Not very pleased with Denver's Free agency...
They let Wesley Woodyard go to NE. Woodyard was the type of player that I love having because he is affordable, was a team captain, and always made an impact without the star price tag. Denver has enough depth at ILB that it wasn't necessary to sign him, but having NE sign him hurts.
Essentially paid more for Aqib Talib than DRC was asking. HMMMMM, not sure how I feel about this, because it still leaves Denver needing another corner. Would have preferred to see Denver sign DRC for less than Talib and then pick up an additional corner. DRC proved he can play well for Denver, Talib has not and also has more of a questionable history IMO.
Picked up TJ Ward for a good deal, especially considering what Donte Whitner signed for, and he's definitely at a position of need... but IMO hard-hitting strong safeties are out of style in this league. 5 career interceptions in 4 full seasons ain't gonna cut it for me. For comparison, Jairus Byrd averages nearly 5 INTs a year. NFL these days might as well start 2 free safety types and 3 solid CBs. Getting a "hard hitting" classic strong safety means fewer turnovers and more "targeting" penalties.
Now they are talking about Signing Jared Allen or Demarcus Ware, both old as fuck and one dimensional, IMO. If you want a pass rushing specialist you should have signed Dumervile last year or just picked whatever hybrid 240lb OLB that runs a 4.6 in this year's combine.
