    Talking More money Up in smoke!!!

    Denver has wasted a lot of Salary/ Cap space lately. Let's look at were 55 million dollars in just guaranteed money went.

    Matt Lepsis= 9mil---- take the money and run!
    Javon Walker= 15mil----cost a second round pick as well
    Travis Henry= 12mil all them kids ain't cheap!
    Simion Rice= 3mil--- WTH was that about?
    Dre Bly= 16mil ---- he sucks, get over it.


    What a waste, it was a small miracle Denver won as many games as they did last year. I think it was five by last minute field goals. And the poor money management made it so they couldn't even pay Elam his 3 mil for his services.

    On a side note the waste of money is hurting the front office operation. Money is now so tight they have to share one pen and recycle toilet paper. Poor silly ponies!

    Because Henry already had surrendered a $6 million option bonus earlier this year in a contract renegotiation, the Broncos’ hit against the salary cap for Henry’s release is expected to be in the $4.8 million range.

    And because they released Henry after June 1, the Broncos can split that total between the ’08 and ’09 seasons.

    also the elam deal we were only 250k short of atlantas offer. But elam wanted it all guranteed upfront. Which means he only wants to play another year or so. We want a long term option.

    So we got long term and cheap!

    And we can spend a lot of money or a little, but most of our bling is in the picture beefstew posted...

    Thats money san diego will never get to spend, let alone see.
    The Plan at the moment:

    Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).

    Players I want:
    Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
    Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
    Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell

    at least denver can afford a stadium for their team to play in. . . .





    “When we do find that guy, we’ve got to have the continuity on the offensive side to where we can train him and develop him and get him there. This is our fourth offense in probably three or four years. Quarterbacks need to be developed. You don’t find one ready-made. We got to have a solid system in place for when we do go after whatever guy it may be, a young guy or a trade or whatnot.”

    I suggest you do a little more research on how an NFL contract works.

    Come back and give me a 2,000-word report on it.

    TIA.

    and travis won exactly as many rings in his one year in denver as LT has in a career in san diego. . . of course, LT is a sure-fire hall of famer. . . . since his career is winding down, i hear that they're already working on his bust-- they're going to use a pose from the biggest game of his career. . . .
