NAUgrad Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 According to the Denver Post, Trevor Pryce is up for trade. Broncos hope four-time Pro Bowl defensive end attracts high pick By Bill Williamson Denver Post Staff Writer Post file Pryce has the highest salary cap number on the roster for next season. Honolulu - In a somewhat surprising development, the Broncos have decided to shop four-time Pro Bowl defensive end Trevor Pryce. According to three teams that have talked to Pryce's agent, Peter Schaffer, Pryce would be offered for draft picks. The Broncos likely would get a high to midround pick for Pryce, who played in just two games last season because of an injury. "We're focused on finding the best place for Trevor for 2005 and beyond. The only issue here is the uncertainty of where he will be," Schaffer said Sunday. Schaffer said he started testing the market only after the Broncos told him of their plans. "This is not Trevor's doing. He did not ask for this. The Broncos came to us, and this is what they want to do, and I need to help find the best place for Trevor." Besides the Broncos changing their defensive formation, Pryce has the highest salary cap number on the roster for next season: $9,166,00.

NAUgrad Posted February 14, 2005 Author Share Posted February 14, 2005 Pryce has actually been playing Tackle the last couple of years. He's a better end than tackle. Maybe his back is worse than they are letting on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thought, maybe Denver really is looking at moving to a 3-4 scheme and realize that he's really not a good fit with that lineup.

CaptainHook Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 The guy missed most of the year with back problems. He had back surgery. And the Broncos think someone will give them a high pick? I think most teams will just wait and see if the Broncos just cut him. He'll be a lot cheaper then. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
