    Well, he's not going to get ready on the bench and DT isn't doing much. He's averaging about 53 yards per game right now (372 yards) Sutton isn't far behind him statistically sitting at 246 yards despite limited playing time due to being behind DT on the depth chart.

    Not only that, but we've got the potential of getting Jordan Taylor back off IR soon, he's back at practice and healthy and we have one more return from IR designation available. Worst case, he can step up into #2 once DT's gone.

    And what about the attention DT gets from the defense?

    Does DT still get that much attention from the defense? I'd be shocked if he gets anything more than single coverage anymore.

    He still gets safety help some of the time, along with getting the #1 corner. All of that attention would get shifted to Sanders if he were gone.

    I hope that does happen, I'll enjoy seeing Sutton in the pro bowl next year.

    He wont be going anywhere, he is the team's franchise player. He is basically our Ray Lewis.

    Yeah, but Von's victims are all on the field.

It’s sad that the madden/ draftnik generation has forgotten what loyalty means and everything seems to be about what kind of draft pick you can get for a top player. News flash, the shit you find in the crapshoot draft is normally NOT better than what you already have.
    Eh, loyalty really doesnt exist anymore whether its the organization or the players. We saw the beginning of that when Sharpe and Atwater moved on to other teams. Both ended coming back in their own ways but FA had changed the entire landscape of how the NFL and players do business.

Its funny though we had complaints about WR depth and finally we have the best depth at WR we have had in years and we want to get rid of some of it again....uuuuggggghhhhhhh
    Except its not about want, its about need. I cant understand how people whom i know are smart enough to talk football on here simply dont understand that Denver isnt loaded with cash. You cant keep every single player that you want. For all of those griping about the possibility of DT being traded maybe you should actually consider the fact DT doenst seem to want to take a pay cut to stay? This isnt all on the organization here.

    No one knew Rod Smith would become the player he did, sometimes you just have to let the other guys play and see where the chips fall. DT isnt the first great WR to play the game and wont be the last and since Denver is gong nowhere fast to move him makes sense.

    I’m not disagreeing with this.

    No doubt. Smart teams pay guys for what they can do in the future, not for what they did in the past. I think we all love DT and appreciate what he's done as a bronco, but his best days are clearly behind him. If he were willing to take a massive paycut to stay and take a back seat to Sutton as the number one guy then I'd be ok with it, but he probably won't do that and I really don't blame him. And given that, best to get what we can for him now instead of inevitably getting rid of him next year for nothing.

    Have we thought about maybe turning him into a safety?
