Brady Quinn to Denver

[KCDC]

Denver got BQ for pretty cheap. The challenge for trading Quinn (for Cleveland) was that the acquiring team would have to assume the large contract. So, Denver assumes a large contract for Quinn, which uses up $$$ that Bowlen could redeploy elsewhere.

McDaniels thinks, apparently, he's a God at coaching QBs, so let's see what happens. If he brings BQ around to be a starter, they stole him. If not, they have more dead weight on their roster and a QB controversy to destabilize Orton, which would be fine for us.

What large contract?

They were just saying on Sirius NFL Radio this afternoon that Quinn's base salary is 700K in each of the next two seasons.

He only gets paid more if he hits certain performance clauses - and even then, it maxes out at $5M per.

I was responding to the article in the National Football Post that said his large contract was scaring off suitors.
