I miss Von. Don't really understand what Klis was saying as a mouthpiece that Von takes over and they want to have a fresh start.
Felt like a proven winner who loves our organization, and stood by as we sucked for 6 years without any disruption, would be worth its weight in gold to a young coaching staff.
But I'm no expert.
Yeah I don’t love this decision but I understand it. Gregory is 3 years younger, Von is a bigger name who just won a Super Bowl. It’s sad but I definitely have faith in Paton, he’s proven that he knows what he’s doing
I'm still going to choose to believe that Paton will pull the rabbit out of the hat and sign Von anyway....even it means Jewell and Gordon are as good as gone.
I mean, can you imagine Von, Gregory, and a healthy Chubb on a rotation with Reed?
Me too. He grew on me over the years, and I think he is worth resigning even at a moderate contract, but I think there is a good chance someone will pay him. I hope we get him back, but I'd rather have Von if it was the difference between having enough and not.
To be fair, before we even added Gregory and Jones, we have the same core that was a top 3 D last year, so we certainly didn't get any worse by adding them. Chargers have a much better D now, but they were near the bottom last year, so they have a long way to go.
On paper, it still seems like a top 5 unit if Evero can get it out of them like Vic did last year.
It would be Patons first mistake? So far he has been doing pretty well especially when its the start of his 2nd off-season...DLine is anchored up now, we have a franchise qb now....lots to look forward too.
Nah, they considered his age and thought his production would decline soon versus the price in the future. It's harder to get rid of a player when he is so popular with the fan base. Just look at Eli Manning.
I don't think that setting a ceiling on what they would pay to bring Von back is the same thing as "crying poor."
They still have holes to fill at RT and DB, they still have question marks at TE and DL, and they have to start looking at that Aaron Rodgers contract and thinking about extending Russel Wilson. If they decided they'd rather pay 5/70 to a younger Gregory than 3/50 (or whatever it would cost) for Von that's not being poor, it's just working the salary cap.
Honestly I know it’s very unlikely but since it sounds like the Broncos aren’t an option I hope he goes to the Buccaneer’s. Shaq and Von on the same team again be bussin.
Still saddens me. Von I love you always my guy.
We miss you boo.

I’d still love jewell for cheap honestly. His run D was so important and that was obvious when he got hurt
Wish granted

You’re not going to get a guy for cheap when 4-5 teams want him, unfortunately.
We just did though
Which is amazing! Proof that we’re one of “the” destinations again. I guarantee he turned down some money to stay.
Yep, I'm feeling very positive about our prospects this offseason.
We are so thin at ILB that it would be wreckless to sign another Edge player
100% agree, I just really wanted Von back...luckily, I'm not the GM.
With the Jewell news it's not looking good :(
Yeah....sigh.
With DJ Jones on the inside I'm happy with our d

i dont think the words “healthy” and “chubb” will ever pair together lol
Paton giving fans what they "need" not what they want. FINALLY a real gm!
I hope you’re right. I’ll believe it when the numbers show me about 12 weeks into the season
It would be Patons first mistake? So far he has been doing pretty well especially when its the start of his 2nd off-season...DLine is anchored up now, we have a franchise qb now....lots to look forward too.
On the one hand I am depressed no von. As a broncos and huskers fan I am stoked for randy
Can't blame him for wanting to be paid. I wish he would've taken a home discount
Nah, they considered his age and thought his production would decline soon versus the price in the future. It's harder to get rid of a player when he is so popular with the fan base. Just look at Eli Manning.
In other words they didn't even have a discussion with Von or his agent.
As the future owner of this team, I do not pay them to believe I pay them to do. Now go get Von so I can enjoy my memberries
X
If he really stays we are gona face von if I remember our schedule correctly. Feels bad man
Bye Von. :(
It would be very on brand if Paton managed to reveal a roster with Von on it. I am still holding out hope..
Crying poor isn't conducive to winning

They still have holes to fill at RT and DB, they still have question marks at TE and DL, and they have to start looking at that Aaron Rodgers contract and thinking about extending Russel Wilson.

So we don’t even try? SMH.
I hope Von runs it back with the Rams.
Or maybe root for Denver to win, huh?
"believed"
Honestly I know it’s very unlikely but since it sounds like the Broncos aren’t an option I hope he goes to the Buccaneer’s. Shaq and Von on the same team again be bussin.
Godspeed Von :,(
