<i>You can't blame the guy for not wanting to go to that corrupt shithole.</i>

Ok I gotta call BS on this one. I dislike da Broncs as much as the next guy but Bly is turning down a chance to play for a probable playoff team with an outside chance at a SB appearance to play for a DC team that's circling the drain.

He'd also be opposite Baily which means he'd have mucho chances to pad his int and passes defensed stats which would position him for a nice deal next year.

Kinda proves that Bly isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

I suspect there is too much analysis. He probably cant stand Shanhans smirk. Thats reason enough to hate Donks.

Yeah, but he wants his money NOW, not one year from now. Forget about the winning and all that...he knows that if he's a Skin he gets a big check right now. No risk involved on his end. This is the last big contract opportunity of his career.

Denver isn't being forced to trade him. It would suck to have him as a one-year rental, but at the same time, he's not going to mail it in either since he'll be playing for a new deal next offseason.

I can understand not wanting to play for the donkeys.

I can't fathom wanting to play for the deadskins.

I honestly think Shanahan KNEW Bly would be unhappy when he traded for him:

Redskins and Broncos could swap picks in Bly deal
According to the Washington Post, Denver and Washington are currently in trade talks centering around Dre Bly. One rumor has the Broncos sending Bly and a first and second round pick to the Redskins in exchange for the sixth overall pick in the draft.

The Broncos and Redskins have been frequent trade partners in the past and Dre Bly continues to request a trade to Washington, so expect some kind of deal to happen soon. Another rumor has Bly being moved for Ladell Betts.

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinteresting.

I'd bet money that Denver asked for Betts before they signed Henry, it's just coming out now that's who they originally asked for. Since they no longer want Betts, now it's trying to work out a package to move to #6.

It wouldn't shock me at all... bit of a gamble, but for some reason, Snyder likes to roll over and bite the pillow when Denver calls about a trade idea.

I don't recall which site I was on... but sometime in the last 18 hours (post Henry signing) I was reading a comment about this and they said that there was an interest in Betts even with Henry.

I dunno. Broncos' activity has given me tired head a few times this offseason already... should be interesting.

What are the chances of sending Bly, our R1 and other picks for Springs and their #6? Too crazy?

The best part is how Shanny makes Snyder think the whole thing is his idea.
Shanny:"We have Dre Bly and he says he isn't happy. I wonder what we should do?"
Snyder:"Say, I have an idea. Why don't you trade him to us.(covers phone and whispers to assistant)"Shannahan is on the line, watch me steal Dre Bly from him"
Shanny: "Wow, great idea Danny boy. Did I hear you say you'll give us Sean Springs and your #6 overall pick"?
Snyder: "Uh, yes. That is exactly what I said" (heh heh sucker)

If someone said that, then they added to what Schefter reported which is where the report that they asked for Betts came from. All Schefter said was that the Skins offered Springs, and the Broncos countered by asking for Betts. He never said when it occurred though, but like I said, I'd bet money those conversations took place prior to the Henry signing.

Not too crazy, just depends on what the Skins are expecting in return. The Skins beat writer in the Washington Post seems to think Denver's going to give up almost their entire 1st day and Bly for the 6th overall.

My guess:
Bly
1st
Skins' 4th next year
Either Denver's 2nd or the Skins' 3rd

for
6th Overall

There's a li'l blurb/rumor on www.broncosfreak.com about a deal involving Al Wilson and a bunch of other craziness.

They'd probably be able to get Alan Branch at that point.
