Drama in Denver (heh heh)

[BC]

I hope I'm putting this in the right place in here, but it's too good to miss. 

When Brandon Marshall showed up to Denver's minicamp late Friday afternoon, albeit half a day late, it looked like we were going to avoid any major drama between him and the team. No such luck. Marshall showed up to camp, met with owner Pat Bowlen, left the facility carrying some boxes, and did not show up to camp Saturday.

And ... we have a potentially big problem on our hands. Marshall doesn't trust the Broncos training staff to heal his hip, and he thinks he's underpaid. I'm not going to opine how this will play out after the Jay Cutler fiasco, but a prolonged training camp holdout would be not be advantageous for Marshall. He seems very unlikely to get a new contract. We'll see if the Broncos have any interest dealing him.

That is so funny.  This and the fact the donks seem to be getting more negative press than us for once

Shame there were no McDonalds wrappers for him to slip on.

Their disasters are our joy.

1st the QB, now we can only hope their no.1 wide continues the implosion.

[R8RMR]

And with the new HC making a big impression at the outset, we can only hope that he continues the way he has started.

Reports are that after his meeting with Bowlen, Marshall cleaned out his locker and left.

[R8RMR]

Can only be good for us. Mind you, Orton is used to not having a top class primary receiver. Or is it that he is used to not being able to connect with a top class receiver?

Marshall update

McDaniels had no comment about his other Pro Bowl offensive star, receiver Brandon Marshall, who has stayed away from Denver while pushing for a new contract.

Marshall wrote on his personal blog Tuesday that he was ready for a change.

[R8RMR]

I think that given the circumstances that he is wanting out rather than a new contract, they would be better off letting him go. But from our perspective the longer this drags on and the messier that it gets, the better.
