Happy belated birthday RK.
HtownBronco
Happy birthday Ryan, hope you enjoyed your time out in AZ.
I love the Kareem Jackson signing! Didn’t really put too much thought about him until now.
Being a Houstonian, the Texans are my second team, I always root for them unless they are playing my Broncos. Even go to a few games a year.
Kareem Jackson was by far their best DB. So he will make a solid #2. Absolutely love the signing.
I bet Phillip Lindsay loves it too!! ?
Btw I tuned into a little bit of 104.3 TheFan. Nice work RK.
First things first. Ryan has seen the light on In-N-Out???. Hearing that made me way more happy than it should have. Welcome to the club, I can now listen to other food advice of yours, now that I know you have taste buds.
Second, really excited our depleted secondary is getting such a legit cornerback. Great signing. Now we need to sign a tackle. Hoping we sign Ju’Waun James. IF Elway does get him, how much will that leave the team to fill other areas for depth on the team?

Well it seems the corner/ safety position has a new addition and is definitely much needed. I’m curious on your guys thoughts as to what role he will fit best for into for Fangios scheme? Also if it is corner do you seem him being better suited as an inside or outside corner?
Love the pod guys great coverage and the chemistry between you guys is great but I do have to say Zac and Andre do well together also. (Sorry Ryan your still my boy blue)

Zac, although you haven’t had a Hot Pocket yet, I think that can be forgiven. They’re not that great and they’re not that good for you. In a pinch they’re a good snack but I’ve never just been sitting around and craved a Hot Pocket.
Cadbury eggs are another thing that’s alright but not a must have. I can maybe eat 1 a year because they’re so sweet. I suggest getting the caramel filled one, it’s better than the original.
Kareem Jackson isn’t one of the names I remember hearing about the Broncos possible CB signings. I remember him being decent corner but nothing too special. Please change my mind for 11 mil a year?
MrFreeze
Listening to Ryan on 104.3 is huge. I’m using an app to listen from halfway across the country. So freaking excited for you man, congrats!

Absolutely love this signing of Kareem Jackson, the guys a proven veteran and consistent. He should look really good in Fangio’s defense. If Elway can bring in 2 more impact starters around this price range, we should be looking tough heading into the draft. We have the cap room to make some more magic. Personally I would like to see them to go linebacker and wide receiver to finish FA. Next go get the best offensive lineman in the draft, shore up the d line, and secondary as well. I feel this is totally doable and the team would be more well rounded then a year ago. I think we could be the surprise of the league if we nail these offseason moves. What do you think?
Much love to you both, and happy birthday Ryan K.

Love the Ju’Wan James signing. $32 mil guaranteed, $52 mil total. As you guys have said, RT is becoming a more and more valuable position as the best rushers are lining up on that side of the ball. So even though we’re paying him a premium to play to spot, it’s way cheaper than paying an arm and leg for a LT which isn’t much more valuable than RT. Smart move by Elway. Here’s my question: Is Kareem Jackson or Ju’Wan James the better signing? And which one stays in Denver longer?

So I just read about the two signings of Denver…did they overpay for James? I just feel like that is a lot of money for a RT. I hope I am wrong. Also, I’m surprised by the Kareem Jackson signing, since he is older and gave him a good amount of money. Do you guys think he is a good corner?
What do you think about Callahan or Darby? Still possible for one of them?
Also, who do you think was the most overrated, overpaid FA signing thus far? How about under the radar?
Thanks guys!

Obviously pleased with these signings and the flexibility it allows heading into the draft. I worry about James making that much but can you blame me w our history in RT. Anyway riddle me this, do you think it’s possible/likely that we can grab Paradis OR Turner (to start as G and backup swing T) and get Eifert on a 1 year prove it deal.

Happy Bleated Birthday Ryan!
Congrats on the BSN Broncos win in the subscriber competition!
Along with other, I am happy with the two free agency signings so far. Maybe a little more than I wished for in James, but I like the signing.
To finish out free agency, I would love to see some miracle with C.J. Mosely or to re-sign Paradis. If one of these two happen, I would say this was an “A” for free agency.
Shoutout to the “OGMVP” Litvak!!! but thanks to MileHigh DownUnder “GWS”

Aloha Fellas!
It’s been a while since my last comment. Work and family has been keeping me busy, but I always make time to listen daily to the pod and especially keep up with the awesome content online.
Let me just say that when I first subscribed more than a year ago, you guys promised to crank out the best and most complete Broncos content EVERY DAY. Well you guys have stayed true to your word. From day 1 you made the prospects of going into the offseason of 2018 a fun and interesting time with your Senior Bowl, Combine and Draft coverage. Needless to say this year I renewed my subscription, and the Senior Bowl to Combine to Draft season has become my favorite off season period as a fan because of you guys. So a big mahalo to you RK, Zac, and Andre!
But enough about that, here’s a few comments and a question for you:
A) First, I love the foodie thing you guys have going on. So if you ever come to Hawaii, you gotta check out Boots & Kimo’s. It’s a very popular fast casual restaurant that draws long lines daily that’s especially known for their pancakes and waffles, with their famous macadamia nut sauce. But breakfast isn’t all they do, as they also feature a huge menu with the likes of hamburger steak plates, burgers, Hawaiian style dishes, and delicious steaks. The best part is, the owner is a huge Broncos fan who I was told by the GM is friends with Pat Bowlen. There’s Broncos memorabilia everywhere and pictures of him with Pat and Elway.
B) Second, regarding the best water debate. I”d like to add Hawaii’s own fresh water into the mix of delicious water straight from the tap. Next time you guys come here you have to remember to give it a try. Fresh rain water is naturally filtered through the porous volcano rocks and collects beneath the islands where it’s pumped from.
C) Ryan when you claimed that In N Out was garbage it made me seriously question your judgment. More so than Zac never having had a hot pocket or a Cadbury Egg. But hearing you recently change your opinion on this made me very happy and restored my trust in you. Welcome to the club RK!
Two questions
1) With Flacco in as our starter, Keenum shipping off, and the possibility that we are passion on a first round QB in the daft I am wondering about our backup situation. Even if we draft a QB in the later rounds, Denver is still likely to pickup a veteran backup. What available free agent QB do you see being a good fit to join our quarterback room?
2) With the signing of Kareem Jackson and Ja’wuan James, I’m wondering if there’s enough in the tank to still re-sign Paradis and get someone like KJ Wright?
Finally, even though I am situated out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean in Hawaii, being part of the BSN community means I am never alone in my Broncos fanhood. Thanks again guys keep up the amazing job!

Well, Mosely is being said to sign with the Jets for 85 Million for 5 years……Just came out on NFL.com about 5 minutes after posting my last question. Here’s to getting Paradis back in free agency and trading for Rosen!
GO BRONCOS!!!

I’d love to hear your comments on Bill Barnwell’s D- grade for the Ja’Wuan James signing. His main points were that had, “…started 15 games and committed seven penalties, which seems like an unimpressive feat until you consider that he averaged 10.2 penalties per 15 games in his first four seasons [and] allowed five sacks, which is right in line with his career rate when he has played a full season”
“He is now comfortably the highest-paid right tackle in football, with his $13 million average annual salary placing him ahead of Lane Johnson ($11.3 million) and Rick Wagner ($9.5 million). Both Johnson and Wagner were far more effective and consistent on their rookie deals than James was on his.”
Minnesota Paul
3-time champs, let’s go!!!! I’m proud to be a subscriber of a podcast with such a strong winning culture!
Along the lines of the news, I have to say I was hesitant about the Kareem Jackson signing. It was a lot of money, and it wasn’t Landon Collins or Adrian Amos like I hoped. After I read Zac’s story on the signing, I was quickly won over. Thanks for diving into it, Zac! It sounds like Kareem Jackson could be a versatile player Fangio needs in his mafia. How do you feel about the value of this signing?
Rival question: How do you feel about the moves the rest of the AFC West is making? Obviously there is a lot that will happen between now and January, but is it possible we will see three AFC West teams in the playoffs? Thanks in advanced for your wisdom!

Hey guys! Andre from mile high Brasil again here…
First congratulations on the third championship!!! second: quick question: who to expect next on FA? heard we got back to negotiations with Paradis and Billy Turner…is it better to go for someone on the market or be safer and re-sign one of those guys?
PS: Elway stop working on the late hours of the night if it is past Zac bed time in Colorado imagine for us in Brazil LOL
You guys Rock
GO BRONCOS

Pronunciation guide Hair-in like the old pitcher Dan Haren and it’s cool that yall talked about the Sioux City Journal but dont trust it. I live a bit north of there and couldn’t name a person I know that reads it. Question time who do we currently have signed on the offensive line and who do you guys see as potential bargain signings we could afford with recent big signings? I have always hated Flacco but GD I just want to win so let’s protect him and give the rest of the West a run for their money and potentially make the playoffs.

Ryan, happy belated birthday! You guys have me foaming at the mouth for OBJ now. He’s nowhere near the diva AB is, and he’s also great friends with Von from what I’ve seen. I know it’s not a guarantee the Broncos are even interested or if the Giants will move on, but it is enticing.
Also, with Gronks agent saying that Gronk is yet to make up his mind regarding his future, would you see it possible he could be playing in a Broncos uniform if he decides to play? I don’t remember if I heard it from you guys or another source online, but I heard he loves the Denver area.
ColoradoSportsFan
So espn is grading all the Free Agent moves, they give Jackson a B and James a D. Do you you guys agree with these grades?
EstesDaBestes
What up, what up BSN Rockstars! My name is EstesDaBestes because my name is Joe Estes. It’s actually just coincidence that Estes Park is in Colorado and I’m told that Shawn Estes is a second cousin in some way. Not sure how exactly. Anyways, loving free agency and the POD. Keep it up BSN Rockstars!
BadOne88
Yes! we got the CB and RT I wanted. I am interested to see what other moves we make in the next 2 days.
The Kareem Jackson signing is amazing. Jackson, Harris, Simmions can all cover a lot grass in a zone and can tackle. I would be happy with Will Parks as our starting Safety, any thoughts?
Dropswitch
First time posting, signed up last Thursday! You guys are great! As a WSU fan, I am hoping for the Broncos tondraft Gardner Minshew. What are the possibilities he is a Bronco after the draft? I feel like all signs point to LB being drafted at 10 if we don’t trade down. I prefer the trade down route!
