I would've given the money to Olshansky too.

And, Quinn+Rogers for Cutler, is closest thing to a fair trade, I’ve seen so far…

I would love Olshansky

But I disagree with his assessment in a way because a) it would be great to have both and b) Dawkins is filling a need, too. The Broncos were horrible at safety last year, and he’s a great player. Sure, he’s on the downside of his career but I feel like we know what we’ll get from him. Olshansky would also fill a need but it’s hard to argue against Dawkins, imho.

Thx NYC

Glad to see the DP got off their duffs. ; )

That CPD story is just bizarre. I agree with Claus above about the merits of the trade, but if such a thing were proposed one might expect a news story, not just a columnist talking about something in past tense. I scrubbed the CPD to triangulate, but found nada nothing zip zilcho.

I'm just a young know-nothing

but can someone, of proper age, explain how the ‘83 draft is better than the ’06? Cutler, Sheffler, Marshall, Dumerville, Hixon, Kuper and Eslinger. Only one player hasn’t done much, and only two aren’t on the Denver roster anymore. Hixon is still a good player for the Giants and all the others are key players for the Broncos.

Mornign NYC thanks for the tracks

boy these guys are sure smart arent they. Wont let the trade scenarios die

but Terry Pluto says Josh McDaniels may have asked for Shaun Rogers and Brady Quinn in a Jay Cutler deal.

What an Idiot. Of course he would have wanted that, Mangini’s children and their #1 for the next five years. Great journalism there!

Yes San Diego let him leave and he went to Dallas (Olshansky) that is a player I want someone’s cast off that only Dallas wants. Dawkins will upgrade the front 7 and the offense! (personal opinion)

Dave Krieger you are truly a genius you reminded me why you get a paycheck. God I wish guys like HT would take his job.

Kreiger is just making up for the slack now Lincicome is gone...

He is the most clueless writer ever. I understand he is a colimnist, but for all the tea in China, would it hurt him to check facts and get a clue….maybe talk to the other writers at the Den……what am I thinking??? …..
Cool…guess he has no chance then!
