They won't feel satisfied with Sanchez as their QB, but they wouldn't feel satisfied with Fitzpatrick as their QB (would you?) so why overpay him.

Fitz is a much better QB than Sanchez. I think on a one-two year deal while you get a plan together isn't a wild gamble. Certainly if Fitz wants more than 2 years, forget it. Peyton ran Kubiack offense as a statue but the Broncos are in a tough spot. Broncos have a lot of questions at RB as well.

"Better QB". That's such a high level summary of it all that it's nearly useless in determining which QB will perform better in Denver's system, because if you're John Elway that's the only question that matters.

Fitzpatrick's year last year was no doubt better than any year Sanchez has ever had. But Sanchez's arm is stronger, he's more mobile, and he throws on the run better.

Fitzpatrick takes care of the ball much better than Sanchez, which is exactly why he summarizes up to "Better QB" as you put it. But Kubiak's offense is based on a zone-read one-cut running game, off of which bootlegs and other forms of QB motion off play action are designed to get WRs deep. So the Broncos may be willing to overlook Sanchez's warts with turnovers in order to gain the capability to roll out and throw on the run. After all, they just won the Super Bowl with Peyton Manning as a turnover machine this season.

So if I'm the Broncos I'm not sure I'd be willing to pay Fitzpatrick any more than I'd be willing to pay Sanchez. If I brought them both to camp, if I'm Kubiak I'd view it as a complete tossup as to who should be my starter, because of fit.

And in light of that I don't know why you even bother talking to Fitz's agent, knowing that he seeks $14M+ per season.

In the discussion of Bronco quarterback Kapernick is in the discussion. Has the athletic ability for Kubiack, but you pay him over Fitz?

Sanchez might start the season, but wouldn't finish it. I'd be very surprised if horse tooth settled for the Sanchise as the starter.

In the end, Fitz probably goes back to the Jets.

Agreed, Fitz won't find anybody who would find him as valuable as the Jets currently do. Though they did meet twice with RG3, that seems like a due diligence thing.

Weddle goes to Baltimore:

Eric Weddle to join Baltimore Ravens

It's just so friggin nice not to be in the same shoes as the Broncos, Jets, Browns, etc. We actually have a QB for once. What a nice place to be.

Falcons signed OL Tom Compton, formerly of the Redskins.

A sixth-round pick in 2012, Compton is a versatile lineman who was an asset in jumbo sets last season with the Redskins. He will fight for a reserve spot in camp.

Didn't the team tender him a restricted free agent? Does this mean we get like a 6th round pick or something or did I read it incorrectly about his status with the team?

He was not tendered.

Compton, a restricted free agent who was not tendered by the Redskins, will be reunited in Atlanta with offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan and offensive line coach Chris Morgan.

Just realized the Compton I saw in the original article I was thinking of was Will, not Tom. My bad.

The Cowboys are going to play a lot of cover 2 again?

He didn't do well in TB in that role.

DG is solid but he lacks in coverage, but Dallas is desperate

He's had three suspensions and led the Ravens in penalties.
