Rod Smith has hip surgery

950 AM The Fan just broke news that WR Rod Smith had an arthroscopic surgery on his hip, and that he will require a minimum of 4 months to recover from the surgery. No link - it was a radio report

 

While this may not affect many FF teams in regard to Smith, since his production has dipped and his age is catching up with him, it does make Brandon Marshall a more appealing WR, given his progress as last year went on, his chemistry with Cutler, & Smith possibly being completely cleared out of the way for him.

Some guy I bumped into on the street said they might go after Moulds or Joe Horn.

 

Do you find that realistic?

 

 

The real question here is do you find it realistic? :D

It's a possibility, but I think DEN was ready to go forward with R Smith having a reduced role this coming season regardless. I also think that Marshall is the real deal, and between he & Walker they will present a very good tandem at WR. A vet like Horn or Moulds would only hinder Marshall's development, and might not be able to beat him out, which would lead to discontent.

 

There's also the issue of DEN being tight on cap space. They already lost Kerney because they couldn't put up an offer that matched or beat SEA's. It might be the exact same scenario with Graham. They can hardly afford to spend a bunch on a vet WR.

Denver had already announced that Marshall would start in front of Smith. It was weird to see in February... but it was in print already.

Lee Rasizer, of the Rocky Mountain News, reports Denver Broncos WR Rod Smith will have to compete for a starting spot in training camp with WR Brandon Marshall. "To say Rod is the definite starter, I can't say that because we do have some great competition at that position," head coach Mike Shanahan said.

According to Jeff Legwold, of the Rocky Mountain News, it's looking like Denver Broncos WR Rod Smith will be the No. 3 wideout behind WR Javon Walker and WR Brandon Marshall for the 2007 season.

So, this won't affect anything that wasn't happening already. But man... there nothing like a hip injury to make someone sound like an old man.
