REPORT: Broncos Sign WR Samie Parker
Nothing official from the Broncos, but it appears as though the Broncos have signed former Chiefs WR Samie Parker --
Samie Parker
Parker's agent, Jordan Woy, was out of the country Monday, but he was putting the final touches on a contract for Parker. Terms of the deal weren't available, but it was close enough that Parker was making preparations to sign the contract.
The 27-year-old Parker started 22 games over the past two seasons for the Chiefs. He caught 41 passes in 2006 and 24 passes in seven starts last year. Parker was a 2004 fourth-round pick of the Chiefs.
At the owners meetings more than a week ago, Chiefs coach Herman Edwards said teams in the AFC West were moving to taller, bigger and more physical wide receivers because of the physical zone defenses in the division. Last year, the Chiefs used a first-round choice on Dwayne Bowe, who is 6-2, 221 pounds. The Raiders brought in Javon Walker.
Nothing heard along the Darrell Jackson front. I will be getting Chris from Arrowhead Pride to give us his thoughts on Parker.

Questionable signing
That said, I think a gem in this year's draft is K-State's Jordy Nelson. Anybody who lives in Big 12 territory remembers how much impact he had on a decent-at-best team. He's big (around 6'2'', 215) and still runs a 4.5. He's got good hands and isn't afraid to go over the middle. He's a converted QB so he has good knowledge of routes and defenses. Smart, physical, fearless receivers aren't a trend. His combination of ability and knowledge of the game will allow him to contribute much sooner than most young WRs.
If the Broncos grab Nelson in the mid second our passing offense would be golden for years.

I was under the impression
I wasn't a football fan then, so I could have misheard the story.

Like I said in the Burton Diary,
Mike better be projecting as one of these guys getting cut, because we have about 38737 safeties who are older, a new lb corps essentially and a whole mess of needs on offense.
Okay, Ed McCaffery is no longer in the NFL. He RETIRED. Terrell Davis has 2 blown out knees. He RETIRED. John Elway isn't coming back. He RETIRED.
Will someone please tell me why Shanny is trying to build a team that is a carbon copy of 1998? It's a different time period. We had a good o-line, not now.
In today's game, offense first then D. Who cares if the D only gives up 21 pts and Cutler is on the sideline with a neck brace after running around?

Dude....
But in times like these, I try to remind myself that Shanny has forgotten more about football than I'll ever know. Despite what my alter-ego screams!

Looks like all we need to do is watch
I'm not sure how valuable it is to bring in Chef rejects, but he is likely here just to compete against the guys we will actually keep.
If you ask me, Burton for Parker is a HUGE upgrade...Burton was awful for us. ;) I would be an upgrade over Burton. :P

Shotgun approach, not just for the draft anymore!

From a Chiefs fan
He's not a fan favorite - mainly because of his over zealous first down celebrations.
I don't see Samie Parker excelling in Denver for any particular reason but who knows?
I'll send more Chiefs fans over here today to talk about Parker.
