Classic Broncos
 

Broncos Al Wilson had a standup season last year though he dealt with injuries. One was a particularly significant one to his neck.

Denver tried to trade Wilson to the Giants but the deal was killed when Al failed his physical. Bronco fans had mixed feelings about Denver trying to move their defensive leader, and many wondered why the attempted trade.

Issue of the failed physical made the dealing even more curious. One local commentator poo pooed the far reaching idea of the team trying to deal away damaged goods; the Broncos wouldn't do that... would they?? Not the Broncos.

Wilson represented a significant hit on their salary cap, but you wouldn't get rid of a signficant quality player, would you? I guess only if you can't dump him off on some chump team in a trade.

Broncos cut Wilson this week.

what is typical broncos? Cutting a player that was no longer needed?
wow those bad bad people.

I hate the Broncos quite passionately, but this is pretty weak smack.

It came from a n00b.

Why wouldn't they try to get rid of the guy? They assraped the stoopind Skins the last few years.

I wish the Chiefs would cut about 10 more guys.

Denver is smart, Shit the Chiefs would of signed him to a long term deal ie Jerome Woods...

They win because they are smart and we are stuck with Carl and Herm...

No need to hate for intelligence...

Fixed it.

Looks like 9-7 to me. I know you say the chefs made the playoffs but lets be honest here and this isn't trolling but the truth. Look at the conference records. AFC is clearly better. What teams did KC beat vs Denver? Tiebreakers don't necessarily mean the best team went to the playoffs.

Shut up bitch.

You should let me play with your bitch tits.

KC went to the playoffs last year, because denver couldn'tbeat san fran at home.....
you really deserved to be there.

The point isn't that they released him. The point is that they tried to trade him before. And the pompous comment in Denver media at the time that the Broncos wouldn't trade "damaged goods" to another team.

Now they release Wilson and it's all over Denver media that he is hurt, isn't cleared by doctors to play. So he was damaged goods. And they did try to trade him. I assume they hoped to sneak him through a physical administered by another team, or it was all a sham.

The assumed position about Wilson before they tried to trade him was that he was okay. His release now is an economic decision as even Wilson admitted, but who really thinks they'd let him go if he was well and able to continue playing at the top of his game. Do you?

Remember, this is the bunch that wrongfully restructured contracts leading up to their Super Bowl winning years. Character in business dealings should mean something to you if you care about playing by the rules.

I consider trying to trade him first smart......if the team you trade him to is stupid and lets it go through hey that's on them.

I don't consider that shady I consider it smart and worth a shot.

That's why you administer physicals before you complete the deal. Especially when you are dealing with the Broncos.

All I'm saying is voices around here (Denver media) were indignant about the thought that the Broncos would try to trade damaged goods. As if Denver would never do that. Well apparently they would.

And so you say you would too.
