I think they very much might lock him up beyond next year if he gives them a very cap friendly deal. If he goes for the money, then he's gone after this one, but with so many guys that are up on the Denver roster, they might want to get him into a three year deal that pays him a prorated signing bonus less than the $5 mill he is owed in 2014. I can see it going either way...Adam Harstad said:
Denver typically doesn't pro-rate signing bonuses. Denver's favorite contract structure uses guaranteed roster bonuses, which count in their entirety against the current year's cap and leaves little dead money on the deal going forward. That's how Peyton Manning's deal is structured- instead of a 5-year, $100 million dollar deal, it was essentially a 1-year, $20 million dollar deal, with a club option to add on another 2 years and $40 million afterwards, with two more club options to extend for another 1 year and $20 million after that. The upshot is that Peyton could then be cut at any point (except between seasons 2 and 3) with absolutely no dead money or other associated cap ramificiations.
Moreno owner asked for a starting caliber receiver. I opened by offering Andre Johnson. I realized pretty quickly why he didn't counter mine.
Damn son. Times have changed. In week 2 that trade may have been vetoed and now people are
at Jordan Cameron. I may need to throw some lowball offers at his owners.
I just traded D. Thomas and Kaep for Moreno and Stafford in my PPR league. I have Green, Gordon,K. Allen, Shorts, Hilton, and Givens behind him so I think that was a fair deal.
I am afraid of this as well but his schedule going forward makes me believe that he's going to keep putting up these numbers. Minus the two KC games left I think they are all very favorable to him.
That's what I love watching through all this. When Peyton gets to the line, he knows exactly what is happening and changes the play on the fly. He's a friggin master. I don't care how good the D, he's going to carve it up.
Denver averages 5 offensive TDs, and has scored at least 4 in every game. Knowshon Moreno leads the league in carries inside the 5 yard line. He's not going to get a pair of short plunges every week, but there'll be plenty of TDs to be had going forward.
I would, too. In one league I emailed out that Moreno was available, and the only offer I've received so far is Tandon Doss and a 2nd rounder. I respectfully declined.
Well he is coming off a 3 TD performance and 3 straight great weeks, so this isn't exactly going out on a limb re his value peaking. But I don't see a committee situation unless Moreno gets hurt. He has proven over and over that he can be relied on in every phase of the game while the other two backs have proven repeatedly to be unreliable (fumbles, pass protection, dropped passes).
Moreno's top 5 in fantasy points to date, and in PPR leagues, he was the #1 RB last week. If you can't sell him high now, you will never be able to sell him high.
That's where I'm at. I'm technically rebuilding. Stocked up on first rounders and took guys like Bell, Austin
Eiffert, Robert Woods (can we get EJ back, PLEASE!) and all of the sudden, I'm in the playoff hunt. Part of me wants to sell, but not sure what I would get offered. I might start a conversation on it and see what bait is dropped in the water. I'll report back...
