The Broncos are still standing their ground on the fact that they will not be making any calls to trade away disgruntled Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall but that does not mean that they will not be taking any calls from teams interested in trading for Brandon Marshall.
Adam Schefter from his Twitter Page has reported that the Broncos while not making calls are listening to offers for Brandon Marshall. Schefter has said that they would even accept simply a first rounder for him when the market calls for a 1st and a 3rd. Assuming that Schefter is almost always spot on, this pretty much tells us that Brandon Marshall won’t be a Bronco for long.
Stop the presses lol. Anywho, according to PFT (and yes I realize this is two days late) Brandon Marshall quoted as such: “I hate this f–king city.” he said to the Denver police as he was being arrested. Marshall and his agent have niether confirmed or denied this report.
Not much big news has happened while I have been on my European Vacation, you know if you don’t count the surprising death of Michael Jackson. But, I am speaking more to the Broncos. As for them, I decided it would just be easier to recap what I have missed.
On Thursday, Casey Wiegmann the Broncos recently resigned Center faced the death of his friend and coach Ed Thomas who was tragically shot in the head. Here is what he had to say about the truly saddening event:
Hey Bronco Maniacs! I just thought I would give you a heads up that I am going to be overseas for the next 2 whole weeks. I will be able to keep Bronco Madness up, so don’t worry but it will probably not have as many updates.
Still, I would suggest for more news while Bronco Madness is gone going to our twitter page at twitter.com/broncomadness. Feel free to check that out for news and more updates. You can probably even stalk my vacation… (Insert nervous laugh here)
Go Broncos!
The Denver Post’s Lindsay Jones is reporting that disgruntled, star receiver Brandon Marshall will be flying back to his home in Orlando California. This comes the day after he held a camp in Denver for local girls and boys open to anyone interested and totally free of charge.
Marshall last week did not report to the Broncos Mandatory Organized Team Activities (commonly referred to as OTA’s). When asked about it though, he did not go into great detail on what he thought his future as a Denver Bronco was:
We are only about two months away from when the Broncos have to narrow down their roster down to only 53 active players. So, I have given you what I think will be the 53 man roster by the end of pre-season. As an added bonus I told you who I think will be in the practice squad!
QB: Kyle Orton, Chris Simms, Tom Brandstater
TB: Knowshon Moreno, Correll Buckhalter, LaMont Jordan
FB: Peyton Hillis
WR: Brandon Marshall, Eddie Royal, Brandon Stokley, Brandon Lloyd, Jabar Gaffney, Kenny McKinley
The Broncos yesterday released Linebacker Boss Bailey, the brother of Champ Bailey. On Wednesday the Broncos released Louis Green a Linebacker who was a stand out on special teams and has played in 64 games for the Broncos since being signed in 2003.
Today Josh McDaniels released another three players from the roster including both undrafted free agents and a player from the Mike Shanahan era.
A busy week in the most quiet part of the season for the Denver Broncos. Yesterday sources have announced that we released special teams standout, Linebacker Louis Greene from the roster who had been a favorite of Mike Shanahan for many years.
Today though, we released another Linebacker, Boss Bailey the injury prone brother of Broncos Cornerback Champ Bailey.(Next: Champ Bailey asks for trade from team.) Boss was extremely gracious though when asked about it:
Denver Broncos disgruntled and troubled wide receiver Brandon Marshall has officially asked for a trade and there is also talk that the Broncos will allow him to leave. He even put a post up on his blog stating that he felt it was time for change.
Yesterday there were rumors surfacing that he could potentially end up in Baltimore with Joe Flacco. Now, there are rumors that he could end up in Cleveland according to ProFootballTalk.coms’ own Mike Florio.
Adam Schefter who will soon move his work to ESPN, from NFL Network still seems to understand the pulse of the NFL and even on leave right now from NFL Network, he still proved just how much he knows.
Today in a Monday morning segment with 850 KOA in Denver, Schefter said that Marshall asked owner Pat Bowlen to be traded during their Friday meeting. The irony? Adam Schefter was also the man who broke the story on Jay Cutler and how he had been shopped.
After day 2 of the Denver Broncos mini-camp, Quarterback Kyle Orton has been named starter of the Denver Broncos after a battle with Chris Simms throughout OTA’s.
Orton we received when we Jay Cutler and in exchange also got two first rounders. It was expected that he would be named the starting QB eventually but this hiring goes to show that he must have mastered the playbook quickly.
Things right now couldn’t be worse for the Denver Broncos. It hasn’t been about two months since the Jay Cutler saga and now we open the B-Marsh saga. Wheee!!! I mean seriously, how stupid could we possibly be?
For those of you with short attention spans, let me remind you that yesterday Brandon Marshall failed to show up for Mandatory Mini-Camps. But don’t worry, because McD following the incident said Marshall would show up later in the day.
We just got this in from Denver Bronco.coms Twitter: The Broncos this Friday signed Center Blake Schlueter to from Texas Christian University. As per club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed. He was selected in the seventh round (225th overall) of the 2009 NFL Draft.
As a senior, Schlueter was a first-team all-conference choice after starting all 13 games and blocking for an offense that ranked 12th in the nation in rushing yardage. TCU had an 11-2 record and he was one of the cornerstones for their Offensive Line.
The Denver Post reported today that Brandon Marshall was a no-show this morning to the mandatory off-season workouts. Marshall is in the final year of a four-year contract that will pay him $2.198 million this year.
He is supposed to be unhappy with the contract as well as unhappy with the training staff that mis-diagnosed his hip injury last season and now is having to get lots of work done on it.
Today the Denver Broncos waived three of their players all of which were undrafted free agents that we picked up late in April.
The players we waived tackle Marcus Gordon from Kentucky State, linebacker Braxton Kelley from Temple University and wide receiver Travis Shelton from University of Kentucky.
