The Denver Broncos have released backup QB Tom Brandstater. Brandstater, a sixth round draft pick in 2009, The Broncos now have three quarterbacks on their roster: Kyle Orton, Brady Quinn, and Tebow.

Brandstater’s release came as a surprise to some, since the 25-year-old quarterback impressed the team during the 2009 preseason and was eligible to be protected on the team’s practice squad. Broncos’ coach Josh McDaniels told The Denver Post the release so early in the 2010 preseason was to enable the other three quarterbacks to get more work in practice.

He will be put on waivers, making the sixth-round pick in the 2009 draft available to be claimed by any NFL team.

Also gone is offensive lineman Maurice Williams. Williams arrived less than a month ago.  He spent nine seasons with the Jaguars, starting all 16 games in 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006.

Broncos signed free agent fullback Kyle Eckel. Eckel won a Super Bowl ring with the Saints in 2009, the highlight to a four-year career that has included stops in Miami, New England, and Philly.  In 2007, he appeared in 12 regular-season games and two postseason games for the Patriots, who finished 18-1, losing to the Giants in Super Bowl XLII.

All these big moves in the draft stirred the pot already now there are Orton Trade talks being fueled by the Denver Post and fan sites. I doubt Orton will be involved in any trades but I also guaranteed the Broncos wouldn’t select Tebow in the first round. I don’t understand McD at all and I will not pretend to for one second this year. Now there is buzz with Dumervil back in town to talk signing. Dumervil, who has not participated in any of the team’s voluntary workouts this offseason, has been offered a $3.168 million paycheck from the Denver Broncos if he signs his tender by June 15. The league’s sack leader in 2010, Dumervil has been seeking (and, frankly, earned) a long-term deal from the Broncos that would categorize him with some of the league’s most elite defenders financially. What will the Broncos do. We thought for sure our franchise players were safe in past seasons but again I have no clue what JMac does.

Big tree fall hard, talk about a SACK lunch, mmmmnuummmmyum

All things Broncos, all things.

Yes there is a swimsuit calander, what better way to support your team.

Ryan Clady

According to the Associated Press:

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - Denver Broncos All-Pro left tackle Ryan Clady has undergone surgery to repair a torn left patellar tendon and will be out for several months, according to a published report.

The Denver Post reported on its website Wednesday that Clady suffered the knee injury while playing basketball, according to people it didn’t name.

Team spokesman Patrick Smyth declined to comment on the report when reached by The Associated Press, saying only that veterans were participating this week in the team’s offseason training program. Clady’s agent, Pat Dye Jr., didn’t immediately return a phone call.

What did it cost us, 3 players and a lot of money, we'll see.

• WR Demaryius Thomas (1st Round, 22nd overall)
• QB Tim Tebow (1st Round, 25th overall)
• OL Zane Beadles – (2nd Round, 45th overall)
• C J.D. Walton – (3rd Round, 80th overall)
• WR Eric Decker – (3rd Round, 87th overall) (from Philadelphia)
• CB Perrish Cox – (5th Round, 137th overall) (from Philadelphia via Cleveland)
• C Eric Olsen – (6th Round, 183rd overall)
• CB Syd’quan Thompson - (7th, 225th overall)
• DE/OLB Jammie Kirlew – (7th, 232rd overall)

Well the new schedule is out as normal we kick off our division against Oakland and face some tough competitors. Not the easiest schedule but it looks a bit daunting for the Broncos with constant competitive teams, long road trips and Monday night contests. We own the longest streak for Monday night appearances with 19 after this season. That’s how we do it in Denver baby, prime time. The first half of our schedule is not too loaded with some very win-able games with just IND and SD as the real competition. Monday night playing at those dreaded San Diego Chargers. The long road trip to London will not be too horrible considering we’re home the week prior and then our BYE week follows the cross Atlantic flight. Denver opens December play with three straight road games. It plays at Kansas City in Week 13, Arizona in Week 14 and at Oakland in Week 15. Three road games in a crucial month will be tough at leas the travel is relativly light considering we could be going east to west coast and what not. Overall an OK schedule the real concern for me is apparently every year is now a rebuilding year and we get to start with a new team and coaching staff every season, the only constant has been blowing the last few games of the year and the NFL trying to keep the late part of the NFL schedule in division to create better games and keep teams from resting lots of players. Houston Week 16 will be tough, I keep looking their way for a Dark Horse team and Kubiak will bring it late in the season then finishing again with San Diego, we sick of this game ruining our season yet, such a bitter end.

Check it out, what do you see? Tough Games, easy wins, let me hear you!

The schedule — and notes on each game — follows:

Scheffler working hard for the home team.

Broncos tight end Tony Scheffler and a seventh-round draft pick have been traded to the Detroit Lions in a three-team trade that sends the Philadelphia Eagles’ fifth-round draft choice to Denver and Detroit outside linebacker Ernie Sims, a former top 10 draft pick, to the Philadelphia Eagles. Tony played hard nose football and was great for blocking and short yard situations. I love the way he played the game and again another player Mc Douche failed to Utilize though I am glad to see him go, if you are going to break up a team, don’t hesitate to go all the way, get rid of all pro bowl players and their (roomie/#1 reciever) then get all your hard working players sacrificed for the promising draft, then draft players to positions you that are lower on your board and pass up huge picks, then hire your brother and fire 25 years of experience and anything that helped you go 6-0 only to watch every single coach get picked up by Miami, Washington or Huston the same day.

That Scheffler wound up in Detroit is a bit surprising considering the Lions last year used a first-round pick, and $9.4 million in financial guarantees, on tight end Brandon Pettigrew. Sims, who was traded to the Eagles Monday in a three-team deal that sent Broncos tight end Tony Scheffler to the Lions, told Philadelphia reporters that he was ready for a change in scenery.

Sims, 25, said he’d grown tired of the constant losing he suffered with the Lions. Sims was the ninth overall selection in the 2006 draft and played in 59 games (56 starts) for the Lions, totaling 505 tackles, 2.5 sacks, five forced fumbles and one interception. Last season, Sims played in 11 games (eight starts), and had 49 tackles and one forced fumble — the worst totals in four NFL seasons.

Now that JMac has gotten rid of more Broncos and brought in more draft numbers maybe we can finally get a big player who can catch and block from Stanford in the draft, although I agree Dave we love guys from Stanford who wear Number 7 is dropping Hillis and Scheffler for draft picks to acquire a hard working blocking tail back with hands the answer?

Denver Broncos tight end Tony Scheffler (88) loses the ball after crossing the goal line for a touchdown as Houston Texans linebacker DeMeco Ryans (59) hits him during the third quarter of a football game Thursday, Dec. 13, 2007 in Houston. The play was ruled a touchdown before Scheffler fumbled the ball.

Surprise Buddy, pack you stuff. Dress Warm.

Brandon Marshall is now officially a Miami Dolphin. The Denver Broncos had to add a 2million dollar incentive a few days ago to even get teams to consider looking at the 6 foot 4 distraction. Usually it is not hard to get teams to go after one of the games most dominant wide recievers in one on one coverage but his pre-season antics were so widely published and scrutinized no one wanted to touch him. Only Seattle flew him out when he became availible and I thought a college coach coming back to the pros would have been a perfect place for such a juvinile additude, guess Pete Caroll is done with College kids for now.

I stand corrected Marshall is now a fish. Denver traded Brandon in exchange for the Dolphins’ second round pick in this year’s draft (43 overall) and in 2011. The deal is contingent on Marshall passing a physical.

Marshall is known for his ability to break and dodge tackles. He led all NFL wide receivers in yards after first contact in 2007. Regarding Marshall’s breakaway ability, K.C. corner-back/diva Brandon Flowers said, “Brandon Marshall is a defensive lineman playing wide receiver. He wants to inflict punishment on you. He wants you to try to tackle him so he can shove you off of him and get more yards. The Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha said Marshall is “the toughest guy to bring down, one-on-one.^” On December 13, 2009, Marshall set an NFL record for receptions in a game with 21. He is also only one of five players in NFL history to catch at least 100 passes in three consecutive seasons.
