Broncos sign CB Andre Goodman

Posted Sun Mar 1st by

It’s good to know that despite all of the controversy 32 year old Josh McDaniels had to endure today he still kept to the task at hand.  Adam Schefter reports that Denver signed cornerback Andre Goodman to a 5 year 25 million dollar contract that includes 10 million guaranteed. Even though Goodman is 30 years old he had a career high 5 interceptions last season and an amazing 19 passes defended (11 more than Dre’ Bly). This price tag is pretty steep and a 5 year deal seems kind of long for his age, so his production better make it worth Mike Nolan’s while. What do you think Denver? Will Goodman be an improvement over Bly? How much of an impact do you think he will really be?

    yeehaw, we’re looking good. Now draft some D-line help, say sorry to Jay, take a look at Ward and BRING ON 2010!!
    Go Broncos

    Just like with Renaldo Hill, McD had to game-plan against this guy twice a year, so I trust that he knows what he’s doing here.

    My hesitation with both, of course, is that Miami had a pretty bad pass defense with a decent pass rush (see Joey Porter).

    Now I”m hoping for at least one more defensive linemen signing, and then we’ll be set for the draft. Has anyone heard anything about Mike Wright?

  • Colorancher

    Glad to see that we are still getting better on d-fence. good pick up.

  • Jordan C

    So wikipedia says that Wright signed his RFA tender at $1.417 mil. I haven’t heard any rumors that the Broncos would want to sign him. I can’t imagine why they wouldn’t try.

    Does anyone know, would the Broncos have to give up anything to the Pats to sign him (since he was undrafted)?

    Hooray… now can we finally address that D-line???

  • ryan

    I would have rather seen the Broncos pay an extra 5 million and get Bartell or McFadden.

  • kerry

    Goodman is a decent signing for ONE reason only. 3-4 secondary schemes require alot of zone play. he can play zone despite his age. but the secondary is older now then last year.

  • Vince_Marine

    Good pick up here. I like what they are doing. Can’t wait to see the new defense in action!!!

    Dre’ Bly got shafted.

    So far I think we’re doing about as well as we can, basically putting together a completely new defense out of free agency, but I have no excitement for it, really. Curiousity, to be sure, but unless we get a top NT out of the draft, I see this defense sucking pretty bad.

  • WhidbeyBronco

    I think the key to any legit nfl starting CB being better than Bly or even Champ is still; bring the level of up front play up to where they feel comfortable playing only their position… trusting that the tackles in front of them will be made. I saw Champ miss a LOT of coverages the last two seasons trying to cheat off his man/area too much.
    (Bly on the other hand got beat a LOT when he wasn’t cheating)
    I suppose this is obvious but it’s the reality that makes it ok for me, getting Goodman rather than Bartell or McFadden.

  • WhidbeyBronco

    …assuming we truly improve our talent on the D line

  • BroncoFan18

    i really think what we’ve done in free agency is great but NT is the most important position in the 3-4….d-line is most important and so far we haven’t done much in that category

  • BroncoinVA9986

    the front seven is gonna be the focus of this draft…well atleast we think. I mean God knows they might just draft a wideout with our first pick
    the way things are going who knows…………………………………………………………………………………I like JACK WILLIAMS….but that because I have a bias he is from my area………

    I ALSO WANT TO SEND A BIG SHOUT OUT TO BRIAN DAWKINS>>>>>>CONSIDERING I AM LIFE LONG CLEMSON TIGER FAN

  • BroncosFan24

    are we still going after Ray Lewis?

  • Anthony

    I think that Josh McDaniels is off to a bad start. he’s already alienating his starting QB and some other members of the team. His hiring was controversial to begin with, and this how he wants to start things out?
    Bowlen needs his head examined.

  • http://BroncoTalk.net Mr.East

    Lewis will likely end up back in Baltimore.

  • broncobobmeridian

    has it been reported yet the marshall got arrested again? Read this

    wow i think champ goodman and hill are all 30 and dawkins is 35…. pressuming that those 4 are the starters which i’m sure most right now are assuming they will be… we better be dead on with our d line picks/ pick ups… because we are looking worse then the green bay packers at how old our secondary is… were gonna need to get some young talent in within the next few years… if josh bell and barret work out then were half way there

  • soxbigdog

    With Hill, Dawkins, and now Goodman.. it makes me think that the front office believe the secondary in the draft was going to be weak, and that there was more to be had on the defensive line.. so (hopefully starting with BJ Raji) there will be a run on DL’s in the broncos early picks
