Daniel Graham talking money with Hawks

[HEAV]

Contract talks between Seattle and free agent Daniel Graham are expected to begin Tuesday morning now that Patrick Kerney is signed.

Interest in Graham has slowed since a false report came out early in free agency that he'd signed with Denver. Oakland may be in the market.

Man Kerney says in that article that he felt he had a slightly better chance to win a SB with Seattle.

[BroncoBuff]

HEAV, I think we're monitoring the same board .... this is our second identical thread in 30 minutes (the other was Macklin).





1-2-3 MERGE!

[broncswin]

Yeah that is what he said, but what he was thinking was I have a slightly better chance of making more damn money in Seattle!!!!!!11

Well, we´d have a free pass into the playoffs in the NFC West also.

Seattle is in the NFC that alone gives them a better chance

Very true

I siad it in a post a few days ago. Seattle plays in a weak Division and Confrence. Their QB,RB are more established and they have been to the show recently.

So yes they have a slight edge over Denver this year. But Denver has more long term potential than the Seahwaks.

We will get our DE in teh draft. Let's just get the Graham kid signed and see what we can do with Bly being a cry baby.

I notice that Buff

Just posting when I see an update. Just keep posting Bro and we will let the Mods figure it out. I'm going to lunch here soon anyway.

[theAPAOps5]

Supposedly Seattle is going to offer something over Denver's but I also saw that Burger Bill wrote this morning that Denver may make some cuts to get the FA's they want so maybe the offer him more.

[Hotrod]

Even if we miss on Graham its great to be a Bronco fan.


I wonder if the KC FO is back from their yearly FA period vacations yet???

I say we screw with the Chef's and make an offer to Allen.

Weren't you guys 1-3 against the NFC West last year? :clown:

BTW I hate the seahags and their pansy schedule/division/conference. Players may have a better chance of advancing to the SB with Seattle, but forget about winning a SB. The AFC is winning at least the next 5.

Loss to the Rams- George Foster

Loss to the Sea Hawks- Defensive Line meltdown after Cutler to Marshall TD

Loss to the 9ers- George Foster


We've already fixed one of those problems.

[listopencil]

George Foster is the Antichrist.

[listopencil]

George Foster eats babies.

[watermock]

Graham is just testing his value. If I wasn't concerned about protection for Jay I couldn't care less. This "I will play when I want for who I want" crap is getting old. Teams are paying rediculous salaries...thanks SF for throwing everything out of whack.

I would of loved to see Clement's eyes when he inked the most rediculous deal in NFL history.

[listopencil]

I once saw George Foster punch an old lady.

[theAPAOps5]

George Foster pisses in peoples Wheaties

[400HZ]

Who's taking over for Foster? Pears? He seemed decent last year.

What's the word on Lepsis? I know microfacture surgery is sort of hit or miss.

[listopencil]

It was George Foster's idea to package CD's so that they can't be opened without a sharp object.

[watermock]

Big George was once caught urinating outside Shotgun Willies. On girls night. TJ was with him. J/K.

[baja]

With Foster gone now players can once again bend over and pick up their soap when it drops to the floor = happier locker room

[listopencil]

I haven't heard anything on Lepsis but we have Pears and Meadows available to play OT. Hopefully Lepsis is OK and we use Pears at RT with Meadows backing both of them up.

[theAPAOps5]

George Foster has Elam type speed

[listopencil]

George Foster causes Global Warming. And he's happy about it.

[theAPAOps5]

Lepsis has had this operation before I think, although I am not sure if it was the microfracture. He should be ready for Training Camp.

I'm not going to make excuses for these professionals.

Rams loss-out played and bailed out by the D otherwise a blowout. Game wasn't as close as score appeared and played a much better game and settling for FG's instead of TD"s almost cost them.

Seattle game-should of won but didn't. Seattle made plays when needed to to win the game.

49ers-overlooked to the playoffs and were beat by a much proven team. Can't look past anyone in the nfl. Again SF made plays when needed and denver did not. Settling for FG's instead of TD's means the game will be determined by who makes more plays in the 4th and that wasn't denver.

The loss to the Sea Hawks was also George Foster's fault. I was just being nice.

[azbroncfan]

Graham will be a seahawk for two reasons....

#1 They have more money.

#2 They throw more passes to the tight end so he will have his wish to play more a role in the passing game. He won't get more than 30 catches in Denver and will have around 50 in seattle.

Have you no shame! This man's career is over. This is where Broncos players go to let their careers die. The only bowl he's ever going to play in is the toilet bowl. He's going from D town to obscurity. You want to put a Broncos player on a witness protection program we send them to Detroit or D Twat.

Poor George! Thrown down the NFL garbage chutes of teams.

You are right. Plummer would have never thrown any interceptions if it wasn't for him and that time when our defense folded like a house of cards. I think I saw a glint in his eye.

[Drek]

What's the word on Lepsis? I know microfacture surgery is sort of hit or miss.
Pears is a RT who shifted over last year to fill in for Lepsis (says something when Foster was a collegiate LT and he didn't move over), he'll be back to RT next season.

A recent article on here commented on Lepsis' rehab. The surgery went well, he's back working out and they expect him to go full speed by training camp. He's had a microfracture operation before and recouped fine then, I'd expect the same old Lepsis back at LT in '07.

As for Graham, if he's signing for the money he'll go to Seattle. We'll deal, he isn't needed but he would help us take our offense to the next level. If we do lose out on him I wouldn't be surprised if we draft WR on day 1.

they made jokes about the methane produced by dead bodies....it actually does apply to foster quite well!

[Traveler]

Got this from a different website

DANIEL GRAHAM UPDATE:

I talked with Daniel Graham’s agent this morning to determine where talks with the Broncos stood on possibly acquiring his client. Graham’s agent told me, last Saturday afternoon was the last time he’d talked with the Broncos.

According to Graham’s agent, there has been no conversation since. Here’s why! Graham’s agent told me he’s waiting to ascertain what the offer is from the Seattle Seahawks first! Unfortunately though, the Seahawks’ acquisition of Patrick Kearney delayed that.

Graham’s agent said he was hoping to have already known what both the Broncos and the Seahawks are offering by yesterday—obviously that did not occur. So Graham’s agent told me he expects to resume talks with the Seahawks late this morning, adding, he would not be surprised if a deal went down today!

[Requiem]

I will hate the Seahawks if they get Graham.

[Traveler]

I will hate the Seahawks if they get Graham.

Looks that way. I'll be disappointed too.

[theAPAOps5]

Sounds like he is Seattle bound based on that myfox report.

[clint7]

Thanks for the info, Traveler.

Oh, I'm sure the Seahags will get him. And even if Denver does manage to pull it off...he'll just want to be traded to the 'Skins. :-/

[ColoradoDarin]

It will probably come down to Graham getting the role he wants in Seattle. They throw to the TE and Stevens has fallen out of favor. Sheffler was just catching on once Jay got the start here. I want Graham for his blocking abilities, but if what he wants is to catch passes, then I say enjoy the rain Dan.

[Requiem]

If Bly comes to his senses and doesn't want out, I still have to be happy with Denver getting a pro-bowl corner and a good running back thus far with what limits we expected them to have given the cap situation. Two starters is nice. I'd really like Graham, and when I read, "Denver hasn't talked to him since Saturday." it really doesn't settle good in my stomach. *sigh*

Oh well.

[Dudeskey]

Maybe Denver is waiting for Seattle to put their offer on the table before they make their next move...

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Unless Denver wanted to up their offer, there's been no reason to have talked to him since he left town. There's no need to up the offer if Seattle hasn't even put one on the table yet. Things will start to move in either direction once Seattle puts something on the table and Denver can see if they need to up their offer or not.

[JunkyardWillie]

didn't george foster leak secret information to al qaeda?

I hope you're right Herc. If we lose out on both Kerney and Graham I'll be bloody livid.

[theAPAOps5]

Problem is if you don't keep an open dialogue then you reduce your chances of upping the offer before they sign.

[Vegas_Bronco]

All three of the NFC East games were plagued with the 'Modern Broncos' plague - turnovers and poor red zone scoring (not getting it into the end zone). Look at how many picks and fumbles we had in the games ----- equals a loss. Last year was a waste, we barely beat the Raiders, stumbled every other week - couldn't win against Indy - gave up against the Chargers - Made the odds against the Bengals - IN SHORT, we weren't a playoff team last year and in the end it showed.

This year should be much better, depending on 1 big factor: the growth and ability of Cutler in his first full season. I'm not convinced he's going to have a huge year but he will definitely ride the highs and lows much better than Jake Plummer and will be responsible for 2-3 more wins with his gunslinger. I think we are getting him the cast of characters necessary to take this team to the playoffs which I love - NOW LETS SIGN GRAHAM AND SOME MORE DEPTH AT OLINE.

[Vegas_Bronco]

If we don't sign Graham - we still have a stout TE corps which will include a deep threat love affair between Sheffler and Cutler - this relationship will get us a lot of first downs this next year!!!

[BroncoInferno]

I hope you're right Herc. If we lose out on both Kerney and Graham I'll be bloody livid.

It may be out of our hands. Graham has said he wants to be more of a featured receiver, and he'll get that chance in Seattle as they are letting Stevens walk. In Denver with Scheffler showing a ton of potential as a receiving weapon, the situation will basically be the same for him as it was in New England where he was the road grader and Watson the primary receiver. It may come down to on-field opportunity more-so than money.

[Steve Sewell]

I haven't heard anything on Lepsis but we have Pears and Meadows available to play OT. Hopefully Lepsis is OK and we use Pears at RT with Meadows backing both of them up.

It's been reported (I think like a week ago) that Lepsis is on schedule for a full recovery and will be ready for training camp. Too lazy to look up the link.

What's the situation with Stevens though is he a FA??? If he is I haven't heard many teams interested in him, furthermore I went on one of the Seahawks boards and most of their guys would prefer the guy they have already.

I thought I read that they were letting Stevens go...don't know if that means he's a FA or an eventual release. Maybe I'm mistaken, though. Espn.com doesn't even have Jerramy Stevens listed on their roster.

EDIT: OK, he's a 5 year vet. He was a 2002 1st rounder just like Graham, so that should mean his contract has expired since most 1st round deals are for 5 seasons.

Actually, I am serious. It's Ok to criticize his play, but when you don't know the guy or what he does in the community it is moronic to denigrate his character.

[theAPAOps5]

Its called a joke... I am pretty sure everyone else got that

[400HZ]

Jeremy Stevens is my favorite Seahawk. Some of the drops he makes are AWESOME.

[plummerrox]

George Foster doesn't get it when people joke either...

[listopencil]

I'm serious too. I am pretty sure Foster really does eat babies. I read it online somewhere.

[Hercules Rockefeller]

I hope you're right Herc. If we lose out on both Kerney and Graham I'll be bloody livid.

So will I. Going 0-2 on players you wanted so badly that you brought them in the first day of FA is a ****ing joke.

[theAPAOps5]

I am sure George Foster is a great human being. This all started when George Foster was listed as the reason for like 3 losses. So sarcastically we took it a step further and started using totally outrageous terms. I am pretty sure no one really feels that way.

Heck Ron Artest donates time to Boys and Girls Club, helps out on Thanksgiving meals to the homeless and donates money to charity. Yet he starves his dogs, beats on his girlfriends, and takes on the Pacers Fans. I wouldn't say he is a good guy.

[DomCasual]

I think George Foster is a decent guy, too. There's certainly nothing there a healthy dose of Tedi Bruschi couldn't straighten out. It's called tough love, friends.

Little known fact: There is a plan getting tossed around among high level people at the pentagon - send Tedi Bruschi to Afghanistan to talk with Osama bin Laden. It would technically be a peace mission, unless Osama decided to give Tedi any guff.

[SouthStndJunkie]

I get the feeling that Daniel Graham is just about to sign on the dotted line to become a Seahawk.

They probably negotiated throughout the day and are finalizing the deal as I type this.

If he wanted to be a Donk bad enough, he would have signed with us by now.

[Steve Prefontaine]

I know we've heard this before but...

I just saw John Clayton on Sportscenter. He said the Broncos have a slight edge over the Seahawks in signing Graham. But he said Seattle is pushing hard. He said he expects Graham to sign tonight.

[Broncojef]

Why is it everyone nowadays has to be politically correct and get offended anytime someone anywhere starts having fun and joking? Get over yourself and learn how to laugh a little, better yet have a beer and relax....geesh.

[epicSocialism4tw]

John Clayton just reported that Graham is likely to end up in Denver.

I would make that a double open-handed smack.

[TheChamp24]

Why Hasn't He Freakin Signed Yet Damnit!?!?!?!?
