So cross him off Denver's list as well.
And I think it establishes pretty loudly what Bolton's market was. If Sherwood is worth 3/$45, Bolton is as well. And Bolton's probably worth more.
I just think we're working pretty hard to ignore his value in the running game. He's an awfully critical component of our improvements there. And he's still only 25 years old -- there's every reason to believe that he can continue to improve in play recognition and iron out some wrinkles in coverage.
His ceiling isn't super high but his floor is obvious.

Random late night thought after reading this.
The league seems to value LB's that are great pass protectors in a pass heavy league. Same with OT if you're a pass heavy team. Yet we're currently the opposite. Run-centric LB and a strong IOL when we're a pass heavy team. We've been zagging a lot recently, and yet we're still successful. Is that just because Mahomes and Andy are THAT magical that we can get away with it, or is there more proof in the pudding?
