I don't see Peyton adding three years and let's not forget he has only been here one year. The way I read the Brady deal,and I could be wrong, he added three years to hid contract for the extension.

Its called leading by example. And sure champ makes 10.5 but Peyton makes darn near double that. And he never gave the discount to the colts either. This wasn't meant to be a blame game, just pointing out facts. Champ has always been open to accepting less. Don't know dooms situation, if memory serves right his deal maybe ending soon. Now whether they have been worth their money is debatable. Doom missed a full year but has been a force year in and year out when he plays ... these days von just gets there before him. Last year he had 56 tackles, 6 fumbles forced and 11 sacks ... thats impact. And champ was part of a secondary that held QBs below 300 yards all year ... a defense which operates on the ability of champ to play on an island. didn't work out in playoffs but u cannot ignore all the other games because of ONE performance.

Brady willing to do that has nothing to do with them having rings. Since they got their rings when he was on his rookie deal and new signed deal. Also the fact Brady is on the same team is a big help for him to do it. However I have mentioned the fact Manning should meet with Elway and everyone to work something out to help make more cap room. Also everyone just mentions Manning. However Champ is making 10.5 mil and Doom 12 mil. They both want to win (Champ especially so) they both are willing to do what it takes to help the team. Why is no one screaming about them doing something about their deals? Both have been good but not worth that kind of money.

" 2nd smallest arms and wingspan of anyone". Good point TRB re: Paea- I didn’t find the exact wingspan for Dawkins but did find this… ” 2nd smallest arms and wingspan of anyone”.

OT already mentioned that example and it isnt fitting. We needed everything. CB help DT pass rusher. We took the pass rusher. A need. DT was addressed last year. Wolfe was drafted to play DT as before Hunter got hurt our starting DTs were Wolfe and Warren. He as we know ended up seeing a lot of time as a DE majorly due in part to Hunters injury. Needs can be easy to tell if you watch a lot of games and look at the stats. What makes it harder is we dont know progression of players from one year to the next. Last years second round pick is a very good example. Brock Osweiler wasnt the BPA by far. But we needed a QB (Unless you wanted Hanie to be the backup) We went with out need. Best example for BPA is when Packers took Cobb. There are times when teams do take BPA but 95% of the time it will be the best player in an area of need. Its more of a combination of both.

Brady agreed to make less than that in 2 years. Just saying ... thats why the Patriots have the rings and remain competitive year in and year out. Cuz the players put their money where their mouth is, starting from the top and the highest paid.

So everything is almost always a need. Idea of a percieved need by the Broncos always being ignored is DT for example like going VM over Marcel Darius or even Patrick Peterson as our CBs were on Life support. We chose VM cuz we believed him to be the best player available ... LB wasn't a NEED but definitely could be upgraded is what I am saying. But like i said, its a blance so there really is no right or wrong answer lol TRB Its kinda hard to specify need to tell you the truth … not unless you have a BOSS at the position … every position usually can be upgraded.

I say that because we dont really have the money this year to even sign an above average DT. We have 14.8 million not including roll over from last year and just around 18 million with the roll over. 9.5 goes to Clady for his franchise tag. which leaves 9 mil or so. Granted we can release some players to add a bit more (About 10-15 mil for names ive seen mentioned) and then we have to take into account money for our draft picks and other guys to resign. Important thing to note is last year we stood pat when we got to around 12 mil till after draft time.
