Wishful thinking I guess. I will take Aaron Smith, Casey Hampton, Brett Keisel any day.
Adding Bernard and Canty give the Giants the best Dline in the NFL.
And what's wrong with the Broncos? Trade away Jay Cutler? For Cassel perhaps? Dumb, very dumb. I know that Cutler went to the Chiefs but just the thought of making Cutler tradeable seems absurd.
Yeah, way too many rules.
The Broncos got an all-star in Brian Dawkins.

I would have been fine w/ it if it was not for all his stupid little gay rules he had to go along with it.
I dont get why you backed out.. it was a auto win bet.. No way in hell were the pats keeping cassel..
No offense 5.0 but when it comes to cap management that was the stupidest crap I ever heard of
Honestly, no one outside of the organization seems to have a definite answer for what happened. The common theme among people in the know is that the Bucs contacted the Broncos about a possible 3 way trade that would have sent Cutler to the Bucs, Cassel to Denver and draft picks to New England. McDaniel, having worked with Cassel considered the deal but ultimately decided against it. Shortly there after, the Lions called about also doing a 3 way trade and were quickly told "no thanks."
Where it all seems to have gone wrong is that no one informed Jay that the talks had taken place. He was told by a reporter (probably Adam Schefter, who is very close to the team) and got upset because he is under the impression Denver initiated the talks.
McDaniels/Xander are young and new to the general manager and head coaching roles they have, and as such I think they simply botched the communication with Cutler and he's pissed. The local Denver news channel said Cutler was supposed to meet with the team tonight but cancelled. I'm sure once everything is hashed out things will be fine...at least I hope.
Thats actually not true, there are various reports including Chris Mortensen saying the Broncos were the ones seeking a trade to get Cassel, not the other way around.
Then Cutler was pissed because the Broncos basically lied by telling him the other teams approached them which is NOT the case. It was on sportscenter this morning and even a quote by Cutler.
Pretty stupid move by a first year coach imo, especially considering his ties to Cassel. If you think Cassel is better dont lie to your current guy when you know he will find out the truth.

The Broncos forum I post on has a few writers in the Denver area who are close to the team and have confirmed that Mortensen is wrong. Mortensen is an idiot anyway and definetly not a reliable reporter.
The Broncos were the ones approached about the trade, just like I originally thought. Both Adam Schefter (who has very strong ties to the Broncos) and a few other of the local writers have spoken to members of the franchise and one of the writers spoke directly to McDaniels who said he decided against both trades after considering them.
Still a major communication **** up though. It'll take some time to work out.
I occasionally spend some time on a Colts forum and team forums arent exactly the best place to get unbiased info about that particular team.
If mcdaniels continues operating the way coaches from the parcells tree operate then he might have wanted to get rid of cutler and bring cassel in to stamp this team as his.. flush away the shannahan guys..
Belichick did this with terry glenn when he became head coach in NE. I find it odd he picked cutler but he may have his reasons that we dont know about.
All that I know is that Cutler had a quote on sportscenter and he believes what Mortensen said. So take that for what its worth...
I agree with this entirely. You need to know who can seperate their feelings from facts. Luckily on the forum I frequent we have a few who are reliable like that and feed us good intel.I occasionally spend some time on a Colts forum and team forums arent exactly the best place to get unbiased info about that particular team.
I'm surprised that none of you biotches have commented on the newly revamped Giant's Dline. Stunned? Shocked? In denial?
Oh, and I'm talking about:
Osi
Tuck
Robbins
Cofield
Bernard
Canty
Kiwi
5.0 it's all over espn bro quoting cutler as saying he knows for a FACT that the broncos initiated the talks. also they are sayin that on monday cutler was still on the market.
Dang Seahawks stole TJ from Cincy!!!
I commented, I guess you ignored it.Like I said I will take the Steelers D-Line and Defense as a whole any day.
They should have kept him over Chad Johnson, IMO.
Yeah you are not kidding...
All the people on the patriots forum thought the pats were going to get 2 first round picks for cassel
I even fell for it a bit when some people around here said a late first and a third.. They got a early 2nd and some salary cap dump (vrabel)
