Posted April 14, 2010, 9:46 am MT Tony Scheffler likely next out Dove Valley’s door
By Mike Klis Comments (3)

Brandon Marshall is gone. And tight end Tony Scheffler may be following him out the Dove Valley doors. Scheffler, the Broncos’ top pass-catching tight end, is close to signing his restricted free-agent tender with the Broncos, a move that _ as the Marshall situation taught us _ is a formality step preceeding the team’s ability to trade him.

At that point, the Broncos will have completed an UnHoly Trinity overhaul of sorts as Jay Cutler, Marshall and Scheffler _ three of the biggest weapons from the Mike Shanahan era _ will have been traded away in a span of 13 months.


I haven't seen this posted yet. If it has, please merge it, mods.

Broncos' Scheffler will sign tender, clearing way for trade

Tony Scheffler will sign his tender today, a transaction formality that transfers the Broncos' tight end from restricted free agency to the trading block.

Brandon Marshall, the Broncos' No. 1 receiver, signed his $2.512 million tender Tuesday and was traded today to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for second-round picks in the 2010 and 2011 drafts.

Scheffler will sign his $1.176 million tender today with the understanding the Broncos need to control his rights before they can trade him.

The Broncos hope to get a third-round pick in return for Scheffler, whose 13.7 yards per catch tops all tight ends since he came into the league in 2006.



A 3rd? Not likely.

Certainly more a o sure thing than TS is.

HE could not wait to have the season end.

Got his ass set down for it.

HE has ZERO use for the DEN offense if he can't block on the LOS.

So clear him out for what ever you can get for him and move on.

WHO cares what he did before if he can't block a DE enough to slow him down he is as worthless as a tit on a boar.

Yeah, because losing Scheff's 34.5 catches, 474 yards, 3.5 TD's per year and matador blocking are going to keep us from winning the super bowl.

the NE model is built around a TE that can catch BUT is primarily a BLOCKING TE something that TS could never master or simply did not think he had to.

I would not be surprised to see another TE taken this year to be ready when Graham moves on.

I know this is a joke, but these trades I could live with, hell I'd be happy. Orton to Oakland, don't have to worry about the long bomb against our aging secondary. Alphonze Smith might get an INT. Scheffler to Seattle for a 4th is better than AFC Bengals for a 5th. Doom to Buffalo. A 1st and a Third from a team that will pick top 10 next year with a restructered rookie cap in a heart beat.

Jessus JR, we are not NE and again, McD is not Billichick. Your love for the Pats is blinding. :rolleyes:

And yep....... maybe we can move up to the second round again and draft a TE that is expected to be a rookie FA. That was a great move. :tsk:

I think the value for a malcontent TE who can't block is about a 5th or 6th rounder. This draft is full of good pass catching TE's.

How are we as fans supposed to be excited about that? Especially when we are stocking up on draft picks with a coach who hasn't shown a great propensity in the draft.

How were you excited about that group under Shanahan? Are we as fans so close minded that we only look at the positives and ignore the negatives from some of those players? So far, McDaniels has done no worse than we did with Shanahan with the same players. Although i agree that his moves since he came here have me scratching my head. I dont know why he couldnt use a guy like Hillis at FB. It still baffles me but the guy has his own way and system of doing things. And you know what Gem, maybe he's in over his head. I dont know but then nobody does until the dust clears. Im just taking this shit in stride because if he fails its not on me the fan, its on him and Bowlen. Bowlen made it a point to say that he wants Denver back in the Super Bowl but any logical fan will understand that the coach is going to do it his way and with his players. Most of the team buys into what McD is preaching. And those that dont are escorted out or let go because they dont fit into his system or philosphy. Im not pro McD nor am i anti-McD because i put my allegiance into players.

I put mine into the team itself and if McD falls flat on his face than we replace him and move on, simple as that. But no one is going to tell me that Marshall, Cutler, or Hillis are the answer either because we seen the W/L record with those guys under two different HC's. Denver has been in a funk before and they will get out of it just like last time whether its with McD or some other coach. But Bowlen is only going to tolerate medicore or losing seasons to long before he replaces the coach again. Some people think McD has a long leash, i disagree. I think he needs to make HUGE strides this year so whatever he feels is the best for the team im on board with. Im not a Cutler or Marshall fan so i guess those losses just dont make me break down and cry like some of the others so maybe thats the difference there.

i think you're absolutely right-- IMO, JMFMCD's career in denver really will depend on having a productive draft. . .

people can argue for the rest of the millenium about whether or not they were the right moves, but it's hard to deny that a large portion of our productive young talent has been shipped off over the past year. . . in terms of proven young talents who are signed beyond next year, it's clady and royal-- that's it. . .

granted, last year's class still has a chance to add to those exceptionally thin ranks-- we'll see over the next year or so if any of them can step up to the plate. . . they don't count as of right now, though-- none of them has shown what it takes on the field to be considered a building block. . .

two-three years from now, look at all the guys who'll probably be gone: dawkins, champ, goodman, renaldo hill, jamal williams, stokley, buckhalter-- and that's not counting guys like orton, ryan harris and kuper, who may leave through free agency (i expect harris to), or guys like DJ and dan graham who'll likely be winding down their careers at that point. . .

the '09 and '10 draft classes SHOULD be ready to step in and fill a lot of those holes-- we've seen what happens when draft classes fail and it doesn't work out that way. . . . you can only find so many patches through trades and free agency. . .

You only feel it's the majority because the majority of posters on this site, at least those who are on here on a more common basis are in favor of him. I have yet to read on any site whether media or fanbased where a move he has made that has not had about as equal the amount of scrutiny as to those stating positives about it.

I know...I just don't like the dismantling and the time it's going to take to get new talent and get them to speed. I wasn't happy in Shanny's last couple years but you knew what you had. McDaniels is a mystery. I question his moves so far and don't want to give him a huge rope because in the end he'll walk somewhere else and we're left to deal with his shitty ideas. I shouldn't be so emotionally vested in a football team, but I am.

I promise I hate him more than you do, Clay - maybe more than you hate Brady Quinn. I just don't write much about it all that much anymore. Not much left to be said after all

I think you do. There isnt really any player on the team I like that much anymore though. So Im kinda numb until he gets fired. If he wins I still wont like him.

I figure I can outlast that rat though.

I doubt we get more than a fourth for Scheffler. He's a good receiving tight end, but as we all know Mcdaniels prefers TE's who can block AND catch.

We'll see! I prefer if he's going to get rid of Scheffler or any other player(s) do it asap so we know where we stand in the draft

I know...I just don't like the dismantling and the time it's going to take to get new talent and get them to speed. I wasn't happy in Shanny's last couple years but you knew what you had. McDaniels is a mystery. I question his moves so far and don't want to give him a huge rope because in the end he'll walk somewhere else and we're left to deal with his shitty ideas. I shouldn't be so emotionally vested in a football team, but I am.

Gem, you're a diehard, as are most of us on here. It's alright to get pissed or not, question moves or not, worry about the future or not. The sport itself is one of emotion, I don't care if someone is the toughest person in their neck of the woods, but I bet they teared up or cried like most when the Broncos finally won the Super Bowl.

Yeah, because losing Scheff's 34.5 catches, 474 yards, 3.5 TD's per year and matador blocking are going to keep us from winning the super bowl.

So, what did our 2nd round pick Richard Quinn produce? Just so I know, of course, we're not taking a step backward or anything...:rolleyes: Quinn's ready to start, huh?

Talent doesn't grow on trees. On paper, we've become one of the LEAST talented football teams in the NFL on offense in the span of just 13 months. The Miami Dolphins offense is now better than ours. That's just frickin' SAD folks. If we're not careful, we're going to start competing with Jokeland and Tampa Bay for offensive ineptness and lack of talent. I can't wait!

I sure do hope all those extra draft picks turn out, they've got HUGE shoes to fill and a steep learning curve. Maybe they'll be as productive as our last year's draft class was... :coffee:

The defense better be top 3 next year or we won't even have a prayer of a winning record. :tsk:

04-14-2010, 06:18 PM
I'm confused though. We say that 'we didn't win with Cutler and Marshall, so how is it different?" Really? the TWO whopping years they started together, we didn't go to the Super Bowl? Wow. I thought GOOD teams were built through the draft, yet, we get rid of the best players from one of the best drafts this team has seen? Thats building through the draft???

I can't understand how people wanted immediate success from the HUGE Building blocks that were laid out for this team, but then get excited to trade them away for the mere "possibility" of maybe finding another building block?

SOme people have more of an emotional tie to the team than others. Some can say "Oh well, I didn't make the mistake, HE did." Ok. So I guess we are just supposed to be thrilled with every move and change and then point fingers.

It amazes me that we literally had the draft that could have been HUGE for this franchise for a decade, and before any player from that draft class got the 5 year vet pin, they are moved away.... and for what? Draft picks......oh, and Orton. yay

04-14-2010, 06:23 PM
Im really startring to wonder how much of this is a money issue as well.

Seems alot of our higher end players that are due for higher end contracts are going away.

So what happens in 4 or 5 years(assuming we have a huge draft and find a couple standout stars) will we be moving them as to avoid high paydays?

Just to add a different view to this mess.

Ravage!!!
04-14-2010, 06:23 PM
Another thing....

Its not just the loss of Scheffler. its silly to say "yeah, he's the player that will keep us out of th Super Bowl"..... its the combination. ITs the loss of all the talent that was a friggin SHINING STAR on this team that purely needed to mature to gether.

How long did Manning play with Wayne, Harrison and Edgerin James before getting to the Super Bowl??? Hint, took more than 2 years (Yes, I know James wasn't on the team when they went to their first Super Bowl...that just helps my point). So to state taht this team is "as good" without Cutler and Marshall and Hillis and Scheffller, purely based on them not getting "it done" those two whopping seasons together.... is pretty short minded.

Obviously, if we're ready to get rid of Scheffler, then Quinn must be his replacement, right? All that action he got blocking and catching last year really got him ready for the big leagues. Oh wait, he was a part time STer at best...

He's one injury to Graham away from the starting job and you're okay with this? Get your head out of McDaniels' ass and think for yourself for once you robot! OUR OFFENSE IS PUTRID! Our only remaining weapon on offense didn't even break 1000 yds last year and barely had a 3 YPC average!

I'm really, really, really going to hate saying "I told you so" on a regular basis next year...F*&K!

Do you really want to question my reasoning skills?


OUR OFFENSE IS PUTRID! The one that averaged a field goal a game less than that supposedly elite 2008 offense?


Our only remaining weapon on offense didn't even break 1000 yds last year and barely had a 3 YPC average! That's what happens when you're part of a running back by committee and your center and left guard (until we started Hochstein) are getting blown up repeatedly.

But Scheffler get's the dropsies in the end zone...

which wouldn't be too terrible, but he doesn't know how to block either. Which is why Shanahan, who loved Scheff, had to go out and pay for another good blocking TE.

That makes sense, the Bengals have two picks in the third and two in the fourth round...they can afford to nab a RFA.

Let's hope it's for a third.
