Not just the players it seems. Would be a definite upgrade but for a big commitment at $10-12M/year I'd rather pass. For a tad less or a short deal, then yeah. People forget that he has a long history of injury problems and though he played all 16 last year, they could come back anytime. And he wasn't all that good last year anyways. Sure would be interesting and would give me hope for the offense though.

Troy Renck of Denver 7 reports free agent LT Russell Okung is drawing interest from the Panthers and Giants.
That is in addition to the Broncos, who have not closed the door on bringing Okung back despite declining to pick up his option last month. Both landing spots make a lot of sense. The Panthers have to find a replacement for Michael Oher, whose career may be over due to concussions, and the Giants are likely looking to move 2015 first-rounder Ereck Flowers to the right side. Okung could command $10-12 million per year on his next deal. Mar 8 - 1:04 PM

It's not that much of an overpay considering cap increases and demand of the position.   Also you know, the fact that Cam is getting killed out there.   Ignoring the position for so many years is going to force us to overpay a bit.   If you ever overpay, you do it on your LT.    Get this done.

I would've rather gave Wagner that 9 mil. Personally Ive always believe that Okung was overrated.  

Even if, he's still better than any option we have at LT and we can't have another season of Cam getting violated all game.

      As I watch Darnold tonight...

      By NAS · Posted

      So funny see people continue to talk like Darnold isn’t one of the best QBs in the NFL for the second season in a row. Two different teams and situations, he is for real and not just a product of the system.   He struggles under pressure lol what QB doesn’t? Did anyone watch Mahomes in the SB?

      Mike Jackson

      While I was aware that Horn does not shadow WR1 I learned something interesting in the game from one of the announcers ... Horn ALWAYS plays the short side of the field.  As in, he will switch sides when the ball moves from one hash tag to the other. It seems intuitive that short side of field equals easier route coverage (correct me if I'm wrong) and expanding further I wonder if Mike Jackson was put into that role would his stats improve? If Horn is such a shut down corner, why isn't he just following the biggest WR threat around the field? Is there something inherently harder about covering the short side of the field?  Why make life easier for your best CB?

      Chuba love

      I wonder what the true state of Chuba's calf is? I remember it being mentioned a couple of times last year that it was something they were managing then after the Cardinals game last year we put him on IR. He then reinjured it this year. That would seem to explain why he looks slower and less explosive than in years past. Chubas running style was a one cut explode through the hole type of back and it just doesn't look like he has that ability right now.
