All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Safety Marlon McCree, who visited Wednesday and Thursday, was trying to hash out a free-agent contract. But the Buffalo Bills and Carolina Panthers are in the running, too, so the Broncos are keeping their options open. There was some talk Friday in NFL circles that the Broncos are out of the running for McCree's services.

I'd feel better if he signed, but I guess Whitner and Simpson aren't all that bad of a tandem. McCree up at SS and Whitner at free would be pretty nice.
McCree would be a great presence if nothing else, which I think is important for a young team and very young secondary. It's getting to the point now where we have good veteran leadership in our LB corps, D-line and corners, only place we dont have any experience or capable backups is safety. I think we're getting all the major pieces of our defense but I'm very shakey about the offense until we sign a Johnson-type guy and draft a nice TE. I think if you draft a stud TE he will have more upside and maybe even more impact this season than a mid-tier FA TE you could sign.

I agree, I think McCree would be a solid pickup. Will I do backflips if we sign him? No, but he is a decent player and could provide some veteran leadership. I too, think we need to go after a top teir TE in the draft rather then signing another team's sloppy seconds.
The Broncos continued to revamp their defense Saturday, inking UFA S Marquand Manuel to a three-year, $4.5 million deal, according to an ESPN.com report. Manuel, a backup for the Panthers last season, received a $500,000 signing bonus.
the panthers have 2 starting safties and one of them they gave a pick up for last year to the bears so i doubt that mcree would want to walk into a backup role. at least in buffalo he would start or at least compete to start. and either way he is a great player and would be awesome to have ko and donte learn from, not too mention he lays the wood everytime he hits someone. i really hope we get him because we can use him, not too mention that his best years were under fewell.
Does anyone think if he signs then Whitner could actually move to CB? Not that I advocate that, but I'm all for putting our best players on the field, and I like Ko.

No....
Whittner is a safety... ss..is his best position but he could play fs...
I think the Bills will sign McCree.. then draft a CB in rd 2 or 3...
I like Flowers,Lowery and Thomas from USC in rd 2 or 3...
