The Denver Broncos announced on Monday that the team has traded receiver Brandon Lloyd to the St. Louis Rams for a conditional pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.  The conditional pick currently stands as a sixth round selection which could become a fifth rounder if Lloyd catches thirty or more passes this season for the [...]

Adam Schefter reported early this morning (the man never sleeps) that the Washington Redskins have traded disgruntled defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth to the New England Patriots. In return, the Redskins will be compensated with a 2013 fifth round pick. The Patriots are expected to pick up Haynesworth’s $5 million contract without any restructuring. This move will put [...]

Twenty-six hundred, that’s what the Denver Broncos second overall pick in the first round is worth on the NFL draft value chart. That’s a lot of points. Probably more points than anyone is willing to give up in order for the Broncos to trade back. Usually the gap in compensation is made up for by [...]

Apologies for my four-day absence. I’ve been… busy. There will be pictures. Happy Hump Day. Randy Moss is officially up for grabs. So is ex-Charger Shawne Merriman. The Broncos are currently slotted 4th in the waiver order. Is the past-his-prime Merriman worth a shot in Denver? Klis says Moss certainly isn’t. Are the Broncos really [...]

It wasn’t often the lack of defense that killed the Denver Broncos last season, it was usually the lack of offense. The defense deserves most of the [...]

My power rankings are fittingly named the ‘Tentative Ten’ because every week it’s subject to change, and erratically at that. Also featured is a Rookie, Defensive, and Offensive Player of the Year Watch, and a Coach of the Year Watch, and Movie to watch this week. 1. New Orleans Saints (11-0) The Saints put the [...]

My power rankings are fittingly named the ‘Tentative Ten’ because every week it’s subject to check, and erratically at that. 1. New York Giants (3-0) Yet again the Giant’s pimp slap another team. The Bucs didn’t get a first down until near the end of the third quarter. That really says more about the Tampa [...]
