Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

Broncos kicker Matt Prater might be candidate for franchise tag
Depends on the offer. He missed atleast 6 FGs. He cost us the first OAK game, almost cost us against MIA, played poorly against OAK the 2nd time, and missed a key FG versus CHI. We have holes at: DL, WR, FB, Secondary, and backup RB
I see a deal getting done with Prater. I think he enjoys kicking in Denver. Although I'll always have a soft spot for Jason Elam; I think Prater has made many fans forget about him with some of his clutch kicks.

So paying a clutch K in his prime around 3-4 mil per year would be bad, the saying goes, you don't know what you got until it's gone.
And, didn't know he was supposed to be perfect, news to me.
Peppers blocked that kick vs CHI btw.
Of course we got holes, but i wouldn't trade Prater, he's huge for us with the close games we're in.

And exactly for what would you trade him for, and who replaces him.
Big deal, he missed a few kicks, when push came to shove, he was clutch, and without him, we don't make the PO's. And we don't have as many holes as you think.

Sure, with our holes I'd trade a K who can't hit 40 yarders for the right price

I don't see him getting franchised! Obviously the Broncos want to sign him long term. He is a kicker and probably LOVES kicking in Colorado! I expect to see him locked up for multiple years this offseason.
Broncos VP of Football Operations John Elway said Wednesday that his preference is to keep free agent K Matt Prater with a long-term deal rather than the franchise tag.
"We don’t want to use it," Elway said of the tag. "We’d like to get a deal done." Behind Willis McGahee and Demaryius Thomas, Prater was perhaps the Broncos' most valuable offensive player in 2011. He turns 28 before the season.
