Broncos Gab

Bubby Brister, a member of the 1997 and 1998 Denver Broncos Super Bowl championship teams, is pleased to announce that he will hold two football camps this summer in the Denver area.

The first camp will be held on July 28 at Highland Heritage Regional Park (Field B) in Littleton and the second camp will be held on July 29 at Cornerstone Park (Field 7 Northeast) in Englewood.

Each camp will cover the fundamentals of the Quarterback position and will include a skill player passing session. BQuick Athletic Development will also be on hand at each camp to cover several important disciplines for campers including speed and conditioning, core strength, stability, flexibility and nutritional consulting.

Registration options, what to bring and complete camp information with mapped locations can be found online at HERE. Camps are open to quarterbacks and skill players (running backs, wide receivers, tight ends).

Camp are for players ages 10-18 (high school graduates are not allowed to participate). Camps run daily from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Registration is $150 per camper. Walk-up registrations are welcome. Campers will receive a Krypton Gear Performance shirt. Lunch and drinks will be provided.

The what seems to be never ending drama surrounding Broncos WR Brandon Marshall took another turn on Tuesday, as 7NEWS in Denver released a story saying that Marshall said he “hated Denver” during a traffic stop for a DUI back in 2007.

“I hate Denver. I hope I get traded. I hate this f******* city,” an officer wrote in the police report, according to the station. The report just became public as investigators of the station asked for it. The story reads that Marshall was peeved at police for pulling him over and not finding the killer of fellow Bronco Darrent Williams.

“Why aren’t you guys out looking for Williams’ killer?” the report says.

Marshall recently asked the Broncos to trade him, and the team went back and forth with the notion of moving him, but decided that they wanted him on the roster in 2009.

Now that this is out, it will be interesting to see if Marshall does any damage control, or if things just continue to get worse with the Broncos and now the fans of Denver who read that he does not appreciate the city.

Pete Prisco of CBSSportsline.com has come out with his annual list of the Top 50 NFL players, and the Broncos have 3 players on the list. Here’s the Broncos on the list:

16. Ryan Clady, T, Broncos: As a rookie in 2008 he allowed a half a sack. That’s amazing. He’s that good. He’s the next great left tackle in a league with good ones.

22. Champ Bailey, CB, Broncos: The chic thing is to say his skills are eroding. I don’t buy it. He’s still one of the best.

39. Brandon Marshall, WR, Broncos: When he’s on the field, he puts up huge numbers. The off-the-field stuff is a concern.

Broncos have been awarded wide receiver C.J. Jones off waivers from Kansas City. Jones is a third-year player who has spent time on the active roster with Cleveland in 2003 and New England in 2008, as well as parts of two seasons on the practice squad with the Browns (2003-04) and Patriots (’07). The Chiefs signed Jones, who went to Iowa, on March 5th as an unrestricted free agent, but waived him on June 19th.

The Denver Post reports that the team is looking for Correll Buckhalter to play a multidimensional role this season for the club:

Josh McDaniels said the Denver staff targeted Correll Buckhalter in free agency because coaches felt he had “multidimensional” skills that would allow him to succeed in the role of a traditional running back and also in the passing game as a blocker or receiver. “His body is young,” McDaniels said. “He just might be, as a matter of fact, I think he is, our fastest back. He’s got a great burst and he’s got great long speed. “To add a guy to our offense that is very unselfish and is going to accept whatever role he earns is great, and he’s going to play his butt off.”

The Broncos makeover of their 2008 roster continued on Thursday, as the team announced the release of linebackers Boss Bailey and Louis Green along with safety Herana-Daze Jones and also waived RB Kestahn Moore and CB Rashod Moulton.

Bailey played just one season with the club, coming over as a free agent on March 6th of last year. He is a seventh-year linebacker who started six games for the team last season, totaling 44 tackles (33 solo) and one fumble recovery. Bailey also played with the Lions, and played with his brother Champ last year in Denver.

Green is a sixth-year linebacker who played 64 games with Denver since signing with the team back on January 7th, 2003. He registered 36 special-teams tackles and seven defensive stops during his Broncos career. Green is known as a solid special teams linebacker.

Jones joined the team last December, and is a fourth-year safety who saw time in the Broncos’ final two games last season and had two tackles on special teams.

Moore is a rookie running back from the University of Florida whom was inked as a rookie free agent, and Moulton is a first-year cornerback who spent the majority of the 2008 season on Denver’s practice squad.

NFL.com’s Steve Wyche did a chat today on NFL.com, and answered a question about the possible head coaching status of new Broncos coach Josh McDaniels:

I think Josh McDaniels will be on the hot seat with the fans but not with team owner Pat Bowlen — unless he sees signs that McDaniels simply can’t handle the job, which I don’t think will be the case. Things are off to a rough start because of the Jay Cutler trade and there won’t be much tolerance by fans if Kyle Orton doesn’t pan out or if Denver tanks, as you said. But keep in mind, this was a non-playoff team that needs a lot of fixing and turning things around in one season won’t be easy

The Broncos have released special teamer Louis Green. He was with the team for the past five seasons. An undrafted free agent from Alcorn State in 2004, Green, 29, was a backup linebacker who made his mark by playing on all four of the Broncos’ special-team units.

The talk about wide out Brandon Marshall wanting a trade from the Broncos continues to heat up, and today on personal blog, Marshall broke his silence on the issue with a post entitled “Clearing the Air.” Here is a portion of that post:

“To whom it may concern,” Marshall wrote. “Life is filled with change, and where I am in my life now change is probably best. It’s hard leaving an organization ran by one of the best owners in all of sports, and someone who’s been there for me through my ups and downs.

“The hardest thing was hearing Mr. B wish me luck in the future, but we both came to the conclusion that this is probably the best thing for me to grow on and off the field. I thank the Denver fans who embraced my emotion and play on the field and showing me love every time I step outside my door.”

The bottom line is that Marshall wants out, and the Broncos are more than likely not going to satisfy his wishes, unlike his good friend Jay Cutler, who was sent packing to the Bears awhile back for Kyle Orton and couple draft picks.

Marshall has already been linked to Chicago and Baltimore, two teams that could really use a top-notch wide out. Of course the fact that Marshall is coming off of hip surgery and also has legal issues pending is another issue all together.

Things continue to go from bad to worse for the Broncos, first losing Jay Cutler this past offseason after issues with new head coach Josh McDaniels, and now reports say that number one WR Brandon Marshall has also asked to be traded.

The report came earlier today from NFL reporter (soon to be the property of ESPN) Adam Schefter, who on radio station KOA in Denver said that Marshall told owner Pat Bowlen that he wanted to be moved. Marshall is already in a heap of trouble with the team for not showing up to a mandatory mini-camp.

The Broncos moved Cutler to the Bears after he didn’t like the way the team flirted with the idea of going after QB Matt Cassell, who ended up in KC. The Broncos named former Bears QB Kyle Orton as the teams starting QB Saturday.

Now if they lose Marshall, they will be down two main superstar starters heading into the 09 season. It’s too late to get a draft pick for this year, so one thought is getting at least one first-round pick in 2010 for Marshall, along with a WR to take his place.

Already the rumors have Marshall being possibly moved to the Bears, where he would join Cutler, but they don’t have a first-round pick to give Denver, as they gave that up already for Cutler. Another team that might be in the mix is Baltimore, who could use a top notch #1 pass catcher.

One thing that any team needs to think about are the legal issues that are following Marshall around. It will be interesting to see if the Broncos really look to move Marshall, and if they do, what they could get for him.
