Last year’s quarterfinal carousel was an uninterrupted event, and I don’t expect this year to be any different. In addition, I believe that we will hear a lot of speculation involving the Chicago Bears.
NOW … this is not something I expected:
It is on the “they will examine” list. https://t.co/TabB4ZVSBe

Benjamin Allbright is ridiculously connected to the Denver Broncos situation. So when he tweeted something like that, it alerted us. And while dealing with Foles is not on our radar right now, because all eyes must be on the Bears playoff game against the Saints, that connection was too much to ignore.
Also, when you consider that Denver could hire Bears executive Champ Kelly to be a GM, it’s not something that I could put aside for a long time.
I don’t want to get too deep into the weeds here. But I suppose Bellows may be the kind of defender that the Broncos adds as depth or competition for the Drew Lock holder. Perhaps Foles is seen as a potential mentor to a rising young defender. Don’t mind me. I’m just trying to talk about the idea of Bellows being on the “they’re going to investigate” list for an off-season team after being eliminated after struggling as a starter in Chicago.
On the other hand, football fans of a certain age know that John Elway has an affinity for high QBs, in which Bellows – all six feet tall – fit. And for what it’s worth, the Broncos allegedly “kicked the tires” on the acquisition of Foles before negotiating with Joe Flacco. Hey, when you have a guy, you have a guy. Don’t run from it, hug it.
Again, there is no need to go into that too much. But it is never a bad time to launch something on our radar and put a pin on it for a later date.
