Bronco fans not thrilled with Adam Trautman contract

[ASFN Admin]

The Denver Broncos stayed busy on Sunday, re-signing tight end Adam Trautman to a three-year, $17 million contract. After re-signing linebacker Justin Strnad, this deal seemed like a step back in the eyes of Broncos Country, who believed Denver would swing on a big name such as Tampa Bay Buccaneer Cade Otton.

Fans expressed their disbelief to the signing on social media.

What do you think of the deal?

Well that definitely ain’t TE3 money

Payton literally listed LB, TE, and RB as the biggest weaknesses, and before FA can even start, they might spend big to cement those weaknesses

HUH!?!?!?!?! https://t.co/R2w1j7zLaX

Everyone defending the Broncos extending Adam Trautman needs to read these numbers.

He is NOT a good blocker.

Absolute waste of money and a roster spot. https://t.co/1eG8f2uRHO

I'm perfectly fine with bringing Justin Strnad back, but Tyler Badie and Adam Trautman? https://t.co/EJN9PJUwVcpic.twitter.com/6VlqmgcN0u

We wanna run it back but you let our 4-5th best defensive player hit the open market just so you can bring back Alex Singleton and Adam Trautman

Fire George Paton

I always thought free agency would be disappointing for majority of the fanbase, they’ve already given out their big deals and it’s never a good idea to spend big in free agency.

But between Trautman and Singleton, they’re re-committing to the weak spots on the roster.

News: LB Justin Strnad, TE Adam Trautman stay in Denver, but with substantial raises.#BroncosCountry Views: pic.twitter.com/FgkQpJv3bc

Free agency hasn’t even started yet. Evan Engram was the only TE under contract before this deal.

Signing Trautman does not take Denver out of the TE market this week. https://t.co/6VwWMfPwdZ

Free agency hasn't started yet so...

Re-signing Trautman shouldn't stop them from continuing to add to the TE room. https://t.co/aRz1ErbYHf
