I dont care for him but Martz screwed this kid keeping him out of the game plan meetings! He has potential.

Hanie’s a stud…No Bull, and coming from a Bear for life. The guy’s got tramendous physical ability and a good head. he did great in the NFC game, better than any of us expected but knew he could do..he wasnt ready when Cutty went down last year, the situation, expectations, and timing were all too much for that genuinely nice of a kid in the NFL.. his compass is just off. everyones compass is off sometime, once he gets in his own system and has time to learn and adapt it (if that ever happens), them he’ll shine as well as Shaub or A.Smith could..

@ttommytom
Your math is bad. Hanie was cut and Siliga placed on the team last Friday, maintaining the team total to 53 roster spots. Siliga may not have been moved to the active roster though.
With Warren going out on IR or getting cut (who knows?) and Hanie picked up again, it is possible for Siliga and Hanie to be on the team to hold at 53 spots, but that might not happen. As I understand it, part of Hanie’s major chunk of change comes from being on the roster for an actual game, and the Broncos may not want to pay him more, so he may get cut and picked up again. It may also depend on if the Broncos might want to activate someone else.

Ummmmm, no it means that Warren will be put on the IR (or cut with an Injury Settlement) and Hanie will take his spot

Um no…

What Alper is saying is Siliga will need to be in the DT rotation because Warren is gone. He thus should stay on the roster (or another DT).

Therefore, Hanie won’t be taking his spot. Unless they truly want to play with two less DT’s than they had on their roster yesterday.

Good news? Hainie is terrible. I still don’t get it why we chose Hainie over Adam Weber during final cuts anyway…
I’d rather see Osweiler come in if Manning should go down, instead of Hainie.

Losing Warren means adding Hanie won’t cost anyone else a roster spot.

After seeing Tannehill and Weeden struggle tremendously yesterday, I now see why Denver added Hanie in the offseason. Playing Osweiler this soon would only stunt his development.

Sit back and learn from the master kid.

Same thing will be repeated across the league this week. Released players resigned after week one so yearly salary not fully guaranteed. Same thing with other teams going out and getting unsigned players, they’ll sift through what’s out there and pick up a contract or two.

“it’s not bad news for anyone except the guy who will have to be cut in order to get Hanie back on the roster”

It’s also bad news for Broncos fans who will again have to fear him ending up in the game at some point.

I would love to see history repeat itself in Donkeyville.

“Defensive tackle Sealver Siliga was promoted from the practice squad when Hanie was cut loose on Saturday, but the news that Ty Warren tore his triceps again could mean that someone else gets the short straw.”

How so? Siliga wasn’t on the active roster last night?
