    Yep. He was cleared. But Broncos have $30 million in cap space. A trade would make much more sense. Get something for one of the top pass rushers in the game.

    Obviously he only gets cut if there's no trade market for him, it goes without saying I'd assume.

    Miller dropped off pretty hard in 2019 before missing last year with injury. I'd be cautious about paying prime Von Miller rates.

    Well you dont play two DTs at 3's at the same time so kind of a waste to have two guys who play the same thing

    Simmons doesn't exclusively play 3 tech and I think one of the common themes of good defenses is to have lots of guys that can effectively line up all over the place.

    I don't particularly want whoever we were talking about but we need multiple DL and DL that can consistently get to the passer would be nice. I'm not convinced that is Simmons, especially since he had 5 sacks in 2 years in the NFL and 7 sacks his entire college career.

    Simmons is a game changer when he wants to be.

    He just needs a sidekick to replace Jones to be at his best

    Find a guy that commands attention away from Simmons and wed see him become elite

    We just have to make sure they don't have a skillset that includes 3 tech. Because that'd be wasteful.

    He can be an elite player, but nothing in his history says that he is more than an average pass rusher. The guy is crazy strong, but he does not have that quick get off that is needed to quickly disrupt the QB.

    I would not be upset at all if we added Kyle Van Noy. He would certainly add veteran leadership to the defense. He was one of the Fins captains last yr. He is extremely versatile in terms of having plenty of experience playing off ball LBer and edge rusher. He isn’t going to be your 10 sack guy, but he will give you all out effort and be a great teammate. It would be a low risk signing.
