Shanahan's Trying His Best

[broncosfan247]

I honestly think that Mike is trying his best to get Gardener to give up his contract just so he personally wants the hell out of Denver. Especially with Denver not paying him here. I really hope it works, we don't need this bum and all he's doing is taking up well needed cap space. You go Mikey!

I really do not think we should let go of Gardner. He is a really good player and I think if we give him one more shot he will show all of us that he can play for us and do good. However I think we will get rid of him. I know he got into the fight but what else did he do to Shanahan to get him suspended for that long?

[broncosfan247]

just news stories I've read on his performance. He might be a good player...but thats when he wants to play. I don't know if he's just injury prone or what. But it took longer for him to return from his bar fight injury and then he missed a good hand full of games with non-related injuries, also not including his suspensions too. I just think he's a player that would do nothing but bring negativity to the locker room. Especially after he called a radio station bashing Mike.

Ya true kind of like Keyshawn Johnson. But if he will clean up his act and play some good football week in and week out than I would love to have him back.

i think dorsett davis should step up cause he is built almost exctly like gardener, he can be a dominating plug inside or outside. he si freaking huge 6"6 300+ lbs.

If we could recoup some of his signing bonus and lower our salary cap, I'd say cut him a be done with it.

If not? Try to make the best of things and just hope to hell the guy gets his act together and plays like he did for the 'Skins last year when he was voted defensive captain.

It's a sticky situation to be sure.

there is a good chance we will get all of his $5 million signing bonus back. that means it will be practically free if we cut him.

Where did you hear/read about this, Lava? I haven't heard many details about what's going to happen with him and the financial ramifications.

I don't think we've even gotten reimbursed for that bonehead Dale Carter yet, so I'm not too optimistic about Gardener.

they took it to court, it is in the rocky mountain news somewhere, but shanahan put a clause in the contratc that says "100% of the signing bonus must be refunded if 'conduct detrimental to the team' occurs during the first year" all he has to do now is prove that his conduct got him suspended, there are a lot of instances that says he was a detriment.

We could certainly use the money to help resign Wilson.

Lava,

If we get the signing bonus back, how much of an impact will it make on the cap for next year?

If you want to clear up some cap space and get somewhere, tell Mikey to get out!! Shanny is the reason you haven't won a SB since ELWAY!!! Hell, even Dikk Jauron and Wayne Fontes could have won a super bowl with Elway! Doesn't make them good coaches!

it will give us 3 mil back for sure, the other 2 mil i dont know if we gave that to him or not, but hopefully so, so we could get that back too. so hopefully we would get $5 mil extra added to the cap next year.

shanahan is the ONLY coach to have a top 5 offense AND defense. NO other coach can say that, not even the bellichick or parcells or anybody else, only shanahan has that balance, he is a good coach.
