Why not give Fitz more years with less up front in year one? 4 years, 45M with just 8M guaranteed in year one or something like that?
Because fitz ain't good enough to commit to long term imo
I think this is where Elway is at. Fitz is 33 already even with a multi year contract he's a band aid. Elway will lean on his monster D to soften the impact a young QB will have on the W-L column.
I think they go after a QB in round 1. Denver has enough picks to trade to move up if needed.
