Russell Okung option not picked up. Officially a FA.

Okung's overrated. Nothing special about him right now. He didn't really improve the Bronco's O-line, and that right there should raise some red flags.

Then again, they did have the worst RT of the 2016 season.

When your QB sucks not much you can do. Denver's problems are more than players on the line.

Siemian has potential. Only reason he didn't get sacked to a terrible rate was because of his mobility.

I can assure you every Bronco fan knows their line sucks, and should be first priority. Their RT was PFF's worst RT by a longshot, and their center is the only one who had a decent grade.

When you are let go by two teams (Seattle, Denver) with terrible lines it doesn't instill much confidence in him being an upgrade.

Seattle's philosophy doesn't involve investing in OL period, and, like Denver, doesn't have near the rosy cap situation we do.  Representing himself, his deal was really only a one year deal with a lot of smoke and mirrors and his option wasn't favorable to the Broncos going forward (similar to the Jags with Beachem).  He should not be option #1, but he should be firmly entrenched on the list of options.  He's still only 29/30 and has played in many big time football games.

    • AT got what he deserved. Be gone and enjoy those 4 catches and the bench and your pay cut
    • we have been bad offensively basically every game Rico Dowdle hasn't gone full Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson on folks.  
    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
