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.

May end up being an even better bargain than it seems at first glance if the league goes all in on the heavy sets riding this RB resurgence wave
