Remaining players from 2008

With the official release of Brandon Stokley only 13 players remain from the purge of Shanahan’s last team the 2008 Denver Broncos. There were 65 players that were on the game day roster. 52 of them are gone. Most of the players remaining are starters. Five of them are in the last year of their contracts. Champ Bailey is the most notable, but he will likely get an extension. Players that are likely to be gone after the 2010 season are Marcus Thomas and Wesley Woodyard. Ryan Harris is a very good right tackle, but he is very injury prone and may not be resigned if the team thinks they can find a replacement. That would leave only nine players from 2008. Daniel Graham and Eddie Royal are candidates to not be resigned after their contracts are up. Graham will be 33 and very expensive. Royal has already had replacements drafted in Eric Decker and Demaryius Thomas. So in three seasons removed that would only leave seven players on the roster. That would be only 20% of the 53 man roster. If that isn’t rebuilding I don’t know what is.

Player	Age	Contract ends	Years remaining (including 2010)
Marcus Thomas	24	2010	1
Ryan Harris	25	2010	1
Champ Bailey	32	2010	1
Wesley Woodyard	24	2010	1
Matt Prater	26	2010	1
Daniel Graham	31	2011	2
Eddie Royal	24	2011	2
Mario Haggan	30	2011	3
Spencer Larsen	26	2011	3
Ryan Clady	24	2013	4
D.J. Williams	28	2013	4
Chris Kuper	27	2015	6
Elvis Dumervil	26	2015	6

Turn on your sarcasm meter.

Sorry, this was supposed to be a humorous carry over from another thread. I can see where it could strike someone unfamiliar with said other thread as being pretty whacked out.

My meter must be busted as well.

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood..."

You knew I was joking, right? After I posted I thought, “boy, that sure could come accross as coming out of left field.”

I predict that nobody sane will be talking about getting rid of Royal by the end of this season.

I hope this is true. I think Eddie is a stud.

Eddie Royal Will Remain A Bronco

Early indications from the Jacksonville game are that Eddie will be a stud this year as Coach McDaniels is properly inserting him into the offense. His speed and athleticism are something to be reckoned with if they are at full health and at proper usage.

Moving on from the purge of players from Shanahan’s era, I believe the addition of former Patriot Laurence Maroney will hugely alleviate the pain we’ve had recently in the running game. He is a bruising goal-line back, and if you look at his highlight reels, has HUGE potential in this league.

I’m liking our chances against Seattle this week, a team that should definitely not be overlooked. Only one week at a time folks.

Pat Bolwen was in the team rebuilding mold the day he fire Shanahan...From the coaching staff on down.

by bfree2bronc on Sep 15, 2010 6:50 PM MDT reply actions

Jarvis Moss was in the Shanahan era, I believe

Drafted at the same time as Thomas. At least I don’t see his name there.

It takes neither courage nor intelligence to cheer for a team only when that team wins. The true test of a fan's mettle is the same as it is for a player: Were you there when you were needed?
