Updated: Broncos trade nickel cornerback Foxworth

[BigPlayShay]

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3563823

The Denver Broncos are in the process of trading nickel cornerback Domonique Foxworth.

The cornerback was told by the team that he is close to being traded and to go home and wait to be traded. Foxworth said that he was told that there are several teams Denver is talking to and that he has no clue where he will play next week only that it won't be with the Broncos.

Foxworth said the Broncos are handling the situation with class.

"They didn't have to give me a warning," Foxworth said. "They are being classy about it. I'm not upset about it at all."

The Patriots, Redskins, Saints, Rams and Browns are among the teams that need a cornerback.

Foxworth, entering his fourth NFL season, has been Denver's nickel cornerback. With him on his way out, Denver's backup cornerbacks behind Champ Bailey and Dre' Bly are Karl Paymah and rookie Jack Williams.

Bill Williamson covers the NFL for ESPN.com.

[snowspot66]

Hmmmmm, well that's one we won't have to resign, hopefully we can pull a fourth for him or even a third if somebody is desperate.

[Dagmar]

This one has been coming all summer.

[Hamrob]

Wow...I've been a Foxworth basher for sure...but I am a little concerned about our depth. I like Paymah...but JMFW is a rookie...and that's all we got. Wow!

I wonder what we're going to trade him for? A draft pick?

[Dr. Broncenstein]

Any time I hear the words "trade" and "Redskins" it makes my pants fit all funny-like.

[rovolution]

this was inevitable.

He was going to walk after this season anyways and the FO had no intention of resigning him...

05 draft looks pretty bad right now (even though i still think Darrent would have got a contract extension from the Broncos if he was still here. Bly would have never come here had Darrent been with us still)

[The MVPlaya]

Foxworth has been getting owned all pre-season like Dealtha would...

[BlaK-Argentina]

Well, I'm looking forward to seeing what we will get in return. I've always liked Fox but this makes sense.

[BigPlayShay]

I thought he looked horrible against Arizona. Not physical enough, always goes high to tackle. Super nice guy, good person, but just not physical enough.

[ScottXray]

Speaking of Bly, I wonder how his ankle is? Could it be that he is ready to play, because this leaves us really thin at CB , and Paymah did NOT impress.
JMFW IS just a rookie, and not ready.

This is one move I question at this time!

[SouthStndJunkie]

This does not surprise me.

It would be tough to keep both Foxworth and Paymah after the year and Jack Williams needs to see the field.

[Natedogg]

Welcome back Tyrone Poole!

[elsid13]

Best of luck to him, he has be class player here, and is better then most here make him out to be.

[The MVPlaya]

I'm thinking we have someone on FA that we are thinking of picking up.

It's obviously not logical to trade Foxworth for a DB in return...

Anyone have a list of FA's?

[JimmyFocus]

saw this one coming.

hopefully we fleece someone for a high draft pick.

Snyder its Shanahan on line one!!

[bronco0608]

I think one of the main reasons Shanahan has been trying to get rid of Dominque Foxworth is because of his influence over the other players in the lockerroom about the NFLPA rules.

Foxworth has stated that he wants to be the next union president of the players association. A player, much like Jay Feeley (who got cut), who is extremely involved in the NFLPA, can cause dissention in the lockerroom because they advocate player's rights at all times. They might tell a player they don't have to do this, or do that, or practice has run too long, or whatever. They know their rights.

This caused problems for Troy Vincent later in his career after he became heavily involved in the NFLPA.

Don't know if this is the reason, but it might be part of the problem.

[SoDak Bronco]

I hope we get a 3rd rounder for him...

[Borks147]

I will reserve comment until I see what the compensation is.

*please be a MLB or DT*

[BlaK-Argentina]

Will we get picks or a player? ???

Shanahan doesn't give a **** about that, he is to professional for anything like that even come into his mind. This about a chance to make his team better either now or in the future!

[Borks147]

I hope we get a 3rd rounder for him...

I really hope it is for a player and not a pick. We need help at some positions this week, not next year.

[Eik237]

The team must have very high hopes for Jack Williams

[BlaK-Argentina]

I really hope it is for a player and not a pick. We need help at some positions this week, not next year.

Agree. I hope we get a decent player.

[CHANGSTER]

It definitely has to do with the high prices of custom helmets. Another cost cutting measure.

[Borks147]

Dammit, and I was about to convert my #22 jersey into a Foxworth...

[Natedogg]

It definitely has to due with the high prices of custom helmets. Another cost cutting measure.

:notworthy

hahahahahahaha

[ScottXray]

So if its a player, which teams have too many good safeties and or MLB's, or possibly a pass rushing/ run stopping DT they can afford to let go.

Those are all dime a dozen players, right?
Guess, we'll find out soon enough if this is true.

[Spider]

Best of Luck Fox ........ well until you play us , then I hope you go Rain Man ;D

[Natedogg]

Happy trails Foxworth. You might have a good career, you were usually in good position.

[Hamrob]

My guess it will be a draft pick. Probably a 4th or 5th rounder...perhaps with an escalator built in surrounding playing time...where we might get a 3rd if he plays and plays well.

[Hamrob]

I don't know if his Union loving had anything to do with it....but he'd be best served to concentrate all of his time and energy in becoming a better player....because he is average at best.

[Hamrob]

I did see where Eugene Wilson was cut. Do we take a look at him? I agree that we will probably bring Poole back.

[theAPAOps5]

At this point in the season after you have trimmed your roster down to 53 you really are taking a risk trading just for picks. You a trading at least a servicable player for a pick and now you have to go find one to replace. I think it could be a player maybe a LB with Boss hurting or a DL player.

Who knows just throwing spitballs against wall at this point.

[Bronx33]

Any time I hear the words "trade" and "Redskins" it makes my pants fit all funny-like.



you too!!!

[Eik237]

I hope we get a player. I agree with what another post said we need help this season

[elsid13]

Since the reporter is Burger Bill, he might have heard this on the light rail

Not really because you just had CBs in camp that could came in and play the 6th CB if needed.

If a trade occurs it will be for picks!

[Borks147]

Since the reporter is Burger Bill, he might have heard this on the light rail

except that he quoted Foxworth.

try again

[Bronx33]

Iam smart just not football smart

Thats not the point. If they liked the players in camp then they would have traded him then for picks. Who knows though I am really just taking a wild guess.

[UltimateHoboW/Shotgun]

Should trade Fox for picks or players?

I think that Fox is worth at least a 3rd.

If its for a player, it should be for a D-linemen like a DE.

[Hamrob]

Let's hope the Foxworth is traded to a team that we play this year. Hopefully he'll wind up starting for them. I would love to see him on BMARSH! Yeahhh....

[Ray Finkle]

How does Burger Bill not find out crap when he works for the DPO and now he is beating everyone to the punch?

[yerner]

If this is for a mid round pick, How does this help the team right NOW? One injury and then what do we got?

[Hamrob]

Anybody think it's for a RB?

[Borks147]

Let's hope the Foxworth is traded to a team that we play this year. Hopefully he'll wind up starting for them. I would love to see him on BMARSH! Yeahhh....

comments like these make me realize they aren't going to get a king's ransom for him...if we can tell he is middling at best, the personnel department of a team will know too.

boo.

oh well, the redskins are involved in the trade possibly, you can always hold out hope.

[HEAV]

Big mouth blab'n, internet blog'n, Champ Bailey wanna-be...

The team is getting younger, which could me struggles in 2008.

I liked Foxy, but then his mouth started running and his play couldn't match his mouth.

[Grumps]

Should trade Fox for picks or players?

I think that Fox is worth at least a 3rd.

If its for a player, it should be for a D-linemen like a DE.

If it comes to picks, I will be surprised if Denver gets a 4th for the guy. But if Washington is involved you never know. :wiggle:

[Rock Chalk]

Any time I hear the words "trade" and "Redskins" it makes my pants fit all funny-like.

BWahahaha

[Requiem]

I know there are some here who believe there is a lot to be desired from his play on the field, but he has been nothing but class on and off the field. What he's done for the Denver Community and what he has helped to in placing bandages on the franchise and families of those impacted by the passing of Darrent Williams will never be forgotten or replicated.

It will be a sad day when we lose this young, upstanding player and man from this team. Maybe he never realized his potential here on the field in Denver, but he deserves more salutes and kudos than one could ever give for the lives he's reached and touched during his brief stay in the Denver community.

Bless Foxworth, and I wish him nothing but happy trails in the future.

Foxy, you're a class act -- and I will miss you on this team. The NFL needs more players like you, and kids need more role models like you in their lives.

This one's for you man! :beer:

[Borks147]

How does Burger Bill not find out crap when he works for the DPO and now he is beating everyone to the punch?

because now he gets to hand out ESPN business cards instead of DPO business cards. Plus now that ESPN has the system of division blogs, he has to earn his paycheck to support his massive, massive diet of small children and duck fat.

[broncogary]

I wouldn't be surprised it was to the Texans. Dunta Robinson is out for almost half the year with the injury he suffered last year, and they haven't really replaced him.

[NFLBRONCO]

My question is how much is a fox worth? I doubt we get more then a 4th or 5th for him. I'm glad we needed to move one CB before next offseason. I prefer a pick we can use it on another CB who has better ball skills.

[kmonty]

Bigger news: Foxworth to be traded, or Williamson breaking a story?

:ouwknow:

[Borks147]

I wouldn't be surprised it was to the Texans. Dunta Robinson is out for almost half the year with the injury he suffered last year, and they haven't really replaced him.

maybe...I can see him going to an NFC more easily than a budding rivalry though.

[Rock Chalk]

From Denver to Denver South! Onward Ho!

[MowrMowr]

Big mouth blab'n, internet blog'n, Champ Bailey wanna-be...

Link? WTF are you talking about?

[Killericon]

Maybe we can send him to the Panthers for DAN CONNOR!!

[Wes Mantooth]

From Denver to Denver South! Onward Ho!

Foxy for Mario straight up.

[broncogary]

Foxy for Mario straight up.

I'm pretty sure you'd have to throw in a 6th rounder to make that work. :rofl:

[Killericon]

I did see where Eugene Wilson was cut. Do we take a look at him? I agree that we will probably bring Poole back.

Eugene Wilson or Kelly Herndon would be my choices.

[Bronx33]

How does Burger Bill not find out crap when he works for the DPO and now he is beating everyone to the punch?


Inconsistant mad reporting skills?

[BlaK-Argentina]

I'm pretty sure you'd have to throw in a 6th rounder to make that work. :rofl:

Engelberger + Fox for Mario would work. :rofl:

[theAPAOps5]

I'm pretty sure you'd have to throw in a 6th rounder to make that work. :rofl:

No I just pulled that off in Madded with Foxworth and a 7th. Don't go selling the ranch for him.

[Wes Mantooth]

I'm pretty sure you'd have to throw in a 6th rounder to make that work. :rofl:

OK, Foxy and a burrito for Mario.

[BlaK-Argentina]

Eugene Wilson or Kelly Herndon would be my choices.

Is Herndon available? If so, I wouldn't mind him as our 5th CB.

[Bronx33]

Eugene Wilson or Kelly Herndon would be my choices.


We just need somebody with basic coverage skills that can tackle, fox had neither.

[Natedogg]

Is Herndon available? If so, I wouldn't mind him as our 5th CB.

good call. i bet we resign pool though.

[peacepipe]

I say trade to get portis back ;D

[socalorado]

If its the deadskins, i would hope Shanny would fleece them for Ladell Betts.
WASH gets CB Foxy and a 4th
DEN gets RB Ladell Betts
Schneider is Shannys lapdog when it comes to trades.

If its NO, then i would hope that DEN could pry away a DT or
Safety Roman Harper.

[backup qb]

Great! As I'm waiting for the baby to wake up so I can go do some grilling out and swimming with the other 2, I will now be drawn to the computer every 5 minutes to see if we actually do something here with Foxy.

[Rock Chalk]

Foxy for Mario straight up.

Ha, Kubes isnt Dan Snyder.

[Beantown Bronco]

The Patriots, Redskins, Saints, Rams and Browns are among the teams that need a cornerback.

Pats signed Deltha O'Neal, so I think it's safe to say they are out of the running.

[broncogary]

Pats signed Deltha O'Neal, so I think it's safe to say they are out of the running.

Yeah, they're set! :rofl:

[Gcver2ver3]

i hope we trade Fox for RB depth...

then cut pittman...

[rovolution]

if we stole Ladell Betts from them, i would be frothing at the mouth and frothing in another place i dont want to mention

[Gcver2ver3]

if we stole Ladell Betts from them, i would be frothing at the mouth and frothing in another place i dont want to mention

tmi brother....tmi....

[socalorado]

if we stole Ladell Betts from them, i would be frothing at the mouth and frothing in another place i dont want to mention

Oh, me too!
Or Roman Harper as well!
Either would be HUGE upgrades and make their respective units much more legit.

Cmon SHANNY!

Bigger news: Foxworth to be traded, or Williamson breaking a story?

:ouwknow:

What's next? Snow falling in hell.

[kdissette]

is there any word on what teams are interested or what we want for compensation? I have to think the browns would be perfect because he would be cheaper than ty law. I bet we could get a solid 3rd from them and possible a 2nd based on performance.

[ludo21]

MAn, I loved Foxy here.

Too bad, but at least we get even younger and cut one guy we would have had to resign.

[Popps]

I think one of the main reasons Shanahan has been trying to get rid of Dominque Foxworth is because of his influence over the other players in the lockerroom about the NFLPA rules.

This caused problems for Troy Vincent later in his career after he became heavily involved in the NFLPA.

Don't know if this is the reason, but it might be part of the problem.

Probably a combination of that and the fact that he couldn't cover Tom Nalen on a post pattern.

[socalorado]

Foxy is young. Has alot of years to play, and has been relatively healthy except for the ankle injury, but no serious recurring issues.
I would rather have a trade where DEN and another team trade young player for young player. Each team has needs and they just agree to give up to get what they need to make their rosters complete for the upcoming year.
Just sayin thats what i would like to see.

[broncogary]

Probably a combination of that and the fact that he couldn't cover Tom Nalen on a post pattern.

He could probably cover him on a post, but nothing else, because he seems to really fear giving up the deep ball.

[Bronx33]

Probably a combination of that and the fact that he couldn't cover Tom Nalen on a post pattern.


Yep he would be on the outside waiting for his patented high tackle only to be dragged 10 more yards ( FIRST DOWN!) but iam hoping some team can look past his craptacular football skills and give us something for nothing.

I see your point....the texans have alot of good young LBs and Defensive players. We could trade with them, but kubiak will probably under value foxy and send us less than what the value of a 3rd would be.

[SoDak Bronco]

how old is betts? hasn't he been around for a while??

[broncogary]

Meanwhile, we should actually be talking him up, since these other teams are probably monitoring this board to figure out how much he's worth.

[Kaylore]

I hope we trade him to the skins for a second rounder in 2010.

[kdissette]

what about trading foxy to the jets for favre then trading favre to the vikings for a 2nd and pat williams. lol

[Rock Chalk]

I see your point....the texans have alot of good young LBs and Defensive players. We could trade with them, but kubiak will probably under value foxy and send us less than what the value of a 3rd would be.

How exactly would that be undervaluing him? Foxworth isnt worth a 3rd round pick.

[TheDave]

Meanwhile, we should actually be talking him up, since these other teams are probably monitoring this board to figure out how much he's worth.


Please tell me you are kidding...

[Hercules Rockefeller]

My question is how much is a fox worth? I doubt we get more then a 4th or 5th for him.

Depends on how many teams are truly interested in him.

[broncogary]

Well, it could really be half the teams in the league looking at him.

[Florida_Bronco]

I know there are some here who believe there is a lot to be desired from his play on the field, but he has been nothing but class on and off the field.

This one's for you man! :beer:

Great post. Foxworth has been a much bigger asset and much better player then alot of people want to give him credit for.

[Requiem]

Redskins for a third rounder in 2009, and a fourth rounder in 2010.

Wait. . . that was the Lelie trade.

LETS DO IT AGAIN.

[Bronx33]

Meanwhile, we should actually be talking him up, since these other teams are probably monitoring this board to figure out how much he's worth.


Ohhhh then i take back my last post it was posted in a fit of rage because fox was my favorite player and i will miss him. :twitch:

[socalorado]

I see your point....the texans have alot of good young LBs and Defensive players. We could trade with them, but kubiak will probably under value foxy and send us less than what the value of a 3rd would be.

Yeah they do have alot of young LBs.
However i dont see Kubes gettin the better end of a deal with Shanny.
DEN has the upper hand here IMHO. Lots of teams NEED a CB and they need one right now! Shanny is the master of the trade, bro.

[Rock Chalk]

Depends on how many teams are truly interested in him.

manu, honestly do you really believe Foxworth, regardless of demand, is worth more than a 4th round pick to anyone?

If we even suggested a 3rd, that would drop everyone from bothering asking. No way in hell would I as a GM give up a 3rd based off tape of what we have seen over the past 4 years.

A late 4th, maybe 5th or at best a conditional 3rd dependant on play is about as good an offer as anyone will do (except Dan Snyder who is a ****ing moron).

[rovolution]

Meanwhile, we should actually be talking him up, since these other teams are probably monitoring this board to figure out how much he's worth.

if NFL front office executives are basing their opinions of players from message boards/media outlets, they dont deserve a job (hence why Teddy Sundquist is no longer in the league)

[Hercules Rockefeller]

A late 4th, maybe 5th or at best a conditional 3rd dependant on play is about as good an offer as anyone will do (except Dan Snyder who is a ****ing moron).

It'd have to be something that would get the equivalent value for his tender if it's a pick, I can't see Shanahan trading him for something that couldn't at least become a 3rd.

Awwwwwwwww **** my manz foxworth leaving for a 3rd round pick.....

Farewells to my guy i hope hes still active in the Broncos community since he played a big part in Darent Williams center.

But i guess the play of Jack Williams forced this to happen.

Unless he, by virtue of his play, has proven to be over-drafted...just saying.

[CasinoRoyal]

Lets not bash Foxxy though...

Dude is a real classy guy, Great character and a great community guy.

[Rock Chalk]

Nothing against his character. He's just not as good as his draft slot would indicate.

[JimmyFocus]

I'm pretty sure Eugene Wilson is a Buccaneer.

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Unless he, by virtue of his play, has proven to be over-drafted...just saying.

Guess we'll see if he does get traded, but I don't see Shanahan giving him away. This isn't like the NHL where you only have to get under the cap when the season starts. He's been budgeted for and isn't terrible. There's no reason to trade him simply to give him away.

I agree......Hes not horrible....

Hes not a player you just "throw" away for nothing.

I agree, but a 4th would be a good value for him.

Its not like this is unprecendented. We gave up a 1st round pick in Lelie for a lot less. So giving up a late 3rd round pick for a 4th isn't giving him away.

[Beantown Bronco]

It'd have to be something that would get the equivalent value for his tender if it's a pick, I can't see Shanahan trading him for something that couldn't at least become a 3rd.

Considering teams have had essentially since February to offer just that to ensure his services, and nobody came calling, I find it hard to believe they'll get it now.....especially considering how bad he's looked this preseason in particular. His game certainly hasn't magically improved in the last few months.

[Hercules Rockefeller]

http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_10356496

Didn't see this posted already, nothing different than what Williamson says.

I never said they'll get a 3rd straight up, I said they'd get something that COULD eventually equal his tender.

[broncofan7]

Not to pat myself on the back or anything, but........

http://orangemane.com/BB/showthread.php?t=70592

This ENTIRE preseason he has showed me Diddly-poo. He must be a practice- Probowler because I heard nothing but good things about him from the posters on this site and writers from RMN/DPO, but I have not seen anything rsembling that in the preseason games that I have witnessed.

I want to see JMFW as our nickel corner (I realize that there will be growing pains)and keep Paymah as our 4th CB. I want to see Foxy shopped and hopefully we can get a 4th for him. He will be a FA next year and quite honestly, some team will be willing to make him a starter and pay him as such, he will not stay in Denver. So before he gets even further exposed to the rest of the league--lets get something BACK for him. Foxy must go......

Why sell the farm for Ladell Betts? Foxy for Betts straight up sounds reasonable to me. Both are decent backups at their positions, and Foxworth has starting experience all over the defensive backfield.

If someone stakes a claim on a practice squad guy, the Broncos have 24 hours to match the deal, is that correct? Perhaps the Broncos are desperate to keep someone (like Barrett or Hackney) and want to trade Foxworth to make space.

Not sure if that rules applies to PS though, I know it applies to various places in league business.

[broncofan7]

I'm pretty sure Eugene Wilson is a Buccaneer.

He was cut:

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have announced that they’ve cut defensive back Eugene Wilson.

Wilson was signed by the Bucs as a free agent earlier this year after spending his first five NFL seasons with the Patriots.

He started 15 games as a rookie in 2003, which ended with a Super Bowl win. In 2004, he started 14 games and earned a second Super Bowl ring.

He started every game in 2005, but injuries limited him to four games in 2006 and he started only six games in 2007.

Wilson was due to earn a base salary of $1 million under his one-year contract with the Bucs.

[mhgaffney]

I disagree.

We need more picks for next year -- to build the team.

Jack Williams has shown the ability to fill in for Foxworth -- and then some.

[Ratboy]

Everyone knew something like this would happen. Shanahan has always liked Paymah's size over Williams and Foxworth. I think Paymah is the better option for as he can be more physical.

I hope we can get a MLB or even a DE.

Too bad Paymah is just as bad at covering or worse than Foxworth.

Paymah = PI.

Time will tell. Last season Paymah was coming on strong, he had some bad plays, but also made some key plays.

[goldengopher1976]

All the best to him.

[Popps]

Yep he would be on the outside waiting for his patented high tackle only to be dragged 10 more yards ( FIRST DOWN!) .

Hilarious!

[broncosteven]

1st Shanny gets a deal done for Holland and now Foxworth! The FO is making moves again and it is going to help this team.

I don't much care if it is a pick or MLB. Any ammo is better than letting these guys walk.

Or you can say failure is not an option :~ohyah!:

[Inkana7]

Foxworth is awesome. He's really unappreciated here because of Bly and Champ. He's a great cover corner and a good tackler. He can play safety as well. He has a degree from Harvard. He's really smart and articulate. A real leader.




He's totally worth the Redskins 2nd round pick.

[SoCalBronco]

I will miss Foxworth. He was all class and a good player in my view. It seems that contract negotiations were not going well and that they knew that he would not resign here. Hopefully JMFW is up to the job, otherwise, we'll probably regret trading a young up and coming corner when we had a 31-32 year old overpaid corner that will be soon leaving the scene.

I wish him well on his new team and I hope he gets paid by his new team.

[Borks147]

You didn't even mention a draft pick once. What the **** is wrong with you bro? :rofl:

[SoCalBronco]

You didn't even mention a draft pick once. What the **** is wrong with you bro? :rofl:

With my luck it will probably just be a player instead of a pick or if its a pick, we'll have to wait till ****ing 2010 for it, like with Holland.

[montrose]

First thing, thanks to Foxy who was a model citizen and proved to be a good - not great, but good - CB for a 3rd round pick.

Secondly, for those commenting how this helps us now - no matter how good or bad we looked this preseason, the 2008 Denver Broncos are still a rebuilding football team. Sure they could surprise and wind up in the playoff hunt, but the team is still rebuilding towards championship status. With that, getting a pick now for Foxy would be great considering he would walk anyway and I don't see much of a drop between he, Paymah and JMFW.

[wolf754life]

they will probably end up releasing him

[watermock]

He's covered better than people think, and he's young. Doen't each team have to have a players rep?

He's worth as much as we got from Lilly and Paymah is an RFA next year too!

Who else we got, JMFW is still an unknown.

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

If there's a team to be fleeced right now, it's the Browns. Bad secondary last year and not faring much better heading into the season opener against the Cowboys. They need CBs, Denver has one and the ability to call most of the shots in a potential trade.

And we play them this season. I like my chances betting big on Denver with the Foxworth v. Marshall matchup.

[Needa Pass Rush]

Bring back Shoate! ;)

[Los Broncos]

Its time for him to go, he looks bad out there.

[Needa Pass Rush]

Broncos nickleback Domonique Foxworth was told this morning that the Broncos were about to trade him. Foxworth did not attend practice today.
"I wish the Broncos and Mike Shanahan and Pat Bowlen well," Foxworth said. "I appreciate the time they gave me here. But if they feel it's time for me to move on, then I have to move on. I'm fine with it."
Foxworth had been a part-time starter and nickleback each of his first three seasons with the Broncos. However, he had a particularly tough pre-season game Friday against Arizona.
Meanwhile, rookie Jack Williams had two interceptions during the pre-season.
Karl Paymah will now be the nickleback, with Williams moving up to dimeback.

More moves
Safety Roderick Rodgers was the final player signed to the Broncos practice squad Monday.
Rodgers was waived when the team picked up safety Calvin Lowry off waivers from Tennessee on Sunday. Rodgers, a second-year player from Wisconsin, played in the Broncos' final two games of 2007. The other players signed to the practice squad are: quarterback Darrell Hackney, wide receiver Travis Wilson, running back P.J. Pope, safety Josh Barrett, guard Mitch Erickson, defensive tackle Steven Harris and defensive end Ryan McBean.

[Hamrob]

What I don't get is why they send him home and tell them they are going to trade him...when they haven't gotten a deal done. Great...the player respects the organization for doing so...but it devalues any deal you might get. Teams start to think, you're going to get rid of him no matter what...so why pay more than they absolutely have to.

[SoCalBronco]

I'm glad they added McBean.

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Probably because they don't want him to get hurt at practice and kill any deal? They wouldn't send him home unless they were close.

I'm thinking the same thing. I'd take a 3rd or a combination of 4th and 6th, or something like that.

The thing is I'm looking at their roster and there is nothing on the roster that is simular value. It'll hav to be for draft picks. And it'll be for good value considering that they are willing to trade and we've traded with them before.

Lets also remember that Fox started that game vs. Dallas and maked up well against T.O.

[Needa Pass Rush]

Probably because they don't want him to get hurt at practice and kill any deal? They wouldn't send him home unless they were close.

Exactly. Close with 'several' teams. The demand will protect his value.

[Hamrob]

Probably because they don't want him to get hurt at practice and kill any deal? They wouldn't send him home unless they were close.I hope you're right. As much as I don't care for Foxworth's play...trading him for anything less than a 5th rounder would be a poor deal...IMO.

[watermock]

he's worth a 3rd.

[CasinoRoyal]

I disagree.

We need more picks for next year -- to build the team.

Jack Williams has shown the ability to fill in for Foxworth -- and then some.

Yeah i love going into draft day with alot of picks.....Were young and have a steady core of young talent already.

More picks is the way to go.......

Like you said Jack Will is a beast and should be able to play the dime package right away.

Paymah is not a slouch but he should get to be more physical this year now.

[NFLBRONCO]

Yeah but, I doubt we get a 3rd for him.

Travis Wilson was a 3rd round pick by Cleveland a few years ago. From what I've heard, they always gave him opportunities but he had trouble with drops. Watts v2.0.

[Beantown Bronco]

he's worth a 3rd.

If that were true, one of the other 31 teams would've made him an offer in the off season when they had the chance to grab him for just that.

I think we are more young and talented on the offensive side of the ball. But I wouldn't mind it if we took the entire next draft and just spent it on the defensive side. Look at the roster outside of Champ, DJ, Doom, and Thomas (maybe) there isn't a defensive starter that doesn't have major holes in there games. IE injury with Robertson, journeymen talent ie McCree.

[snowspot66]

If that were true, one of the other 31 teams would've made him an offer in the off season when they had the chance to grab him for just that.

Trading for players at this point in time can increase their value because it's usually teams looking to fill a hole at the last minute. It's a possibility we can get a third but I'm not holding my breath.

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

So, what's it going to be?

... I am McBean!

No you're not. No one's McBean. McBean's never existed because that's a made up dumb ****ING FAIRY TALE NAME, YOU ****!

[watermock]

That's true, I dont see any urgency to trade him just to trades sake. Is he an URFA next year or RFA?

Broncos | Foxworth to be traded
Mon, 1 Sep 2008 17:48:20 -0700

Denver Broncos CB Domonique Foxworth will be traded in the next day or two. He was held out of practice Monday, Sept. 1, while the deal is finalized.



So does Denver have the deal in place and just tying up the loose ends? I would go crazy if Denver could pull out a 2nd round pick.

[The MVPlaya]

Foxworth and 3rd + 4th round pick traded for Portis and undisclosed pick

[*Famous*]

I hope we can find an MLB to bring in. JMFW > Foxy anyhow.

[GreatBronco16]

Foxworth and 3rd + 4th round pick traded for Portis and undisclosed pick

OMG, that would be funny as ****.:rofl:

[Hamrob]

Wasn't it the last time that we did this...that we managed to walk away with that perennial All-Pro Defensive End...John Engleberger???

I thought so.

I think we traded that worthless 1st round draft pick Willie Middlebrooks for that dominating End.

Wow...that was a steal! Hey, he's still starting for us!

[Requiem]

Well how is that any different than normal?

Apa, the reason why I'm dropping acid tonight is because of you!

I dont see why posters would want him in DEN anyways.
Hes not the same RB that was in DEN. hes been beaten to a pulp
by the WASH system, and isnt the same back.
Plus hes a money ho' with an attitude.
I'd take Betts over him any day of the week.

[Ratboy]

If it's the Redskins, I wouldn't mind us trading Foxworth for Erasmus James and a draft pick.

Erasmus is a Shanahan player. He's been injured the past 2 seasons, but his rookie year he had 4 sacks.

Edit: Actually, I doubt this would happen. I didn't realize Redskins traded for him from Vikings. Doh!

[cutthemdown]

No, and it's retarded that people are even throwing his name out there as a possibility.

even mentioning the Skins best offensive player as someone who could come over for Foxworthless makes them look silly.

Foxy gets maybe a 4th round pick.

[MechanicalBull]

Aww damn it that sneaky Shanahan told me I was getting a deal by giving him Portis, Jason Taylor, and LaRon Landry for Foxworth and a 6th.

[broncofan7]

No, and it's retarded that people are even throwing his name out there as a possibility.

I sincerely doubt that anyone is seriously putting Portis's name out there --

[cutthemdown]

If this is for a mid round pick, How does this help the team right NOW? One injury and then what do we got?

probably still a defense that can't stop people. I totally agree with this move foxy just isn't a good football player. He doesn't totally stink but it's a good move to stockpile picks. Especially since Foxworth doesn't seem to be good enough to start.

The WASH system has destroyed him as a full time back.

http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080801/SPORTS01/80801087/

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Shaun Cody might be down to his last chance as a Detroit Lion.


Three years after the Lions were looking to him as their defensive tackle of the future, Cody is now fighting just to make the team.

Cody reported to training camp lighter than at any other point in his NFL career, saying he thinks he understands the commitment demanded by the pro game.

"Now I know what it is going to take," Cody said. "I realized that if I wanted to keep doing this, I had to take it more seriously. I have to be a professional and work harder."

The Lions traded up to draft Cody in the second round in 2005, one round after taking his college teammate, Mike Williams. Cody's Lions career hasn't flopped like Williams' but hasn't been an overwhelming success, either.

Six weeks into his first season, on Oct. 10, 2005, Cody had 1 1-2 sacks against Carolina. He hasn't had another sack since. In 2006, he missed 10 games with a toe injury and had only 15 tackles, then had just 34 tackles while playing all 16 games in 2007.

That's not much from the player that Detroit hoped would be a force alongside Shaun Rogers.

"I have to make plays this year," Cody said. "It is important for me to have a big year. I know that."

Cody weighs 295 pounds after spending his first three NFL seasons over 300. Lions coach Rod Marinelli, a longtime defensive line assistant in Tampa, mandated that all his linemen come in under 300 pounds this year, a rule perhaps easier to obey following the 350-pound Rogers' departure for Cleveland.

"I figure if they can be 310, why not be 295," Marinelli said. "Our defensive package is about movement, quickness and finesse. They don't need the extra size."

The key to Cody's future in Detroit might come down to his ability to get his first sacks in nearly three years. Marinelli's Tampa Two defensive scheme relies on a strong pass rush from the defensive line, something that has been lacking in recent years.

"When you get a sack, it just about ends that offensive series, and that's key," Marinelli said. "We have to get that production from our front four. That's big."

<FORM>Comment: Cody is a career backup who gives valuable depth along the defensive line. He has good size and initial quickness and can be explosive with his first step. He is at his best when on the move and is an effective interior stunter that can redirect and make plays along the line of scrimmage. He plays with good pad level and uses his hands well. Cody doesn't have great power or strength to hold the point, especially versus double teams, but he does have quick hands to separate from blocker and leverage the ball. He needs to expand his pass rush package as he isn't very active pressuring the quarterback. Cody appears to have talent to develop into a front-line player but hasn't progressed as well as the Detroit front office would like. An injury that sidelined him in 2006 hindered his development and the 2008 season should show marked improvement</FORM>

It was on DB.com forums. I doubt its legit. Might be some national radio host throwing **** out for fun.

[Bronx33]

If we traded Foxworth for ****ing Cody I'll kill myself.


Shouldn't you be trippin by now?

[Requiem]

****, I might become an official gun owner if this **** goes down.

I'm sorry it has to end this way.

Nothing to be proud of, Russ.

Sweet! just stay out of trouble.

[yerner]

Well if its not this Cody dude, I do hope its for a player.

[BlaK-Argentina]

So this Cody guy has ZERO sacks in 3 years? Yeah that's definitely someone we want. ;D

[Requiem]

Sweet! just stay out of trouble.

I plan on sitting on a porch, listening to music and watching the thunderstorm.

[Requiem]

Seriously, please don't be Shaun Cody, I'm getting really sad right now.

Well you better change that attitude before you take that tab. Because that has bad trip written all over it.

I'm trying to find a happy place man! **** SHAUN CODY.

I'd take a seventh rounder over Shaun Cockboy Cody.

[Inkana7]

No, and it's retarded that people are even throwing his name out there as a possibility.

I hope you're not referring to my post. That was made in sarcasm/jest.

[CHANGSTER]

I was skimming through DB.com forum and one poster said,

"Shaun Cody a bronco? I just heard on the radio......

It was leaked that the Lions are talking to the Broncos and the traded offered was Shaun Cody for Foxworth"

I usually don't post their nonsense over at DB.com, but it's interesting.

Ahh I'm not so sure. Another poster at bronco mania claims they're trading Foxy for 4 passes to The Wiggles in concert.

They are ecstatic.

[Ratboy]

Seriously, please don't be Shaun Cody, I'm getting really sad right now.

Cheer up, the good news is that a DB.com poster claimed this.

95% chance he's wrong. ;)

[Inkana7]

Dr. Cox: Since I've had a kid I've seen the Wiggles in Concert. Twice.

Turk: Did they play Big Red Car?

Dr. Cox: They opened and closed with it. It was.....awesome.

[Dendave]

Shaun Cody & Boss Bailey had seats next to each other watching practice from the sidelnes with thier injuries

[Dendave]

boss must have said he was a good player...if it's true

And that Jeff guy is as old as all of the Mane combined.

They have to keep waking him up because his pace maker keeps stopping

I will have to take your word for it, I have surpassed all my knowledge about them at this point.

[Rock Chalk]

I'd jerk myself off for eight days straight if Portis came back.

Haha, Id be able to dust off the old alternate Portis jersey again.

[Popps]

So this Cody guy has ZERO sacks in 3 years? Yeah that's definitely someone we want. ;D

Seriously. We don't settle for anything less than 2 sacks in three years for our starters...

Sounds to me like Cody for Foxworth is a fairly even trade.

Neither one is ever going to be a real starter on a real team but both are quality backups for real teams and both would start for that ****hole organization that is Detroit.

Popps, if you weren't such a big Boxer lover I'd kick your ass, sadly, your fondness of Boxers makes me like you despite your unrivaled hatred of one Mr. Engleberger.

Sure, he aint the best, but he is the best we got and no one has been able to out perform him so at least be grateful its him and not some other schlub on our team.
