Dre Bly hates the Denver Broncos!

First Plummer, now Bly gives them the business. Must be Shanahan's endearing personality.

DENVER -- The Broncos have heard Dre' Bly is bitter about being traded to Denver, and that he'd prefer to play for Washington.

The team, though, wants to give their new cornerback some time to warm up to the deal. It's only been a few days since the 29-year-old Bly was acquired from Detroit -- along with a sixth-round pick -- for running back Tatum Bell, offensive lineman George Foster and a fifth-round pick.

"Hopefully he'll see the light," said Jim Bates, assistant head coach in charge of defense, at a Tuesday get-together for the Broncos' new coaches. "He'll see the opportunity in Denver of being part of a great football team, great organization and being opposite the side of Champ Bailey. Hopefully he'll come around and say, 'Hey, this is where I want to be."

Bates hasn't spoken to Bly personally, but said others, including coach Mike Shanahan and general manager Ted Sundquist, have contacted him.

Bly's agent, Kennard McGuire, didn't return a call or an e-mail from the Associated Press.

"I don't know what Dre's thinking," Bates said. "Hopefully, over the next couple weeks, he'll come our direction and be positive. We want a positive player once we get in here."

The Washington Post, citing people it did not name, reported Bly would rather play for the Redskins because they're closer to his home in Chesapeake, Va.

However, Denver doesn't have any plans to deal their newly acquired defensive back just yet.

"We expect him to be playing corner for us," said Bates, who was out of football last season, but spent the 2005 season as Green Bay's defensive coordinator. "We'd love for him to be all fired up and get ready to roll. Sometimes, especially in today's game, you have to have a little patience and it takes a little time."

The thought of Bly and Bailey holding down the corners for the Broncos brings a smile to the face of Bates. The Broncos can apply more pressure because they don't have to worry about either Pro Bowl player needing extra help.

Bates has already studied film of Bailey from last season and was amazed at the footage. Bailey tied for the league lead in interceptions with 10 and finished second in the Defensive Player of the Year voting.

"I've been fortunate to be around some great corners," Bates said. "I don't think anyone has been more complete from what I've seen on tape than Champ. A lot of these guys were great cover guys, maybe a little inconsistent in the tackling area. Champ does it all, and does it all at a high level."

Denver's Domonique Foxworth was penciled in as the starting right corner until the Bly deal. Foxworth will likely fill the nickel role.

The Broncos are still trying to recover from the loss of cornerback Darrent Williams, who was killed in a drive-by shooting on New Year's Day. The case remains unsolved.

Bly has 33 career interceptions, the fourth-most in the league since 1999. He's returned five interceptions for touchdowns in his career.

Now if the Broncos could only get him to warm up to the deal.

"We've heard some of his remarks since the trade's been made, but hopefully he'll see the light as far as playing opposite Champ Bailey," Bates said. "I think it would be a great opportunity for him."

You're an idiot.

Bly saw the huge $ from Snyder and that's what he wants in Denver. Bly has 1 year on his current deal and like most people... he wants an extension.

I don't have an issue with his stance and they'll make it right.

I would imagine they were holding off on having talks around a contract extension until they saw what happend with a few of the FA pursuits. I would also imagine that they weren't trading away 2 players and a draft pick for a CB with 1 year remaining and NOT planning on extending the deal to keep him in Denver.

Just my $.02

You might want to cover that hatchet wound up Shiela, this isn't a European beach board.

Damm Donk fans are sure quick to come to the defense of any player that even mentions Dungver. They turn into the best player to ever wear a uniform.

Way to make new friends Dr. Drea.

Mile High Mania · 03-06-2007, 09:45 PM

Let's not get too crazy. I wasn't coming to his defense ... I was more or less just providing my thought on the whole scenario. It's a money thing at this point and to suggest he hates being a Bronco is insane.

Dre hates the reality of not getting the big $ deal that was there had WAS been able to provide an equal or better trade scenario. That's all...

And, suggesting that any of us think any player to wear the predominantly orange and blue uniform is the greatest of all time... well, that's a bit over the top.

Elway and Sharpe are the only two that come to mind for me.

Imagine getting traded to the ****ing Broncos. That would be a nightmare.

Garcia Bronco · 03-06-2007, 11:52 PM

the amusing thing about this is that they list that DC is close to Cheaspeake...depnding on where in NOVA or Maryland you live...it could take 4-7 hours to get there. That's more than a direct flight from DIA..this is about the dollars.

Dre' Bly - DB - Broncos

The Washington Post's Redskins blog believes a Dre Bly deal to Washington is still in play, and it could involve the team's No. 6 overall pick.

Denver has destroyed Washington in a few previous trades. In this scenario, Denver would send Bly, their first-round pick, a mid-round pick and change for the No. 6 overall pick. Shawn Springs would then be moved from Washington. It appears the two sides will continue to talk.
