Speaking of Houston, I've pondered my thoughts on him since those goofy reports came out and I'm convinced he has a huge season this year. Several reasons why.
1) Another full offseason removed from injury. 2) He could be very motivated, as this season is essentially a contract year. He won't stay for his price tag in 2019 if he isn't highly productive. 3) Vastly improved secondary. We gave our pass rush little to no time to rush the QB often times last year. 4) Major improvement across from him over Zombo. Even if its Ford, or KPass stepping up, it will be a boost. 5) I don't think he drops in coverage nearly as much given the reports that Sutton wanted to pressure more but didn't trust his personnel in the secondary enough to do so. Call me a homer, but I think Houston balls out big time in 2018. |

If Dorsey wanted to fork over #4 overall I might be inclined to listen.

I remember some of the surprise and shock from the NFL outlets when the Chiefs took Peterson at #18. If I recall correctly, a lot of the mock drafts did not have Peters anywhere near the first round. Getting booted from your college squad isn't good for your draft stock. So you'd think Peterson would have some sense of gratitude/loyalty to the Chiefs. I don't know him personally, so maybe I'm wrong...but he doesn't seem to roll that way.

The thing that would worry me if I were a chef fan is that Amerson's deal is built to expand from $2+Mill up to nearly $6Mill, that is close to starting money.
I still think the addition of Fuller and Amerson is to upgrade the poor depth at the #2 and #3 CB spots but if they brought those guys in to take over for the #1 and #2 positions then the rumor makes sense. The article brings up one instance last year but Peters has a history of losing his cool on the sidelines, the Chicago loss about 2 years ago comes to mind, I know there were other times he lost his cool and was flagged for it. Then there were the time(s) where he left the locker room before the press got there and the fact he was talking trash up 24-3 vs the Titans weren't good looks either. They know what they were getting into when they drafted him, doesn't surprise me we are still talking about his behavior this far into his career. |

The other thing in play is Talib.
There are rumors out there which I don't want to be true either about The SB50 Champs cutting Talib to save cap money to sign Cousin's. I still think there is room to rework his deal along with DT's to reduce cap to sign the other guys they need to but if John is feed up with Talib the way the chefs are said to be with Peters and the chefs can be a player money wise the Peters rumor makes more sense. |

It is hard to ask everyone in the CB room to get their nose dirty and tackle if the star isn't willing to. |

You can believe whatever you want. I think it's far more likely the Broncos blow their team up for Cousins.

Taking away one guy to sign another is not blowing up the team. I would be happy with a top 10 D and an Offense that can score throwing twice as many TD's as INT's and pass for over 4k yards a year.
