A lot of people feel the need to jump in and defend them. I don't. I know there was some restructuring going on with Elway's and Davis' contract during those years. Both of those players got a lot of cash and didn't mind restructuring to save cap space. There was also an issue with Elway's retirement date because he appeared in beer commercials for Coors, which the league doesn't allow current players to do. It sounds like the Bronco FO screwed up the contracts and now they are getting burned for it. A fine and a draft choice. I can certainly live with that. I know that all of you would feel the same way if you were in my position. I just checked those Lombardi trophies recently. There's no taint on them. They're still silver, and shiny as hell.
