A potential Joe-Thomas-to-Denver deal that both sides were working on up until the deadline did not get completed, per league sources.

Does Elway still not know how to work a FAX machine?

Per sources, potential deal of Joe Thomas from Cleveland to Denver broke down over draft-pick compensation. Cap/time not problems.

Cant blame Denver for making these moves, the window is certainly closing with Manning. Make hay while you can I guess...
[Reply]

I don't blame him at all. He's wheeling and dealing right now as he should be.

If the roles were entirely reversed and the Chiefs were sitting at 7-0 trying to make all these deals I'd be so excited.

Would have been nice, but I'll take Vernon Davis and call it a good week.

For my week to be good, I'll require Vernon Davis as well as a soul-crushing win over a previously undefeated team.

To get a hall of fame starter. And 31 isn't that old for an OT. You could easily see 3-5 years out of him.

Wait, Joe Thomas is a Hall of Famer? Hyperbolic much?

Do any of you donkey fans actually live in Denver? :-)

A pro-bowler every year he's played (8). Generally considered the best at his position. What do you usually call that?
[Reply]

Yeah, I'd say Joe Thomas is HOF bound.
[Reply]

You'd just better hope the Raiders don't move Khalil Mack to his side for that game.

Broncos have two backup edge players in Shaq Barrett and McCray who could start for a lot of teams.

Prisco forgot about Shane Ray, McCray is Ray's backup. :-)

It sounds silly in relation to getting Joe Thomas, but I'm glad Barrett didn't go anywhere. I think a lot of the reason for the defensive success has had to do with the ability to rotate edge rushers so often.
