Don't eliminate Lorenzo Doss from your 53-man rosters quite yet.

  • Doss was projected to be a 4th-5th rounder in the 2015 draft--Denver took him in the fifth, where he played behind Talib, Harris, and Roby.  In 2016, that secondary was the best in the NFL.
  • He ran a 4.47 at the combine.  He is 5'10" and 24, fwiw.
  • He had 15 interceptions in college in 3 years. 
  • At the Broncos camp last year, he was awesome.  One reporter tweeted during a scrimmage with SF, " Another pick 6 for Lorenzo Doss! That's 9 picks in camp so far. "

So far, he has been a ball hawk in Carolina.  Today was the third straight OTA with an interception. 

Q:  SO WHY  DID THE BRONCOS CUT DOSS LAST YEAR ON THANKSGIVING DAY?

A:  He missed a meeting on Thanksgiving day before practice.  It was not his first missed meeting.  Denver was 3-9 and Elway wanted to send the team a message. 

It just seems that this DB understands how to get interceptions because he gets them whenever he is on a football field.  Buried on the bench of the best secondary in the NFL in Denver (aided by one of the best pass rushes in the NFL), expect Doss to fight Corn, Captain, and Seymour for a spot on the roster.  We could use a ball hawk in the secondary. 

I have been saying this for a while--the CBs on this roster are young, improving, and could be a real factor.  They are not going to be the Achilles' heel many believe.  Just watch.

Lol keep him over Seymour? I would say Captain with no hesitation.

This is my first thought--a post Jun 1 cut...save some money.

Problem is cutting Captain doesn't really save much and he's definitely our best nickel on the roster. And no Jackson is not a nickel. With no TD first 4 weeks we'll be running a ton of nickel CB and we need Captain for that.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?

      If you pay Bryce $50M a year you greatly limit your ability to put the type of team around him you need to have to have a chance to win. THAT is the problem. Hell, we can't win with him on a rookie contract. How the hell are we supposed to start winning with him paying him like a franchise QB and having to make tough roster decisions to accommodate his cap hit?
