Lombardi tweeted Mebane to Seattle or NO :/

Well I can sort of believe them when it comes to Paea. Maybe he thought it'd be a risk to draft him because it's harder to play DT with those measurables, but Mebane has already had plenty of success so they don't feel it's an issue with him. I'd like to believe they were talking about the risk factor rather than the scheme factor, but I also have a lingering feeling that they're just talking out their ass.

Personally, I would just settle for a 3rd or a 4th for KO and turn right around and trade it to the Lions for Sammie Hill. If we have to throw a 6th round pick, then so be it. This is what happens when you pass on every DT in the draft.

It's not about settling, its about the fact that NOBODY is going to trade for Orton with his current 9 million dollar contract.

Until Orton comes to a new contract agreement with Miami, the deal won't get done. It doesn't matter what the compensation is.

It was mentioned in another thread that Elway said this morning that we want a 2nd and Miami is offering a 4th. If thats the case, then compensation does have something to do with it.

I never heard Elway saying that, can you direct me to a source?

The only thing I heard was that we had already agreed to compensation and the only holdup was Orton restructuring his contract.

Thats what was being reported yesterday afternoon and yesterday evening




EDIT: This is what i found in the Elway thread about his radio interview this morning

- "Orton is the starter, have been listening to calls for him, looking for best thing for Broncos. Going to come out to compete for the job, he's coming out today. Plan all along. Rumors are false about asking for a 2nd."

Clayton just said we're in the mix.
He also retweeted some guy making fun of his rat tail which was probably unintentional.

I thought it was funny at least..

We knew Fox was going to fill in DT with scrubs. Once he passed on all the good ones in the draft, it became obvious he was still going with his belief he had in Carolina, where he never addressed DT.

It's also obvious now that Denver sees Jeremy Jarmon as a DT, which completely flabbergasts me. I guess we are going with that 4 DE D-line idea some folks have floated. The Giants had success with that, but they also had legit DTs filtered in as well.

There are still options available. We'll see what happens.

You are aware that Fox doesn't make the decisions...... right?
