Great point. I didn't even think of this. Would fit GM SM's vision perfectly. Great call.

And someone else was saying this too.

Exactly what I meant, it felt like the coaches were alluding to him getting bigger and moving inside last year. He could easily put on weight and would be a force inside. That would allow us to take a safety or CB in the draft (come on Karl Joseph) instead of feeling stuck with taking one of the interior DLine players

we still need a NT. murphy would be a DE. he's not a great pass rusher, so being a 3-4 olb is kind of a bad fit for him. I'd go NT over CB any day if the talent level is equal, just because of how important it is to our scheme. with the draft being deep it also means that the guy we can get at #21 might have been a top 10-15 pick in a normal year.

anyways, #1 NT > #3-4 cb. if we're cutting culliver, then cb would be as important.

The allusions are over, apparently they are now saying openly they want him to get bigger to move inside.

Keim said as much on Cooley's radio show yesterday. Keim compared the change to the one Justin Smith went through in SF. Murphy is really tall but he seems like he has a different build than Smith and seems lanky. Not sure how that would work. He is strong against the run though at OLB.

Would he be a better rotational player at DE than OLB, who knows?

Only six players had 10+ sacks in both the 2013 and 2014 seasons. Junior Galette was one of them.

Excited about Galette. I dont know much about Bruton, but the orange mane seems disappointed which is always a good sign.


"He deserves the opportunity to compete for a starting spot somewhere. He's been nothing short of a pro's pro for us. Great ST leader and deserves every penny he gets. Nothing but a class act."

** ive never seen a team fan forum speak such high praise for a guy.

David Bruton signs with the Redskins - The Orange Mane - a Denver Broncos Fan Community

Seems to check all of SM boxes - pro's pro, plays ST, young enough at 29 at start of the season ... 3/9 mil 1.5 = very manageable.

Broncos worked to keep Bruton, even matching the Redskins' offer. Came down to playing time.

David Bruton deal: $9M, $3.4M gtd, $2.5M signing bonus, salaries $900,000 (gtd), $2.25M, $2.75M; $15,625 per game active, $500K escalator

a cap hit of about $1.7 million in 2016

Redskins re-signed C Josh LeRibeus.

LeRibeus started 11 games at center last season, but appeared overmatched while grading out as Pro Football Focus' No. 30 center out of 40 qualifiers. With Kory Lichtensteiger back healthy, LeRibeus will be an interior backup.

My guess is Stefan Wiz aint coming to town, probably too expensive in McC eyes.

I think the Galette signing puts us closer to picking a corner with the first pick.
Eli Apple, come on down....

Why Galette is an OLB ? The only talent on the DL is Baker and he is a free agent next year.

Because the draft is not heavy with top corners.
So we need to move on one in the first round.
We can get good DTs in the 2nd and 3rd.

true, the draft is deep with D lineman. However, if a great one is available, take him. I think there is a good chance they trade back in the first round and add a pick or two.

Also, are you assuming Culliver is done (going to be cut). If not, they have two good CBs.

Cullivers health at the start of training camp is unknown.
He has no guaranteed money coming so cutting him wont foxxor our cap situation too bad. (If I'm reading all that jargon properly)
Either way, we can do better at corner.

in our scheme those are the main pass rushers.

DL Paea, Baker, Ricky Jean, Golston, new guy from the Chargers we signed. Trent could move to the frontline and Preston could see time there.

I think we are getting a NT/DE in the 1st or 2nd round in the draft as well.
