He'll continue trying to say the Chiefs staff isn't classy when Dorsey and Ballard are 2 of the most respected and liked personnel men in football.
That must be why one is gone and the other was rumored to be going to GB. [Reply]

Yeah, you know. Just a basic, ho-hum, 13.5-sack season for Miller -- chicken farmer, Old Spice pitchman and nemesis of quarterbacks.
With J.J. Watt out of the picture, Miller is to this award what Bill Belichick is to Coach of the Year: You could give it to him every season and it would be hard to make a case that you're wrong. The sack numbers are what they are. This season's 13.5 represent only the third-highest single-season total of his career, and he has cracked double figures in five of his six NFL seasons. But Miller's value goes beyond sacks, and it's hard to watch a Broncos' game without feeling as if he's either taking it over or occupying the opposing offense's attention.
Bravo to Khalil Mack of the Oakland Raiders for doing his best Miller impression, and what Landon Collins did for the New York Giants deserves a hat tip. But Miller is the best defensive player in the league right now.
Broncos very fortunate to have tremendous fan support. NFL’s longest home sellout streak 47 consecutive years, nearly 400 games. https://t.co/3tHf7Q6Y11

“We’ve got some room, we’ve got some cap room and we’ve got money,’’ Ellis said. “There’s no cash excuses in our business as far as I’m concerned. Even if times are tight, you’ve got to spend to the salary cap. If it requires you to do a little bit more as far as bonus structure and whatever else you have to do, then you do that as well.
“Every dollar that we earn goes right back into the team to try and make us better. That’s (Bowlen’s) philosophy that’s how he operated and we’re going to carry that forward.’’
Maybe they'll take on Tony Romo's bloated contract, only to watch him go down to injury in Week 4 behind that terribad O-Line and then be right back to last years QB situation.
You know, minus an extra 10-15 million in cap dollars.
Here's to hoping Elway makes a play to trade for Romo . . . . [Reply]

Won't happen... doesn't make sense. Romo is more broken up than Manning was with the back and multiple collarbone fractures. The upside isn't there.
Dallas will be lucky to find a trading partner, they will likely have to cut him. [Reply]
