Should Broncos inquire about Urlacher or Shockey? - The Orange Mane

montrose · 04-18-2008, 05:47 PM

Was just listening to Sirius in the car when they reported both Brian Urlacher and Jeremy Shockey have requested trades. While I find it unlikely either would be dealt, do you guys think the Broncos should have any interest?

Everything that I've heard makes it sound like NY is definitely willing to deal Shockey, they just haven't been able to find value for him yet.

hahaha didnt we already overpay for one tightend in graham ?

Hey Montrose, did you hear anything on sirius about Denver talking to Cincy about C. Johnson? I heard from someone else that they were saying Cincy had begun contacting other teams and Denver was showing the most interest. I found that pretty hard to believe given our current situation at wr.

Regarding your question, I guess it doesn't hurt to see what their asking for Urlacher but I don't think we would want to take on his salary and the compensation they would probably be seeking. I would not have any interest in Shockey.

No to Shockley for the same reason everyone says no to Ocho Cinco, plus dude can't stay healthy.

Urlacher, while a shell of what he used to be, is better than anything we have on our roster. Doubt we have the $$$ to sign him, though.

cmhargrove · 04-18-2008, 05:55 PM

If either one of them can play D-tackle, by all means...

worm · 04-18-2008, 06:04 PM

Thought Shockey was headed to New Orleans...

Bronco Billy · 04-18-2008, 06:09 PM

The sports section of the Chicago Sun-Times was filled with stories about Urlacher being unhappy. He missed workouts and wants a trade or is threatening to retire. Though, everyone highly doubts he'll retire. His current contract from '03 is 9 years, $56.65 million with a $13 mil signing bonus. Last year, he was a $5.9 million hit on the cap.

Actually the latest news I heard is that Urlacher contacted the Chicago Sun Times and cleared the air. He said he never threatened retirement or requested a trade. False reports this morning.

No kidding? I always thought Jay Marriotti was the only one doing that over there. Guess his virus spread.

broncofan2438 · 04-18-2008, 06:21 PM

Hell yea, sounds like a plan

FantomForce · 04-18-2008, 06:29 PM

You know Urlacher would ******g love it here having graduated from University of New Mexico. People down there would go crazy plus that would solidify MLB

brncs_fan · 04-18-2008, 06:46 PM

Not going to happen. Urlacher is to the Bears what Manning is to the Colts.

Los Broncos · 04-18-2008, 06:54 PM

I don't want Shockey, Urlacher would be nice.

I think the Saints offered the Giants a deal and NY turned it down and last I heard they are trying to come up with another offer.

Shockey can be real good if he wants to be but I am definitley content with Scheffler at the helm. Him and Cutler have a good connection and should catch around 50-60 balls a year.

I love it when people who don't understand football post stuff like this.

spdirty · 04-18-2008, 07:33 PM

why in the hell would we need Shockey?

Oh wow, lets do it just for that reason then.

Dagmar · 04-18-2008, 08:02 PM

Shockey? Are you high? Is HE high?

I'd take Urlacher in a heartbeat.

Dagmar · 04-18-2008, 08:04 PM

I'd give SoCal a coronary and give up the 2nd for Brian. Maybe more...

oubronco · 04-18-2008, 08:55 PM

ESPN said that NY wanted a 2nd rd pick for Shockey

No, we weren't mentioned for any of these potential traded. They were simply stating that Urlacher and Shockey would like to be moved and was wondering if anyone here on the Mane thought we should show interest. As for Johnson, I doubt we're in the market for another WR after signing D-Jack.

Ask The Patriots OL if they missed tightend Graham during the SB.

peacepipe · 04-18-2008, 09:24 PM

Urlacher said in a statement that the only way he's not with the bears is if he were traded & that chicago is where he wants to be.
