ESPN: Bly Traded to Broncos

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 03-01-2007, 02:46 PM

Per the ESPN ticker, Dre Bly has been traded to Denver. Looks like we're looking at Clements and/or Smoot and, since some other cap-rich team will likely outbid us for Clements, we'll probably end up with Smoot and Rogers as our corners with some less well-known corner as the nickel.

Time is running out!

I think we keep Springs for 2007 and cut him on this day, 2008.

And somehow I've reached 2,500 posts. My only question is this: when the heck did I hit 2000?

Wow. If the Broncos have Bly at one corner and Champ at the other, that ought to give their defensive coordinators a lot of flexibility in terms of blitzes...

FRPLG · 03-01-2007, 02:58 PM

yeah they shouldn't have cover issues.

Gmanc711 · 03-01-2007, 02:59 PM

If we go into 07' with Smoot/Rogers as our corners, I think were in trouble. We need to keep Springs if thats the case. I mean I like both guys, but thats a huge risk imo.

Yeah, that's taking a big time risk with Smoot and Rogers. Smoot has a tendency to get beat, but I love the intensity the guy brings, the way he plays, and yes, all the smack he talks. All that, and he usually can play hurt AND hang onto interceptions. He's not great, but I think he's as good as anyone they'd have, more because Springs can't stay healthy than anything else.

FRPLG · 03-01-2007, 03:02 PM

Yeah we have to keep Springs. I am not a big fan of dumping our best corner. Get a damn restructure worked out.

wilsowilso · 03-01-2007, 03:03 PM

Sign Smoot keep Springs sign Fletcher and then sign some surprise 35 million dollar contract player hopefully for the Defense and we are done. I won't be shocked if they make a big play for Clements, but I don't think we can bully other teams under these cap conditions.

Hog1 · 03-01-2007, 03:04 PM

If I'm not mistaken, Smooty spent a significant amount of pine time in '06. We need Springs in the rotation. It may help Springs health and longevity to no be an every down corner. he has to get a deal done as well. Then again............all that my be total BS

JoeRedskin · 03-01-2007, 03:16 PM

As to Springs restructure: Is it just that we are trying to free cap space? Or is he due some bonus or such if he is on the roster?

If (a) then it's really not to big a deal - we will just have to find some other way to get cap space and we need not cut him. If (b), then - yes - that could mean bye bye Shawn.

diehardskin2982 · 03-01-2007, 03:31 PM

Springs, Smoot. Rogers isn't that bad

SmootSmack · 03-01-2007, 03:32 PM

If we can trade down we could hopefully get something like Pittcock/Jarvis Moss and Wilson/Houston

JoeRedskin · 03-01-2007, 03:33 PM

Here's one for all you Bailey for Portis trade haters out there - Our second rounder became Tatum Bell for the Broncos. It could be argued that, if the trade had not happened and we had appeased Bailey - we could now have a CB trio of Bailey, Bly' and Rogers, w/ Betts as our main RB.
