Broncos Mailbag: Phillip Lindsay Earned His Pay — and Then Some by Mike Klis 9NEWS May 7, 2019 Broncos Mailbag: Phillip Lindsay earned his pay — and then some By Mike Klis 9NEWS May 7, 2019 A postman after a three-day holiday doesn’t sort through as big a bundle of letters as 9News did for its latest Broncos mailbag. The first 9 letters received were answered here: Mike — Does Phil Lindsay qualify for the rookie post-year bonus pool to players who outperform their draft position substantially? If no, there should be an amendment fixing that obvious problem and it should be named after Phil. If yes, I’m guessing he more than doubled his salary with the bonus going from undrafted free agent to Pro Bowl and 1,000 yards. —Tom Boyer, Centennial Tom — Lindsay did get a $201,592 performance bonus, although it was based on playing time, not his 1,000-yard season. All players, not just rookies, get a performance bonus at season’s end that is based on a formula that weighs scheduled pay out vs. playing time. The less you make and the more you play, the greater the bonus. Guard-center Connor McGovern got the largest bonus among Broncos at $445,424. Chad Kelly got the smallest at $354 – not bad for a one-snap kneel-down. Lindsay otherwise got a $480,000 rookie minimum salary and a $15,000 signing bonus that was tied with Jeff Holland for the largest among the Broncos’ undrafted rookies in 2018. So Lindsay’s performance bonus bumped his pay 41 percent. Lindsay did set a precedent by becoming the first undrafted offensive rookie to be named to the Pro Bowl. He is scheduled to make a first-year minimum salary of $570,000 this year. He and the Broncos are not allowed to renegotiate his rookie contract until after this season. If he has another 1,000-yard season, you can bet they will. Always enjoy your insight and analysis. I have a question regarding QB Drew Lock. Does Denver see him as the eventual successor? What is the Broncos plan for him as opposed to when they drafted Paxton? Also, why did they draft a QB this year knowing next year the QB class is considered a deep class? I appreciate your time Mike. — Matt Padilla Matt — Three questions. Here goes: 1) Yes, the Broncos look at Lock as their franchise quarterback of the future. If all goes well, he will be their season-opening starter in 2021. Which could be a watershed season for the Broncos as it currently stands as the final contract year for both CEO/president Joe Ellis and general manager John Elway. Lock in 2021 is the best-case scenario because that would mean Joe Flacco plays well and leads the Broncos to the playoffs these next two seasons. 2) As for the Lock plan vs. strategy used for Paxton Lynch, I remember Gary Kubiak coaching Lynch up hard in Lynch’s first season of 2016. The idea at the time was for Lynch to start at some point in his rookie season. There was never a plan for Trevor Siemian to become the starter. Plans changed when Lynch didn’t come along as hoped and Siemian far outperformed his seventh-round status. With Lock, the plan is for him to observe and absorb this season. And then see how Flacco plays, how Lock is developing, and take it from there. 3) As for not waiting until next year to take a first-round quarterback, the Broncos plan to be drafting in the 20s in 2020. The highest pick among playoff teams is No. 20. The top three or four quarterbacks should be gone by then. Elway and his top personnel assistant Matt Russell liked Lock from the get-go last season. They did consider him a first-round talent who dropped to the second round. Why wait till next year, when a quarterback you like is there now at No. 42? When will the Broncos update their uniforms? Like many in Broncos Country, I’m a diehard and a fan for life but our jersey shells and pants are dated. I love our logo and helmets but really feel we need a more traditional look. When will we make an update to our unis? — Michael Caden Los Angeles CA. Originally from Denver Michael – I have a different take. As soon as you go to a new uniform, those $319.99 authentic Von Miller jerseys at the Broncos’ Team Stores become outdated. An authentic, custom Phillip Lindsay jersey is $399. Hate to hang it in the mothball section of the closet after a year or two. The Broncos changed their uniforms from the dark-blue home jerseys to predominantly orange in 2012. Just in time for the arrival of Peyton Manning. It was only their third major uniform re-design in the past 51 years. They wore those pumpkin-orange tops, white pants, straight stripes and light blue helmets from 1968-96, or 29 seasons. Then they went with the Chicago Bears-like navy blue tops, white pants, Nike swoosh stripes and darker- blue helmets with the meaner Bronco logo in 1997, which held through 2011, or 15 years. They then went back to the orange top -- if darker orange -- in 2012, which they will use for going on their eighth season. I say no uniform changes until 2021 when there could be all kinds of changes at Dove Valley. Mike, enjoy your Broncos coverage and insight. 14 years for Broncos? Let’s go 14 more years. Any chance the Broncos inquire about a trade with the Jets for ILB? Also, although we hear Josey Jewell is physically limited are we missing something? Is it possible Vic Fangio believes Jewell can get the job done — Steve Buerge, Highlands Ranch Steve — Yes, it’s been 14 years on the Broncos’ beat, starting my 15th season. I assume you are talking about acquiring Jets’ inside linebacker Darron Lee, who apparently has not played up to expectations since he was the No. 20 overall pick in the first round of the 2016 draft. The Jets did not pick up his fifth-year, $9.501 million option for 2020. The Jets also signed inside linebacker C.J. Mosley to a huge contract in free agency. Lee did seem to be playing well until he was suspended from the final four games of last season for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. All this seems to put Lee on borrowed time with the Jets. But the Broncos had a chance to take speedy inside linebacker Devin Bush with the No. 10 pick a few days ago and passed in favor of a trade back that resulted in tight end Noah Fant and Drew Lock. In part, this decision was made because the Broncos do think Todd Davis and Josey Jewell are pretty good players. They may not have the speed you’d like on third downs, but still they’re too good to ride the bench. Mike is there any chance the Broncos bring back Shane Ray? — Shane Ellis Shane -- That would be a longshot in part because Ray would rather not return after his fifth-year option wasn’t picked up by the team last year and he was benched, along with safety Su’a Cravens, from the final four games last season. Ray did visit with the Indianapolis Colts and Seattle Seahawks this offseason but left each place without signing. This would be an indication he got a low offer that he’s not ready to accept. Do you think Su’a Cravens has a role in this year’s defense? — Justin Majka Justin – After a rough 2018 season, Cravens is getting a second chance this year. He is competing for the dime-linebacker/strong safety position. Will Parks held that spot last year. Some of the decision to keep Cravens figures to involve the comeback of strong safety Jamal Carter, who missed all of last season with a torn hamstring. Cravens must re-impress his new defensive coaches, Vic Fangio and Ed Donatell. Hey Mike, do you believe the plan at QB for this draft was always to come away with multiple players? It just seems that we were either planning for Flacco not being around long or they really liked Brett Rypien. He got a rather healthy undrafted free-agent deal. —Adrian Watson Adrian — They went into the draft knowing they had to take one quarterback. It was a must because they didn’t have one after losing Paxton Lynch to performance and Chad Kelly to behavioral issues last year. Rypien was similar to Lock in that he fell past where the Broncos had him rated. Broncos’ offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello liked Rypien enough to draft him in the mid- to late-rounds. When he fell out of the draft, the Broncos felt he held too much value as an undrafted rookie not to make a run at signing him, even if they did give him an unusually large $146,000 guarantee.The Lock- Rypien pickups with Flacco as the first-year starter is somewhat like the Green Bay Packers’ draft strategy in 2008. Aaron Rodgers was going to replace Brett Favre and become a first-year starter, but that same year the Packers took quarterbacks Brian Brohm in the second round and Matt Flynn in the seventh. Brohm was waived after just one season and Flynn only made two starts in four years with the Packers. Rodgers never gave them a chance. No one is looking at it this way but it could turn out that Flacco plays so well, Lock and Rypien never get a chance here.

  • NFL Draft 2019 Grades: Evaluating the Broncos and Every Other Team’S Picks by Ryan O’Halloran Denver Post April 29, 2019
    NFL draft 2019 grades: Evaluating the Broncos and every other team’s picks By Ryan O’Halloran Denver Post April 29, 2019 A team-by-team recap of this weekend’s NFL draft: NFC Arizona Cardinals A — The Cardinals selected immediate starters/contributors with their first five picks: QB Kyler Murray, CB Byron Murphy, WR Andy Isabella, DE Zach Allen and WR Hakeem Butler. With play-caller/coach Kliff Kingsbury, the Cardinals may not be successful, but they’ll be interesting. Atlanta Falcons C-plus — The Falcons ignored cornerback until round 5 (Jordan Miller). First-rounders Chris Lindstrom (No. 14) and Kaleb McGary (No. 31 after a trade-up) will start at right guard and right tackle, respectively. Carolina Panthers B — Liked what the Panthers did early. DE Brian Burns will team with veteran Bruce Irvin to replace Julius Peppers. LT Greg Little will get a chance to beat out 2017 second-round pick Taylor Moton and QB Will Grier could stop the revolving back-up spot. Chicago Bears D — If you factor in the Khalil Mack trade (which costs them a first-round pick), the grade would be different. But the Bears had only five picks (one in the first 125). RB David Montgomery (round 3) will back up Mike Davis. Dallas Cowboys C — No first-round pick because of the Amari Cooper trade. The Cowboys had nine picks, but only two in the top 116. They chose two defensive ends (Joe Jackson and Jalen Jelks) and running backs (Tony Pollard and Mike Weber) apiece. Detroit Lions C-minus— Tough to be fired up about anything the Lions did after tight end T.J.

  • Runde 3,Der NFL Draft Wird Im Kommenden Jahr
    Vienna Vikings gastieren in Prag ++ Charity Bowl 2016 Am kommenden Samstag, dem 14. Mai 2016, werden die Vienna Vikings um 16 Uhr auswärts auf die Prague Black Panthers treffen. Obwohl die Vikings in Österreichs höchster Spielklasse bei vier Siegen und null Niederlagen stehen, bleibt Headcoach Chris Calaycay fokussiert: “The goal is to be 1-0 this week.” Ein Sieg in Prag soll also her, ungeachtet dessen, was die Vikings davor schon geleistet haben. Die Panthers halten momentan bei einem Sieg aus drei Spielen und möchten an die Leistungen aus der vergangenen Saison anknüpfen. Da wurde Prag nämlich für die Vikings beinahe zum Stolperstein. Diesmal soll es nicht so knapp werden. Dabei behilflich können nun endlich auch wieder einige Verletzte sein, die am Samstag wieder starten können. Unter ihnen die Wide Receiver Joey Gabrick, Dominik Bundschuh und Dominik Bubik, die der Offense ihre Schlagfertigkeit wieder zurückbringen sollen. “The focus is on playing more consistent on offense and I am looking forward to the return of many of our starters from injury.”, so Headcoach Chris Calycay. Auf Wide Receiver Stefan Postel muss verletzungsbedingt noch verzichtet werden. In Prag möchte man also auf eine 5:0-Bilanz stellen, bevor die Swarco Raiders nächste Woche bei der Charity Bowl XVIII in Wien auflaufen werden. Card AFL-Gipfeltreffen als Charity Bowl XVIII Zum 18. Mal werden die Vienna Vikings in weniger als zwei Wochen die alljährliche Charity Bowl veranstalten. Gastieren werden am 22. Mai 2016 die Swarco Raiders Tirol im Rahmen eines Spiels in der Austrian Football League. Gleich geblieben ist im Vergleich zum vergangenen Jahr der karitative Zweck: Der Erlös wird nämlich auch in diesem Jahr der Kinder- und Jugenanwaltschaft Wien zu Gute kommen.

    O’Halloran: Broncos trading for Joe Flacco will be a boon behind the scenes — and bring a sigh of relief for Vic Fangio By Ryan O’Halloran The Denver Post February 14, 2019 Ten thoughts for new Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco and his 10 career postseason wins: 1. I was guilty of overthinking the Broncos’ plans. I thought Option A might be keeping Case Keenum to begin the season but then giving the 10th overall pick (or higher) a chance to play with an eye toward 2020. Uh, not quite. The Broncos went the Conventional Route. They targeted a veteran quarterback and traded for him. Neat and simple. They also went the Old-School Route. In a developing era of mobile quarterbacks, the Broncos acquired themselves a gunslinger. 2. Flacco was 4-3 all-time against the Broncos (nine touchdowns, five interceptions). At Mile High, he won 38-35 in January 2013 (playoffs), lost 49-27 in the 2013 season opener and lost 19-13 in the 2015 season opener. The playoff win was memorable. Flacco threw a 70-yard touchdown pass with 31 seconds left in regulation to force overtime. The Ravens finished that season by beating San Francisco in the Super Bowl. 3. Flacco is 34 years old. He has never been to the Pro Bowl. He lost his job to a rookie last year. But for a fourth-round pick, he is worth the risk … and, really, it’s not a risk. What stands out about him is completion percentage (64.9 and 64.1 his last two full years), his durability (played all 16 games in nine of his 10 years) and his playoff form (10 wins).
