Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3682457, member: 9052"] True.. there was a post earlier that had Patty, Payne, Willison, BTK, Jensen and Kobe all in the same 17... it felt to me that we might have one too many middles in the same bracket... if we try to retain them all... because realistically you only need 5 middles for each game, so eventually you start paying overs for a guy that may not be in your 17 each week. The club has made decisions on Patty being the leader... rightly so he's the gun in our pack and I'd say the most irreplaceable. Payne is being paid the most, but on shorter contracts... I'd say that's a Payne decision to keep things flexible with the moving cap, etc., but either way broncos are committed to him. BTK was already locked down until 2026 and is probably on the cheapest contract, but has potential on his side and broncos will be looking at 2025 to evaluate where he is actually at. He may end up pushing for one of those 5 spots in the 17 as early as next year. Willison is now the first re-signing out of the last bunch... being him, Jensen and Kobe. I think Semu is signed until like 2027 so he would fall into the same bracket as BTK and over the next few years he'll be playing cup with the coaches able to evaluate his potential. If he comes along that could see him go past both Jensen and Kobe, so I would think we only need to commit to one of Jensen or Kobe... unless they both take club friendly deals, but that could leave one of them sitting in QCup in the near future. Semu could also be like many other young forwards that come through, but are unable to create a career for themselves. The broncos have put themselves into a position of leverage when it comes to middle forwards by locking down Willison, Patty and Payne. [/QUOTE]
