David Montgomery dreamers I hope you enjoyed your 24 hours of Hope
Good. There are better options. Questionable for the Texans though with almost no O-Line at the moment.
Dang, wish we could’ve tried to match that or offered our late 4th
Update: ok the actual comp for him is wild, kinda glad we didn’t do it now
I do not understand at all what the Texans are doing.
Minnesota is expected to release Aaron Jones, I’d prefer him in Denver than Montgomery.
Yet another player the Broncos were never going to go after.
Well the upside is that the Texans were probably our biggest competitor for FA RBs in the offseason so whomever actually makes it to FA (so not Hall or Walker), we’ll have a better shot of signing them.
Wow just a 5th round , can we land something nice for once
Damn, and for the package the Texans gave I’d totally make that trade.
Texans gave up a 4th, 7th, and player!
Yeah definitely okay passing at that price
Good move for the Texans. Mixon is gone now. I wouldn’t mind Mixon on a vet deal if his foot is not cooked lol
I like this dude but I didn’t want him on the broncos

Ugh.
He would’ve been a nice addition to our RB room, but in Paton/Payton I trust.. Who else wonders if the plan is to pretty much roll out the same depth chart (minus Jaleel) as last year?
