I think he could have quite happily told the NFL to get stuffed on this, some things would have been understandably more important.

Very commendable of him though.

And I think if any owner had earned the right to abstain from a final vote it would have been him, not Al Davis.

As well as releasing Mcgahee, also Kelly Greg who might resign and Todd Heap. Heap really shocks me, one of my favourite players as well.

Thing is Ozzie always seems to know what he is doing so no need to question it.

Think Houston will dump as many dollars as possible on his front lawn.

He wants to go to the Jets though. If they take him, i'd be happy with that. 1/5 of the cap on 2 CB's and they're already close to the cap with 20 free agents (Holmes/Edwards and 6 other starters included)

April Fools' Day is a bit late in Colorado?

Quote:

To begin the business of Day One of the NFL's 2011 season, the Broncos will place quarterback Kyle Orton on the trading block.

Welcome, coach John Fox, to the never-dull, always-changing world of Broncos football.

With the NFL trading period opening at 8 a.m. today, Orton's days as the Broncos' starting QB may be down to hours. The Broncos will be entertaining offers for Orton, according to two NFL sources.

Orton has made it clear that after posting the two best seasons of his pro career, throwing 41 touchdown passes against 21 interceptions for the Broncos, he doesn't want to serve as backup to the unproven Tim Tebow.

Teams that don't have a proven starting quarterback and therefore need one include Minnesota, Tennessee and Arizona. Seattle, Washington, Cincinnati and Miami also could be possibilities.

I'd prefer Matt Roth to join the group of OLB's. Cunningham can only be better in his 2nd year, and Ninkovich was very good against the run.

Tully Banta-Cain to be released on Thursday, per Schefter :p

They finally got shot of Williams, about time. He'll be snapped up pretty quick I'd have thought.
