DB - Hosting Camps to Give Back
Gray Caldwell speaks with three Broncos hosting football camps this summer - Darrell Reid, Daniel Graham and Chad Jackson. DG says he was inspired during his childhood by school visits from Alfred Williams and Shannon Sharpe. Many current Broncos helped out at DG's camp, including several rookies.

DB - NFL Network: Hardest Hitters - Steve Atwater
Man, do I ever miss the days of Atwater and Smith. We may never see that again in Denver, but at least we've finally got some serious talent back there now. Dawkins, Hill, McBath, Bruton, Barrett. Sounds a lot better than McCree and Manuel, doesn't it?
DB - NFL Network: Hardest Hitters - John Lynch
Wow, what an amazing bunch of John Lynch hits. He actually knocked out his best friend/brother-in-law in a game once. And then just walked away...
SI - Brett Favre, Minnesota Vikings both motivated by money - Don Banks
Don Banks speaks with Meshawn Johnson about being a WR diva; Key has some harsh words for BMarsh.
FOX - Schein: Marshall staying put - Video
Adam Schein tells BMarsh he's got chance of going anywhere. He does offer up some misinformation, as Brandon will NOT be a free agent next year. Well, not one who can get a lot of money; Denver could still stick him with a first-round tender which would garner Marshall less than $3 million in 2010.

Eddie Royal appeared at the symposium, telling the incoming rookies to spend more time working out and preparing for the season. He also stressed the importance of talking to veterans and seeking their guidance.

Here is the second part of Knowshon's video diary
NYT - Quick Hands From Nicks, and a Bond Between Sanchez and Stafford
YouTube clip from the "NFL Rookies Got Talent" featuring several top draft choices. Knowshon is up last, but it's worth the wait. Kid is a comedian, for sure. He's also got some singing pipes!
CL - Reaching out
Former Broncos WR Willie Green is among a select few African-Americans to own a golf course, and he is helping introduce the game to children who would otherwise find golf inaccessible.
DP - There's only one No. 7 in Colorado — and it's not Chauncey
Chauncey Billups wore #7 for one year in Denver as a tribute to his idol, The Greatest Ever. Now, he's switching to #1 so there will be only one #7 in Denver. That's just awesome.

thank you NYC
I like the classiness of Billups in changing numbers as a tribute to Elway.
Wonder if we should approach Seth Smith of the Rockies to do the same? :)
Pray for the best, prepare for the worst, and know you will come down somewhere between the two.

Thanks NYC, loved the video links.
Funny video of NFL rookies got talent. Moreno has got some pipes and the girl in the video is hot. What Atwater said about Okoye just cracked me up: “I don’t give a bleep if he is playing WR” Funny, funny stuff. Nobody will forget that hit and man was that a HIT.
I thought since this is Marshall’s last year of his rookie contract and his 4th year in the league, he will be a free agent at the end of the season. I mean I fully expect the Broncos to tag him with either a first round tender or franchise tag him. However, this is all based on the fact that is stays in Denver this year. Also on another not, I know the CBA could change the UFA to 6 years instead of 4. Is that going to happen this year?

Hmmm... McGinest in orange and blue?
I’d rather see that than to see him in red, yellow and white.
Whattaya think?

Broncos Taking Calls on Marshall
Posted in Broncos Buzz by Kyle on Thu Jul 2nd
This comes as little surprise, and confirms most speculation, but the Denver Broncos are taking calls on wide receiver Brandon Marshall after the disgruntled fourth-year player asked to be traded in June, Adam Schefter reports on his Twitter page. Schefter indicates the Broncos aren’t actively making calls, but are willing to listen to offers.
If the right offer comes along (Schefter speculates a first-round draft pick would do it), the Broncos would likely execute a trade.
A first rounder and then some.
