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.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
