Dylan Gandy Waived to Make Room for Marshall

Posted Tue Sep 9th by

Dylan Gandy The Denver Broncos on Tuesday waived guard Dylan Gandy, Head Coach Mike Shanahan announced.

Gandy, a fourth-year player, originally joined the Broncos as a free agent on May 16 after spending his first three seasons with Indianapolis.

Brandon Marshall Wide receiver Brandon Marshall, who served a one-game suspension for violation of the NFL’s Personal Conduct Policy, is expected to be reinstated. The move makes room for Marshall to be counted among the team’s 53-man roster limit.

Gandy was originally released by the Broncos on August 30th. Rejoining the team last week, he was inactive for the Broncos’ season opening 41-14 victory at Oakland on Monday.

The only surprise is that the Turk didn’t visit DT Josh Shaw instead.

    Chargers LB Shawne Merriman will have surgery on his injured knee and will miss the rest of the season, the team said Tuesday.

    Just to put a cherry on top

    FYI, they just announced that Merriman will be put on the IR list.

    Should’ve read the first comment. I got scooped.

  • LorDog

    I guess the O line impressed enough to keep a very questionalbe DT in Josh Shaw. I don’t get it, however. We are SO thin at gaurd.

  • Roy

    I don’t get it. We keep an unproductive d-lineman, and drop valuable depth from the o-line. I hope this doesn’t bite us in the ass in the form of a division rival signing. I am sure Gandy could be a day 1 starter for either the Raiders or the Chiefs. I don’t like this move, not one bit.

    It’s still easy to rip this Raiders cornerbackRaiders’ Kwame Harris not seriously injured Inside The Oakland Raiders for Sept. 9, 2008OAKLAND — The ugliness of Monday night’s Oakland Raiders loss to the Denver Broncos at McAfee Coliseum was not limited to the score, as several nasty brawls were reported in the stands and outside the stadium, police said.

    One of the most dramatic incidents took place at Gate C before the game had started, police said. Three Oakland police officers were attempting to detain a man who was drunk when another man, who was later discovered to be on parole, walked up and “sucker punched” one of the officers in the face, police said. The man then punched a police sergeant, and others in the crowd began fighting. When it was all over, the sergeant and one of the officers had received significant cuts and bruises on their faces and the third officer suffered a broken finger. They were all treated on the scene.

    Three men were taken into custody in that incident.

    “Our goal is to make this a family type event,” said Oakland police spokesman Roland Holmgren. “But there are some people who want to come just to cause trouble. That kind of behavior will not be tolerated and those individuals will be dealt with.”

    Police said fans were particularly rowdy in sections 224 and 324, and officers used stun guns on several people to break up fights during the game. Oakland police reported at least 30 arrests for drunkenness, fighting and assault and about as many ejections for more minor offenses, such as sitting in the wrong seat. The Alameda County

    Sheriff’s Department also made 15 arrests for such things as drunkenness, fighting and some drug charges, and ejected 55 people from the stands.

    Oakland police and Alameda County Sheriff’s deputies regularly provide back-up security at Raiders games.

    One officer, who has worked at numerous Raiders games, said the incidents were not as bad as they could have been considering the game was a Monday Night Football contest against a major rival and the fans were likely upset at the team’s performance
