ESPNews reports the Denver Broncos have signed unrestricted free-agent WR Brandon Stokley (Colts) to a one-year contract. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Ouch that hurts...

He always seem to kick our ass when we played him...

[Mr. Laz]

great signing imo

[noa]

The new Ed McCaffrey.

[Mr. Laz]

The new Ed McCaffrey.
except for Stokley is half the size and twice as fast


but hey ...... you got the skin color right.

[Sure-Oz]

The new Ed McCaffrey.
But can he act?!

[Crush]

Ugh, this is going to bite us in the ass at some point in the season.

[CoMoChief]

Can he play Dline, lol. Nice pickup for WR though. How bad was he injured?

[UL Washington]

He has to prove he can come back from a major injury first.

[Iowanian]

He'll definitely be an improvement. Its an unfortunately nice signing, and at 1 year, its of very little risk if he's not the same after the injury.

[DaKCMan AP]

Injury prone and we'll see how good he is without Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne and Peyton Manning.

[noa]

except for Stokley is half the size and twice as fast


but hey ...... you got the skin color right.


That was pretty much the joke. I know they aren't at all the same player. McCaffrey was 6'5" and was great at going across the middle, while Stokley is a 5'11" deep threat.

[Eleazar]

we'll see how good he is without Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne and Peyton Manning.

My sentiments exactly

[vailpass]

It's worth the risk IMO, if he comes back from the injury that little fugger can be sneaky when opposing Ds are keying on the TEs.

[kcxiv]

With Walker on the other side, and 2 solid tight ends. I am sure He will do just fine.

[JBucc]

For just a one year deal that's a pretty good signing. Bad for us though.

[KurtCobain]

I would have preferred to see Chiefs | Stokley signed as the topic title.

[morphius]

He was less then impressive last year, but a one year deal isn't going to hurt them if they have to cut him.

[Mile High Mania]

Nice for depth if he can recover from the injury, I suppose...

[Micjones]

Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?

Stokley's talented, but he's not exactly Steve Largent. We face better receivers regularly.

[Amnorix]

Not a bad signing. I think his teammates inflated his perceived abilities, but he won't hurt them, to be sure.

Only a 1 year deal, due to hte injury I guess.

[chop]

On paper, the Broncos have made some decent moves. We'll have to wait and see if it plays out on the field.

[Mile High Mania]

Enh, this is a roster fodder signing... the guy is entering his 9th season and through 8 years, he has played more than 9 games three times. Stokely has skill and for the price... it's a good deal if he returns from the '06 injury.

Again - it's a depth move, should Rod Smith recover well from hip surgery, the depth chart will be Walker / Marshall / Smith / Stokley.

Add in Henry, Graham and Scheffler and our young QB has a nice array of weapons to work with in 2007.

[CupidStunt]

System receiver if ever there was one. Doubt he'll make the roster.

[Mile High Mania]

It's a 1 year deal and aside from 2004 when Peyton went wild ... the guy has been average. Again, low risk deal here.

[Mr. Laz]

That was pretty much the joke. I know they aren't at all the same player. McCaffrey was 6'5" and was great at going across the middle, while Stokley is a 5'11" deep threat.
sorry ... my sarcas-o-meter has never worked worth a dam.

[Hammock Parties]

Dude is just another receiver made to look good because of Manning.

[Extra Point]

Dude is just another receiver made to look good because of Manning.

Agreed.
