  1. If $7M of the 2024 amount is guaranteed at signing, wouldn’t the contract be “as little as” 1 year for $30M?

    Sure looks like it’s all about money, not winning…
    ——————————-

    Maybe he’s had his fill of “winning” in Denver?

  3. No team knows Jones better than Denver, odd they chose to pay Allen instead of a guy they drafted… wonder why

  4. Harris, Johnson and Jones. Broncos defensive guys that went to the Seahawks. Usually see stuff like this with coordinators that become coaches
