DP - Armstrong says the Broncos are well-armed for the draft, although he incorrectly calls the first time they've ever had two first-rounders. (Nice catch, studbucket)
DP - Klis offers a detailed timeline of the departure of our former QB.
DP - Klis finally says Cutler had to go. Contrary to Stefan Fatsis' sources, Klis hears that Cutler never demanded a new contract.
DP - Kyle Orton will make about 1/3 of the money Chris Simms will in 2009. Meanwhile, Bus Cook apparently told the Broncos that Cutler would never play for Eric Mangini, taking the Browns and Brady Quinn out of the trade picture.
FOX - Jeff Legwold looks at McDaniels' willingness to make tough decisions. Not as sharp as usual (getting Cutler's record wrong and discrediting the Denver O-Line), but still better than the DP guys...
CPD - I almost feel guilty passing along such terrible journalism. Maybe it's just poor headline-writing. Either way, Tony Grossi speculates that Denver could still acquire Brady Quinn for the #18 pick in the upcoming draft.
NFL - A spokesman for the NFL says the rumors of draft-eligible players failing drug tests are completely unfounded.
DO - Over in Baltimore Colts territory, they're hoping we feel the pain they felt 26 years ago.
DP - Kiszla responds to some emails about our former QB.
DP - Meanwhile, Armstrong shares the contents of his inbox.
ESPN - For what it's worth, Pork Chop considers some of the Broncos' first-round possibilities.
CST - In Santa Claus, the citizens are talking up our former QB.
KCS - The Chefs have a lot of work to do toward gaining back their fans.
SFG - For some reason, the Raiders aren't scheduling private workouts with the top draft prospects, as they had in the past.
Y! - The Rams signed QB Kyle Boller to be the backup for Marc Bulger.
HC - Kubes and Co. have agreed to terms with free-agent LBs Cato June and Buster Davis.
FOX - Old friend Ephraim Salaam is scheduled to visit the Lions.
NFL - Byron Leftwich may be going home to Washington to be a Redskin.
NFL - I can't find the dedicated link, but on NFL.com Rhett Bomar explains that his favorite QB and the reason he wears No. 7 is for The Greatest Ever.
CBS - Rob Rang looks at the players he says helped and hurt themselves in their pro-day workouts.
NFL - Steve Wyche foresees Denver getting B.J. Raji and James Laurinaitis in his latest mock draft.

Isn't Armstrong Wrong About the 2 firsts?
In 2006, didn’t we have 2 firsts and use them to trade up for Jay? We had the 15th pick (ours) and the 22nd pick (Redskins).

A couple questions....
1. Is there any way we can find out who has come to Denver for “private workouts?” I have heard Beanie Wells has been here, but who else? You would think we would have reporters who would at least mention this as a side note when they are reporting how many times Bus Cook farted.
2. Everyone is saying Cushing and Maualuga can’t play 3rd down. Is it really that they can’t play 3rd and long (passing downs) but can play 3rd and short (rushing downs)?
Thanks for all the hard work
From watching USC games (#2)
it wasnt that they “couldn’t” play third down it was more “we have to many friggin all American linebackers so we play the best for each position.”
Basically depending on the situation they used their best fire power on every down regardless of how it affected draft stock.

Tony Grossi is another one of our terrible local writers in Cleveland
He is even worse than Terry Pluto, if you ask me.
"I am not one of those who think that coming in second or third is winning." -- Robert F. Kennedy
Does it matter?
Can somebody explain to me why it would matter if Jay wanted to play for Mangini or not? I understand it is over and done but as a procedural question why should the coach consider if the player wants to go to where he is being traded? Does the player have the right to void a trade deal? It seems to me it should be something along the lines of “if you don’t want to play for Mangini you’ll have to take that up with him…”
Remember Plummer
It does matter. It would have done the Broncos no good to trade Jay to Cleveland. If he doesn’t report, the trade is voided. Remember the Jake Plummer to Tampa Bay deal? It would have been like that.

and Cleveland likely wouldn't have pulled the trigger
If Bus told them that Cutler wouldn’t report…

Love the Quote
How apropos. Lou Holtz drives me nuts, but that’s an awesome quote.

Ah yes...
Plummer. Don’t know why we ever signed him. All he ever did was win. Worthless. Thanks guys. Seems simple after you explained it.

Hah!

I wouldn’t say so, no. And thanks again for John Elway!

I like this from Klis' article.
But his actions here in the past five weeks were destructive to those he would eventually leave behind. Cutler’s actions said his feelings were more important than keeping Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal as his teammates. Cutler’s actions said all that protection he received from Ryan Clady, Ben Hamilton, Casey Wiegmann, Chris Kuper and Ryan Harris didn’t mean as much as his own self-interest.
The fact that Cutler said he played for his teammates and not his coaches, is what I am disappointed the most about him.
GO BRONCOS IN 2009 AND BEYOND!!
B Marsh's disposition during the NFLTA interview said it all
I still wish the best for Jay, hoping he will still some day manage to thicken his skin and reach his potential… but it appears there’s not likely to be a lot of love lost in the locker room.
