No, when a player is traded his contract is assigned to the new team who - and I quote from the CBA:

...assignee club will pay Player’s necessary traveling expenses in reporting to it and will faithfully perform this contract with Player.

From the day he was drafted money has been an issue. He got a rookie deal over the slot he was in and it sent a bad message. He threatened a long holdout a few years later and got an above-market deal, again sending the wrong message. That deal had a "no franchise" clause in it which makes it tough to trade him under this contract.

hmm... something doesn't wash. Elway doesn't believe in spending big in FA unless it's a stud like PM. so who would be so enticing? Jackson to pair with Manning for a title?

Uh, the Broncos brought in one of the biggest FA landings ever in Manning.

It's quite obvious the Broncos will go after big named guys IF the price is right.

They were close last year. You don't think they are interested in adding good players to the roster? Lol.

ZONA · 03-07-2013, 05:12 PM

Okay so nobody has an opinion on Jackson? Don't ignore me you friggen tools.......hahahaha, JK - gotta a nice Thursday buzz going. Sometimes instead of watching a good comedy movie I come here and read instead. Same affect, lol.

By the way, the Ravens playing with emotion was a really stupid comment I made now.. Right?

so you completely gloss over the fact that i said they don't believe in going heavily into FA unless it's a stud like PM(Peyton Manning) and then use PM to make a point i already made?

not understanding that. Elway has said he wants to build the team through the draft and not necessarily FA. so my question was who in FA would be big enough to be similar to Manning if they want Doom to restructure to free up cap to go into FA.

Rascal · 03-07-2013, 06:05 PM

People owe Beavis an apology, or at the least admitting they are wrong.

http://www.itsalloverfatman.com/bron...elvis-dumervil

Unfortunately, I screwed this one up. Clauses such as the one the Jets gave Revis (waiving their right to use their franchise tag on him) do transfer in a trade. Any team that acquires Revis will either have him for 2013 and lose him to free agency, or they'll have to come to terms with Revis on a longer term deal of their own. Like the Jets, they will not be able to tender Revis.

Requiem · 03-07-2013, 06:09 PM

There are plenty of players the team could look at to help out the squad. I figure we will have some decent room to play with. Them wanting Dumervil to ease things up signals to me there are players in FA they would like to have. They might not be big named guys, but they are players who are better than what we had last year at spots:

Terrance Knighton, DT -- JDR selection, obvious fit for the defense. Legit starter. Young.

Michael Bennett -- Not as good of a pass rusher as Dumervil, but a better defender against the run. Would make sense going forward if Dumervil somehow (unlikely) is released/traded.

William Moore or Dashon Goldson -- Would be pricey, but we need longevity in the secondary. They provide this.

Alan Branch -- Did nothing to start his career, but NT for Seahawks the past two. Could help DT rotation.

Dannell Ellerbe -- Cut Mays, cut DJ -- get him?

Derek Cox, Daryl smith -- JDR connection.

Maybe Jackson or Bradshaw at RB.

we could afford one or two of these guys lol

One of the many reasons teams aren't considering giving anywhere near one 1st rd pick for him right now, well that and the ridiculous $16m per year contract wanted, oh and I forgot the ACL.

I am pretty meh on Jackson, I don't think he will be an upgrade over Mcgahee as a runner, although he is a definite upgrade as a receiver. It has been 6 full seasons since he had double digit TDs in a season, which is a long time for a guy who has about 300 touches per year. His per carry average is not great and it doesn't look like it will improve.

For any team who goes and gets Jackson, I think there has to be an understanding that he is pretty close to his "best before" day, so giving him a big contract with a lot of guaranteed money is a big risk to take.

I think there are better places to spend money in free agency for both short and long term gains. If we really need a RB, I think the 2nd round of the draft is going to give us some really solid options for guys to complement Ronnie Hillman.

Broncos RE Elvis Dumervil's agent says his client is open to restructuring his deal.
Dumervil is not open to a pay cut, though. "If we can meet on some common ground there's a potential we can get it done. If we can't, then they'll have to make a decision," said Dumervil's agent. "Elvis wants to return as a Bronco if it all possible, and that's what we're trying to do." Dumervil's $12 million salary becomes guaranteed on March 16, but Denver is likely to make a decision by the start of free agency on Tuesday.

Requiem · 03-07-2013, 06:23 PM

So what can we do to keep Elvis and give us more room this year? Eddie?

Cap dude tell us!!!

Now wait a minute, I was told that restructuring was a pay cut. That I was being really inconsiderate expecting a guy to take a pay cut and essentially restructuring was just that.

Luucccy!

They could basically save $7.33m this year if they wanted to but they wont. They could turn $11m of his $12m base into a signing bonus then prorate it over the remaining 3 years of his contract, saving $7.33m this year but then adding $3.7m to his cap numbers in 2014 and 2015.

I very much doubt Elway will do that but you never know. It seems to me we're not trying to create caproom as such but to find more actual cash spending money this year. ESPN and the others haven't got a ****ing clue when it comes to actual spending.

i agree that we can afford those guys, but the quote was that they wanted to free money up for free agency. Elway is on record as wanting to build through the draft and has passed on top tier free agents in the past outside of Manning.
everyone else has been reclamation projects, aging vets who have a bit left in the tank or lower tier low risk signings.
now maybe the philosophy has changed because Manning has only so many years left and it's a championship or bust mantra now.

so my thought was that there is likely one key guy they see that they want to chase and think it might take up some cap room and want to have additional flexibility if they can land him.

i assume it's Steven Jackson since it would provide Manning with a dynamic RB he hasn't had since James in Indy.
