Negative but in a nice way. I hope he gets to read this.

Great point, Jon!

I think that the idea of him remaining in Denver just became a little more concrete.

I can’t help but wonder—-that their is something else….
Last year Brandon said he wanted to be a Bronco for life…
Earlier this year, his comments with nyc…well…
There is more to this than money—-atleast thats what I think
anyway….Rec’d ofcourse

Jon, I hope you sent a copy of this letter to BMarsh via the Broncos or whatever way you can.

I agree with UB3, there has got to be something else going on. Right after the pro bowl, BMarsh was all sunshine and roses and excited about working with the new coach & getting back into practice, then without warning he’s wanting more money or a trade and saying goodbye.

All along I’ve been in the keep him & hope he’ll play & if not, sit him camp; but the more I read & look at the timing & the way this has all come out, I’ve come to believe there is something seriously wrong going on inside BMarsh’s head, and the Broncos would be best served by getting whatever value they can for him in a trade, and let him become someone else’s headache.

It could be a woman messing him up. Past or Present. Hanging around with people that want “Their money” and just want to “Get Paid” (Rasheeda Watley). That kind of mentality tends to rub off on others, i.e. peer pressure. Maybe Rasheeda and her parents are trying to Blackmail BM behind the scenes. There IS some speculation that this could be happening. I have no proof though, its just a thought. Perhaps this is a reason why he seems to need a big payday.

and Brandon’s scared

But he’s got to WANT to be a Bronco……no if’s and’s or but’s.

But they way he’s acted, I won’t freak out if he leaves. I think Jon has laid everything out pretty well. Let’s hope someone with some sense (and not just an agent with selfish motives) is talking with Brandon. Rod Smith has a great track record, and would be an excellent guy for Brandon to talk to. So would Dawkins, and several other vets and retired stars.

I learned (in everything I’ve undertaken since about age 30) that our elders are the ones we should really give some weight to. I hope Brandon learns this quicker than I did.

To tell you the truth, if this is only for a contract extension I would like to see us sign him. I cannot do the, ‘Ashley/Javon’ comparison—they never even touched the foothills of the mountain of potential Brandon could achieve. Nobody at this sight can tell me that Brandon is not a warrior once the game starts—yet all of us saw the drop in yards-after-catch halfway through last season—enter ‘the hip’.

I still think, sadly enough, that the issue is the hip….I really do. I may be totally wrong but I think Brandon knows that ‘his hip’ is going to shorten his career. I don’t think his ‘Outside-Football’ conduct will even be an issue the next four or five years. All of us have watched Brandon ‘grow-in-maturity’ this last 18 months—once this next trial is over I don’t think you’ll see another. Brandon is ‘falling-in-love’ with working with and helping kids in the community—this will become Brandon’s life outside of Football.

However, if I am wrong, and this issue is about fame, money, and the want of both—if fame is transforming Brandon into another Terrell Owens—I say we give him the ‘Left-Footed-Fellowship’ and cleanse the house.

I hate to say that, would hate even more to see it………….but I would rather have a clean house.

For example, this snippet from another site’s discussion, which correlates what I heard at the time about the Darrent Williams killing:

“Woody (Paige) knows exactly what I know about that nightclub deal because we both got the same info from the VERY Cops who talked to ALL the witnesses. It WAS NOT Walker spraying the crowd that started the tension. Long before that Marshall went into a rage when some of the gang bangers of one gang were jawing the Broncos for blowing their playoff chances against San Fran. A bar brawl broke out and It damn near all went down right their and then, according to witnesses. Walker and other Broncos literally had to subdue Marshall and take him out of the club. The tension from that one incident, according to witnesses, lasted all through the rest of the night.

As a matter of fact the cops were inches of holding Marshall accountable for the bar brawl. Which police still feel was the catalyst that led to the shooting.

That’s why the whole thing leaves a bad taste in Woody’s mouth when it comes to that night at the club and Marshall, and quite frankly Pat Bowlen may have some issues with Marshall about that night as well.

There is more to the story of D Will the cops told me I never posted on this board due to peoples emotional connection with Williams. I will say this for Williams, the cops told me it was Williams that almost single handed calmed down the entire club that night."

I know this is all hearsay, but this does jibe with what I heard at the time, and may have something to do with why he feels he needs a new start elsewhere…

“We are very excited that we were able to negotiate an extension for Casey Wiegmann,” Head Coach Josh McDaniels said. “The professionalism and leadership he showed throughout this process was outstanding. He was here every day working hard during our mini camps and conditioning program. Maintaining the continuity of our offensive line was a big priority for us, and we are very fortunate to have a Pro Bowl center like Casey Wiegmann as part of this organization.”

Nice job Jon
