Any Interest If Okung Leaves Denver

Has an option that kicks in this offseason (I believe it's March of '17) that re-ups him in Denver for 2 more years at an avg of around $11M/yr I believe. If Denver chooses to not exercise the option, Okung becomes a FA. 

He will be 30 next season, but could be an Oher-esque signing. Put him beside a solid LG like Norwell and maybe we get a few good seasons out of him. 

Thoughts?

Only if we draft or sign multiple LT prospects or we will be in same situation ...

Of course, beggars can't be choosers, but obviously at a discounted rate.  He simply can't be trusted to play 16 games.  Remmers would inevitably still get work at LT, but Okung can be above average 70% of the time for another couple seasons I believe.

Trade for Staley/Thomas/Veldheer>Whitworth=Okung>Remmers=Matt Kalil>unknown, unproven rookie in a weak OT class.

I'd be so ticked off if we take a tackle in the first and expect him to start and make a day 1 impact.

So many other positions we could go ahead of tackle from the draft imo.

 you mean do what carolina has done every year. ignore the position.  there is nothing as far as OT outside of round 1.  its paper thin.  teams will be over paying their free agent olines to retain them because theres nothing available.

So, if we go for an OT with Leonard Fournette, Jamaal Adams, or Derek Barnett on the board, you'd be fine with that?

There's no OT worthy this year of a top 15 draft pick.

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.

      I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.

      Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
