Wins with elite block destruction and explosive contact power; an all-out stacked linebacker who forces opposing players to keep their heads on a swivel.

Because of the guy that played a million times above his pay grade for 3 seasons? Really? That guy? Not the diva receiver that took all that money and then got hurt?
The guys that decided to pay those diva receivers are the ones at fault.

Yep that's the contracts that hurt this team. Should have traded BA last year to the Steelers and got that second rounder.
And now there looking to trade him for peanuts real sound strategy.

If that were true, he'd be traded already. Team is definitely looking to cut out the 10 million + contracts because that number for Dre is very fair. It has to be injury concerns, which I get.

Why would it be done by now?
It's day one free agency and they've got till April 1st before his bonus kicks in.

Because if you believe the rumor that they'd listen to offers for him obviously there would have been offers for "peanuts" made.

Why we dont match that contract is beyond me, but we are in save money mode this year and it will be tank time for the next few seasons.

I think your right even if we are not a total rebuild we have to nail the next two drafts to even keep up. I hate when the superbowl window closes. Well we had a good run.

The Denver 49ers, seems like they're going all in to try and unseat the Chiefs. Getting all these ex-Niners they do realize we couldn't beat the Chiefs either, right?

If it's true he wanted to be LB1 then he was looking for something the Niners couldn't match.

haha yeah.

Chargers won't be an easy out either.

Tough division.

My son is a Broncos fan - he is so pumped tonight.

Greenlaw was the only one I really wanted to not lose, I didn't mind the team losing Huf, Ward, Banks, Mitchell, and Moore. I hope they have a good back up plan.
