Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

"Branion wouldn't say what Green is seeking, but after making $2 million in salary and $750,000 in incentives last year, the Packers' second-leading all-time rusher is seeking a major increase."
That part right there might turn our staff away from Green. I really don't think they like paying backs, and it would probably be even more so for an aging back.

That's a good point, if they didn't want to pay Mike Anderson, they shouldn't and probably won't pay Green.
Not to mention the Broncos are building a team for the future - Cutler, Scheffler, Marshall, Javon... These guys will be here a while. Green wont. I think we are looking for a long term solution not a quick fix that could break down in midseason.
Chris Brown isn't that much better than Bell in the fumble department. He is also far more injury prone than Bell.
Fred Taylor would be pretty expensive too, what makes you think he'd be cheap?
I don't know; I could be completely wrong here....I just think that the Broncos may feel Taylor is a good fit in Denver, and they may be willing to pay him a contract that is as good as he can get in the FA market. He is older, so I can't really see a team going overboard in paying him, so the market may not be what he thinks it is, and untimately Denver may end up being the best fit for him.
But, Taylor is a proven vet that may be willing to play for a little less in Denver, as he knows they are a team that can legitimately contend for a Super Bowl run, and he is well aware of what the system can do for a back.
So call it a hunch, but I would not at all be suprised in Taylor ends up in Denver.
But in either case, Brown and Taylor are strictly for the short run, meaning the 2007 season.
Let a Draft pick be the focus of the future, but a vet may bve the best answer for next year.
Green, Taylor, Lewis, etc. will all get nice contracts due to the new CBA. I'd expect those guys to at least make a couple million as a base salary next season, topping it with bonuses. I don't see either of those as a huge upgrade over Bell/Bell. Especially when you look at the costs. Pass. . .
