Rumors swirling that Elam will be a scratch tonight for Norman. Trade coming?

I doubt he is even available. Top corners aren’t easy to replace.  Heck I’d say now yo need 2 top corners

I agree.  He's one of the few Broncos I wouldn't trade away.  He's only 23.

Even that isn't nearly enough apparently. Per Benjamin Albright, the reported price tag is Two 1st's plus a Pro Bowl Calibur Player "to even get the conversation started"

Perhaps this isn’t the move for us if this is true.  
 

I don’t think this would be the move for any team.  2 firsts plus lying him 20m aav.  No thanks

 

edit:  I replied thinking the player was Jaylon Johnson.  Surtain, I see why they want so much.  He still have next year under contract plus his 5th year option.  
 

Elam and 2nd for Johnson could be a great move long term

That seems a bit hyperbolic from their side haha they’ll certainly want more than we would offer though..  no way anyone gives them that.
 

the two firsts is already pushing it before getting to the pro bowler 😂

It isn't as hyperbolic as it seems. As I said above:

We're talking about a 23 year old, former top 10 pick, with a clean bill of health, only 2 and a half years of tread taken off the tires, on an inexpensive Rookie contract, that has 2 years remaining after this one, and was a 1st Team All Pro just last season at the premium CB position. 

 

That pretty much checks off all of the boxes on what makes someone have as steep of a price tag as you can get.

Oh yea he’s valuable for sure but asking for two firsts and a pro bowler ‘just to get the conversation started’ seems like a hard line negotiation tactic.  They would take that deal in an absolute instant if anyone was crazy enough to offer that (which I doubt anyone would be) 

 

rams traded two 1sts and a fourth for Ramsey from the jags and even that was a ton.

Cap isn't a problem. He's on a Rookie contract. Which is part of what makes the price tag so steep.

2 1sts and Deonte Harty (he was an All Pro!)

After the way Harty looked on PR he should get time on offense. Sadly, Dorsey won’t bother to draw up plays for him

If Beane holds up a deal for Jaylon Johnson because he doesn't want to part with Elam............FFS

As vague as it gets. I’d say this guy knows nothing.

It could be true he's not ready to give up on him. Or it could be posturing. Supposedly teams have made overtures to Beane for Elam.

 

Maybe the offers have just been basically a bag of balls and he's putting it out there that he's not going to move him, hoping someone ups their offer.

 

If I'm Beane, I want a 3rd. But I'd settle for a 4th. Maybe, a high 5th. Maybe. But anything less than that and I think I'd rather just hold on to him in the event that he could be a late bloomer.

If they wanted to move him, they would have.  That's how I feel about it at this point.

 

Not sure exactly why they are keeping him if they don't want to play him but apparently they like something enough about him to not give up on a 1st round pick.  And I don't think it's hubris.  He's been good in game other than 1 or 2 games.  They just don't trust him in the system for some reason.

Not even a Klondike Bar?! 😕

[SCBills]

I wouldn’t have moved Elam for anything less than a 4th, so if the offer were less .. I’m good with it.  
 

He’s likely the inactive CB4 from here on out and then we’ll see if Year 3 Kaiir Elam can become anything. 
 

Would rather take a shot on something finally clicking for an elite athlete at CB than give him away.
