Thread: Broncos Off-season News/Rumor Thread

Denver Post speculates that Broncos RB Mike Bell could be dealt before the NFL Draft.

Bell went from a productive co-starter at tail back in 2006 to bench warmer at full back this season, playing in only five games. The Broncos should be able to acquire a late round pick from a team looking to improve their short yardage running game.

With the price tag for premium cornerbacks on the rise, Champ Bailey and his representatives may talk to the Broncos about a new contract.

Niners signed CB Nate Clements to an $80 million deal last season and Seahawks CB Marcus Trufant and other likely free agents could receive similar deals. The perennial Pro Bowler Bailey has three years remaining on his current contract and the Broncos limited cap space likely would push any contract talk deep into the offseason.

Walker moving on?
Javon Walker | Broncos
Walker wants out of Denver, and Mike Shanahan will probably accommodate his trade demand, writes John Clayton. Shanahan will feel good about having Brandon Marshall and Brandon Stokley as the Broncos' starting receivers. He could use the draft to develop a third receiver.

Speaking of 34. How did Dale Carter work out for you guys?

It's hardly the same level of free agency bust.

I dont know. Perhaps not as high profile, but the Chiefs paid some pretty solid cash for ole' Danny.

However, I only argue because the mention of that douche bag's name cuts me deep.

Well, seeing Neil Smith in a Broncos uniform really tears my heart out.

Good................if we can get a 6th or 7th round pick for him, we made out good. Maybe between Bell, Walker, Henry and Gold, we can get some later round picks to use to move up.

Well, I got used to Neil. I didnt like it at first, but I accepted it. I dont think I would have ever been able to accept Dale Carter. Ever.

they tried to trade him last year and failed-- what makes 'em think his value is higher after spending a year on the bench?

I thought they turned down offers, but they were getting a few?

hmmm. . . i could be wrong, but i'd swear they didn't get any-- i remember them shopping him to green bay, and green bay declining and trading for ryan grant instead (smart move on their part). . .
