Andra Davis Cut
36 replies
Josina Anderson of Fox 31 KDVR in Denver reports the Broncos have released ILB Andra Davis. The Denver Post confirms.
The move is a surprise as the 31-year-old had a fine first season in Denver, exceeding expectations with 90 tackles and 3.5 sacks as a key figure in the team's surprising 6-0 start.
There not very happy over in Bronco land. They felt he was one of their best defensemen. Nolan connection .....and probably could come at a reasonable Dolphin price...
Move over Crowder.....Torbor who ?
Would add good depth and compete with Crowder to start.
forgot him already, Torbor too
I'm pretty sure his name is either Reggie, or Creighton.
Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.
I doubt he signs with us for a SHOT at being the #2 ILB. He will land somewhere with a guarantee to start. He is too good.
PLEASE TRADE CROWDER TO DENVER!!!
Crowder Ginn and a late round for Marshall
then of course sign davis and draft Mcclain
getting released for good reason.
Don't want him.We can...
....and will do better before the season starts.

Release Torbie fully loaded, move Dansby outside, keep Crowder, Davis becomes starting ILB, Taylor and Wake pick up WOLB duties.
yeah, im sure dansby will be thrilled that he is being moved to a new position one week after signing a deal to be the highest paid ILB in the NFL. and all because Andra Davis is released. :lol: oh, and JT isnt a Dolphin.

Think before you type.:up:

I'm sure the FO will do their due diligence and give the matter the attention it deserves. Factor in the Nolan connection, add I'd say there's a good chance they pursue him. Assuming of course he fits the scheme, and isn't on Nolan's s**t list for some unknown reason.
On a side note, I don't know that much about him. But, if he's an upgrade on CC, and it might mean showing CC the door...I'm all for it!

THIS is one of the best posts of the day :yes:
If Crowder can net us a 5th rounder or higher I'd ship him out and sign Davis tomorrow.
I'd like to see him signed for ILB depth, but he probably wants to start. If Nolan likes him, maybe move Dansby to OLB?
I'd love to see JT re-signed and used mostly as a pass rush specialist along with Wake. Let Dansby man one OLB spot, but who would start at the other? I guess JT would be the best option right now. On passing downs Crowder or Andre can leave the field, Dansby goes to ILB, and Wake comes in at OLB.
A terrible play call, terribly executed.
If it weren't for the fact that he performed so well for Nolan I'd say they'd ignore him and go with Crowder. They'll give him a look to be certain since he is an improvement although he's the same in coverage. A three man rotation at LB doesn't hurt though especially if Folsom becomes the 4th guy as the coverage LB.
Bring this man back into the fold if you want some real leadership on this team.
We should sign this guy ASAP. Considering Crowder's knees aren't the best, it would be foolish to not jump at the chance to add another ILB, especially a good one, into the mix. What is wrong with Davis and Crowder competing for one spot? Competition brings out the best. And, if both play great, Dansby can play SAM equally as well as he can play inside. He is more experienced at SAM too.
The only reason to not sign Davis would be if we have 8 LBers already who are decidedly better. I think everyone knows the answer to that.

Andra Davis cut by Broncos
"In what may be the Broncos' most stunning transaction of the offseason, the team released inside linebacker Andra Davis today.
The Broncos also released defensive tackle J'Vonne Parker.
Davis, 31, started 13 of 16 games at the strongside inside linebacker position while helping the Broncos make the conversion from the 4-3 to 3-4 defensive system. He had 90 tackles."

Only mention this because he played for Nolan last season and he appeared to have a solid season.

I thought maybe when I first heard of his release because of the relationship with Nolan, but I think he would like to go somewhere where he would start unless we a getting rid of someone else.
wHaT?! That's unbelievable.............! When can we get him in to talk to the "Tuna Team"?
I agree. This could be a good signing, because of his familiarity with Nolan. I also don't see why Dansby would be opposed to playing SOLB.

The question I have with that is not if Dansby would be opposed to moving outside but if we are not better with Chrowder and Dansby inside along with Wake/Taylor outside with one of draft picks at the other OLB.
Great balls of fire.......get him in the door and sit him down for a Dolphin chat!
