Francisco and Denver. My tightend target would be Ladarius Green from the Chargers. Been stuck behind Gates for a few years, but has shown he can play.
