Notes: Broncos' Wilson skips workout; Cards sign Gandy
Updated 2h 14m ago | Comment | Recommend 2 E-mail | Save | Print |
From wire reports
DENVER — There was no sign of Broncos middle linebacker Al Wilson on the first day of Denver's offseason workout program Monday.
However, Wilson's agent, Peter Schaffer, cautioned reading anything into his absence.
"It's voluntary," Schaffer said of the workouts. "It's also his son's spring break. He's spending time with him."
The Broncos have been shopping Wilson around in recent weeks. Schaffer has worked to try to facilitate a trade for Wilson, who's due $5.2 million in base salary next season. Asked if any deals were imminent, Schaffer simply said, "Waiting to see."
Wilson led the team in tackles with 113 last season. He's also the team's undisputed leader on defense.

"We all missed him today," cornerback Domonique Foxworth said.
Foxworth said the fact that Wilson is on the trading block should be a wake-up to every player.
"It tells you everybody is expendable in this business," he said. "The business part of the game comes before the team and unity part in many instances, especially (this) one. I don't think anybody in this organization will say that we're better off without his personality around. For whatever reasons they felt we'll be better off going in a different direction."
Foxworth hasn't spoken with Wilson, but plans to in the future.
"I'll probably give him a call when everything cools out ... just to tell him how much he meant to me and my maturation, and how much he meant to this organization," Foxworth said.
Foxworth didn't know if Wilson would be back with the Broncos.
"All that off-the-field stuff is out of our hands," Foxworth said. "We'll miss him. We miss him already."
Arizona signs free-agent tackle to three-year deal
TEMPE, Ariz. — The Arizona Cardinals helped fill a big hole on the offensive line on Monday by signing free agent Mike Gandy to a three-year contract.
Terms were not disclosed.
Gandy started all 16 games for the Buffalo Bills last season, nine at left guard and seven at left tackle. The seven-year pro started 16 games at left tackle for the Bills in 2005.
The Cardinals, under new coach Ken Whisenhunt, are in need of a left tackle after allowing Leonard Davis to leave as a free agent.
Arizona would love to draft Wisconsin tackle Joe Thomas, but he is expected to be gone by the time the Cardinals make their pick at No. 5 overall.
With Gandy at tackle in 2005, Buffalo's Willis McGahee ran for a career-high 1,247 yards.
The 6-foot-4, 310-pound lineman was a third-round draft pick of the Chicago Bears out of Notre Dame in 2005. He started 30 games for the Bears — at right guard, left guard and left tackle. Gandy signed with the Bills as a free agent in 2005.
In all, Gandy has played in 64 NFL games, 60 as a starter.
Gandy worked out for the Cardinals shortly after the free agency period began a month ago.
Overhauling the team's underachieving offensive line is a major priority for Whisenhunt and assistant Russ Grimm. Earlier, Arizona signed Dallas free agent center Al Johnson.
Browns sign safety Adam
CLEVELAND — Safety Mike Adams signed a two-year contract with the Cleveland Browns on Monday, adding some depth to their secondary.
Adams had 67 tackles in 16 games with the San Francisco 49ers last season, including eight starts. He had 139 tackles and five interceptions in three seasons with the 49ers, who signed him as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Delaware.
He likely will back up Sean Jones and Brodney Pool in the secondary, which was hurt by injuries last season.

Peter Schaffer is doing the typical agent spin control. The Broncos front office don't want Wilson at the workouts (injury concerns) just to make sure that when they cut him he can't have an injury greivance with them.
It's both sides protecting each of their asses.
AW is gone and Denver is just waiting for the draft to see what falls in their lap. If they don't land a backer in the draft, then they will turn their attention to Hartwell.

Makes sense as he has excellent PR skills. His rookie year he wrote all those pieces for the Denver Post. I was just reading his bio on the official site and found this: Foxworth participated in a three-day NFL-arranged business and management workshop at the Harvard Business School during the 2006 offseason
Man he is a very smart dude taking advantage in programs like these.

Off topic, but since there's not another thread for it, I think it's amazing how much foxworth has matured over the last 2 years. I remember hearing him last year and thinking, "This is his 2nd year in the league? He sounds like a vet...."
This is way premature, but how long do you think the Broncos can retain him? He's in his rookie contract, was it a 3 or 5 year deal? I really, really like Foxworth as a player and as a personality for the team. With Bly and Champ locked in for the long haul, I wonder how he fits in with the teams long term plans.

Green shows for offseason workouts
The Chiefs started their off-season conditioning program on Monday, and Green was one of the participants. Edwards said last week Green would be excused.
“That’s Trent,” Edwards said Monday. “That’s what you love about the guy. He’s a pro. He’s still with us. He’s still on the Chiefs roster. He should be here. He’s still with us. Until something happens, he’s a Chief.”
And that, Donk fans, is the difference between a leader, and someone claiming to be a leader.

I don't particularly get why you're trying to troll on Wilson. If he's legitimately out with his son, then that's where he's at. We're not taking anything away from Green; it's really a testament to his character that he still is out there at practice despite the uncertainty regarding his situation. Props to him. I don't see how it's worth taking anything away from Wilson, except to somehow stroke your own ego in some roundabout way; an idea which in itself seems completely ridiculous--I mean what influence did/do you exercise on the way that things are turning out?

But the way I read your posts thus far, I think your intent is more to try and "diss" Wilson more than it is to compliment Green.

No "diss"-respect for Wilson. I have respect for him as a player. Not as much as I do for Green. You must admit though, that Wilson staying home for a son that's on Spring break......? Who does that? I certainly didn't. It would have been an unreasonable request. To have the entire off season to spend with your family. Only to take the 1st day off like you haven't had time to spend quality time with the family?
Dont you think the rest of the players have kids on Spring break? Should they all have just decided not to show up?

There's much more too it with Wilson. The neck injuries and the failed physical. His agent has to protect his best interests and just like Steve McNair last year, the Broncos have to be careful with Wilson coming in to workout and suffering any kind of injury.
I absolutely hate to see Al Wilson go but I will not sit here and question his commitment in a situation like this. He has always done everything that was asked of him and more. If and when he is gone he will truly be missed.

No way they release him. Right before the draft trade talks will heat up.
Or some team with LB needs will come out of the draft with nothing and will get something done.
Either way Wilson will be traded .

Trent Green is showing up because he knows he's a washed up 37 year old looking for his 5th team, and he's got one last chance to score a paycheck from somebody who needs a grey beard to tudor a young QB and if he fails to show he's probably getting waived. Obviously it's in his best interests to be there, and it's obvious that Wilson's agent has advised him that it's in his best interests NOT to be there.

Nonsense, you have no facts to back up your statement which makes it your opinion with little to no regard for accuracy.
Trolling is the act of deliberately throwing out a statement for no other purpose than to create animosity. You should know it well since it is the only kind of post you ever write.
Pretending that you're just giving 'objective' observations is transparent to everyone since you always just 'happen' to think anything the Broncos do is bad and everything the Chiefs do is good.
If Green is so special a player, you must think Herm and Carl are complete fools for wanting to get rid of him, and the Chiefs must be doomed going into the season with virtually no chance of Green being their starter.
Oh wait, let me guess, you just 'happen' to think the combination of Huard and Croyle will be an excellent tandem this year, and just 'happen' to think the Chiefs are in a FAR better situation at QB than Denver is right?...'Objectively' speaking of course.
You are a fool, get lost.:loser:

I really dislike the idea of Hartwell.
Talking about expensive LBs with injury concerns? If you are after an expensive LB with injury questions - Might as well keep Wilson cause he is a better player anyway .
I just dont see how Hartwell is much of a 'fix'.

Wilson will either reneg his contract, or get cut and sign elsewhere - bottom line, Al Wilson will play somewhere in the NFL in 2007, but he wont make $5mil no matter the team he plays for.
Hartwell proved in Atl that the surrounding cast in Baltimore made him look better than he really was.
He signed a blockbuster deal, underperformed and got injured.
I would rather us keep our proven injury prone LB (at a reduced fee of course) than bring in another injury prone LB seeking to prove himself.
Hartwell just doesnt make much sense in the light he is very similar to Wilson; not getting younger, has injury questions, fallen out of favor because performance doesnt justify salary.

i dont think anyone ever said they'd prefer hartwell over wilson...i think the hartwell idea came when it became clearer that wilson wasn't going to stick around even at a reduced rate. if wilson will accept a paycut i dont think there is anyone who'd still cut him, trade maybe...if the value was right.

04-03-2007, 02:37 PM
I am hopeful Al will be back and retire as a Bronco the same as I am with any other player who has been a class act.
However, it seems that they will in some way add a linebacker. One guy who has not been discussed much here is David Harris of Michigan. He is a strong side LB who might last into the third round. He was dominate in the Senior Bowl practices and has been overlooked by many because of the other big names from the Michigan team.

I didnt think you (or any Bronco fan) actually prefers Hartwell over Wilson. I know that idea didnt come from us (fans) - only place I really saw it was in Burger Bill's column
If thats true, and we know Williamson is mediocre at best with his reporting....I just dont understand the Broncos strategy to even think about replacing Wilson with another player in very similar situation. It just doesnt make sense.
If we are to move in another direction - especially considering we are expected to play more nickel and MLB wont be on the field quite as much - then lets develop a young guy either from draft or UDFA.

i have to agree, i think that best case scenario is to snag a MLB in the first two rounds of the draft, and move wilson sometime between now and then...i think hartwell would be more of a stopgap for a year if we were unable to find a LB in the draft but still had to get rid of wilson.

I think that this would be too early for a MLB. Playing in the middle is one of the few positions left in football where tremendous athletic ability is not required. You have to be smart, strong and a good leader but don't have to run a 4.4 and leap over a small building.
IMO, draft no one higher than 3rd and hope you like a guy that drops into the 5/6/7 range.

He played the bandit position at NM. It's a safety/LB hybrid position. Like a Rover.
Funny thing, Quincy Black is another good player from the same position out of NM. Love to get him as our MLB, would work well in Bates' system as it keeps blockers off the MLB and lets him make plays.

So if we are comfortably under the cap, why do we need to remove Al?
For the Trint Green fans out there!
Trent Green reportedly showed up to the Chiefs' offseason program because he has incentives in his contract tied to the workouts.
Anticipating a pay cut he'll have to take with a new club, he's collecting all the money he can. Trade talks with the Dolphins appear to have cooled.

Gonzo doesn't claim to be the leader of the offense.
Wilson does however claim to be the leader on defense.
when ?

Green shows for offseason workouts
The Chiefs started their off-season conditioning program on Monday, and Green was one of the participants. Edwards said last week Green would be excused.
“That’s Trent,” Edwards said Monday. “That’s what you love about the guy. He’s a pro. He’s still with us. He’s still on the Chiefs roster. He should be here. He’s still with us. Until something happens, he’s a Chief.”
And that, Donk fans, is the difference between a leader, and someone claiming to be a leader.
Kinda makes that crazyhorse comment look stupid doesn't it...

I don't recall Wilson ever saying "I'm the leader of the defense." However, it is obvious to me that he IS the leader of the defense. Same as he was the leader of the defense at TN. In fact, his leadership skills were raved about when he was drafted. I'm very surprised how many fans are throwing him under the bus. He has always taken questions from the media and has been a stand up guy. Never pointed fingers, organzied the team defense dinners, and above all, his leadership was obvious during the funerals.
I hope they can compromise and find a way to keep him in Denver. Take him out in nickle and dime defense for DJ Williams but cutting or trading him would be a loss in my opinion.
