Trickery? It's called talent.

If the Browns want more than a 1st give them Fisher AND a 1st...

So other than your basic premise being wrong, your facts being wrong, and your entire point being completely irrelevant anyway, this was a great post.

Since the advent of unrestricted free agency in 1993, the Broncos have signed 106 players, the highest number in the entire league. Patrick Smyth, the Broncos' director of media relations, confirmed the total.

That article was written in 2011, which was before Denver signed Manning, Talib, Ware, Welker, Emmanuel Sanders, Terrence Knighton.......

Who giveth a shit, really? They have signed a metric ton of FAs because in some years, the draft classes were complete misfires. That's just the simple, ugly truth of it all.

Our Super Bowl winning teams were loaded with free agents. (Zimmerman, Schlereth, Tony Jones, Howard Griffith, Romo, McCaffery, Willie Green, Darrien Gordon, Tyrone Braxton, Glenn Cadrez, Neil Smith, Keith Traylor, Alfred Williams, Ray Crocket)

I was just disputing the post that claimed that acquiring players from other teams doesn't work...

Half the time people post something in your general direction... it's just poking you with a stick or general sarcasm. Of course people realize that teams have been built through FA to win SBs. It's not a consistent winning formula, year in and year out.

You guys should send that crappy #1 pick Fisher, Smith, Reid and your #1 for Thomas. While your at it sweeten the deal with Dee "runaway" Ford.

Ford's future as a situational pass rusher (at minimum) still looks bright.

I'd be glad to be rid of the rest...

Rumor is that the Broncos and Browns had worked out a deal -- Joe Thomas and a 4th for Denver's 1st and 2nd, but that the Broncos were racing to create cap room at the last minute.

And it seems they might have run out of time.

Browns HC at podium saying that it is "his understanding" that no moves were made by the Browns today.

And now confirmed.

A potential Joe-Thomas-to-Denver deal that both sides were working on up until the deadline did not get completed, per league sources.

See, they also have to work within a cap and just couldn't pull a rabbit outta the hat this time...

Can't say they didn't try...

I don't understand this "the cap is crap" nonsense. Sure, you can massage it and maneuver within it etc. etc., but it's very real, and today's gain is tomorrow's pain, OR VICE VERSA.

Pats took a bunch of dead money onto this year's cap to help free up room for next year, so we can extend Jones/Hightower/Collins (or some of them at least). The cap is all about choices.

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 12:20 AM.
