While watching that Weasel Clayton on ESPN today, he talked about free agents left and where they might sign. Denver is pushing to get rid of Lelie for the best offer they can. The amazing thing is, Shanahan is asking for a 1st round pick for Lelie! That or a good Running Back.
If I recall correctly, I dont think Lelie caught one TD last year. Im too lazy to look it up but I think he had the numbers of a 3rd or even 4th receiver. Jason Peters had more TDs than him. Moulds goes for a 4th, Terrel Owens went for a 3rd round pick to the Eagles, and Shanahan thinks hes gonna get a 1st? Sure Lelie is young and has potential, but what is Shanahan smoking to think he'll get anywhere near this. I dont know why the Broncos would even get rid of him.
IMO this is stupid considering Rod Smith is old, and despite having a good year this year, is bound to start declining. So then they have Javon Walker, coming back from a serious knee injury that he may never fully recover from (just ask Jamal Anderson). So what happens if Walker has problems, and Smith is not productive, or also has injuries. Whos their #1? Darius Watts? They dont have quality depth at all at WR. WIth Mike Anderson gone, they're whole offense could rely on Plummer and Bell. I dont see these guys being too successful.
