Pretty sure the Broncos have an out in that contract after this season. Safe to say they're gonna jump on it.

Not unless they want to cap hell for a while. The first semi-reasonable out they have is after 2024. If they cut him prior to Mar. 21st of 2024, the 2025 guaranteed money goes away(it is the full 2025 salary, BTW). But they would have $85 mil in dead money.

Not only that, they don’t have cheap talent on the roster because they gave away both 1 and 2 in 2022 and 2023 draft. Gave away another 1st for Sean Payton. That’s rough

They would be something like $68 million over the cap by cutting him. They are projected already to be almost $19 mil over the cap in 2024.

The best thing they can probably do is basically trade him away and keep a substantial amount of his salary. That is the only near term option. Outside of that, wait until 2025/2026 to cut him.

They just need to let him cook until 2026.

I wish the Broncos the worst and only the worst. I hope they don't see the playoffs for more than a decade.

Hate the Pats and Belichick with a passion and rooting for Belichick not to pass Shula but I found myself pulling for them against Payton, Wilson and the Broncos. fug that organization and those guys so hard. Hope they miss the playoffs for 25 straight years

I am going to root for the Pats in the last two games. I want them to fug themselves out of a new QB in the draft.

Man we have had a lot of lows this year and still don't have the 1st, but it could always be worse. Feels good to have an on the rise rookie QB after seeing this. They're going to have to eat 35M in cap hit just next year on him

on the rise?

    • KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.
    • Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.  
    • Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
