Skippy Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Maybe Big Ben gets his wish for a tall reciever? I would very much like that even though I know it won't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowboutthemCowboys Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Broncos Feb. 16 - 11:26 am et Broncos RB Travis Henry, WR Javon Walker, and LB Ian Gold are all being shopped, but the team is up against the clock. Henry's $6 million option bonus is due Feb. 29, Walker's $5.4 million bonus is due March 4, and Gold's $500,000 bonus is due March 3. Meanwhile, John Lynch's retirement decision should be made by March 4, when he is due a $1.12 million bonus. Source: Denver Post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Source: Denver Post This is typical Denver Post reporting not understanding the implications of something they should plainly have knowledge of. Yes, DEN would save a $5.4M roster bonus by cutting Walker. However, I believe the cap hit to the team by cutting Walker & accelerating his signing bonus already paid would end up with a $8M cap hit against DEN. To trade Walker, some other team would have to take on his contract, including the $5.4M roster bonus to be paid March 4, and the paid portion of the signing bonus would accelerate forward against DEN's cap. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that DEN would lose a substantial amount by parting ways with Walker in any manner. Of course, that's why the Denver Post writers can't seem to figure it out. They are some of the most sadly underinformed & sports-uneducated sports writers in the business.

I don't know...I could envision a situation in which a team would offer a relatively low pick (or player) to Denver and gave Walker a new contract. He obviously wouldn't sign a new deal for just pennies, but if somebody offered a 1- or 2-year deal with plenty of incentives, I could imagine him agreeing to it just to get out of Denver.

I doubt a trade would be made without an incentive laden contract agreed to in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaP'N GRuNGe Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 If he checked out ok physically, I wouldn't mind Minnesota giving back Denver's 3rd round draft pick for him. Nah, make it a 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) Okay, let me get this right. DEN ought to let Walker go when they gave up a 2nd round pick for him to get his whining arse out of GB when he balked on his contract there and then extended his contract and provided healthy bonuses to him to do so, and by letting Walker go in a trade that they ought to take a low draft pick AND take an additional $2.5M cap hit, when they know that it would take a reworking of his contract in a trade so that he could play for another team for potentially substantially less money if he doesn't produce? Ummm - yeah, I can't see why Shanahan wouldn't just jump right up & turn Walker right over to some other team. Seriously, I want to work where you guys do. It must be cool to work for a company that lets you smoke dope on the job. Edited February 21, 2008 by Bronco Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanky08 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Javon Walker can be a great WR if he wasnt injured all the time. I see him landing in Tampa, or Philly if he is cut, supposebly there rumors that he might get traded to the Bucs but if hes cut before that they might just pick him up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Shaun Rodgers for Javon Walker is a horrid trade for Detroit. That being said, I'd love to see that punk bitch go against the packers twice a year.

Broncos | Team expected to trade with Lions Mon, 25 Feb 2008 16:27:13 -0800 The Rocky Mountain News reports the Denver Broncos are in deep discussions with the Detroit Lions about trading for DL Shaun Rogers. It is uncertain what the Broncos would give up in return for Rogers but the deal is expected to be done as early as Monday, Feb. 25, or Tuesday, Feb. 26.
