So where did Elway's magic go? Did it retire with Manning?
[Reply]

He almost got Campbell to take an offer that was $1M per year less than what he could've gotten in Jax. There are still other guys out there.

Cowboys want a trade for Romo now. I wonder what they are asking? Elway said he won't trade for him a month ago. I bet he's reconsidering.

C. Campbell 4 yrs, 15m per yr, 30m guar from Jax, per source. Broncos offered 13m per, 6m less guar. Plus 1M w/no FLA income tax. #9sports

With Pat Bowlen out of the picture, I bet the new ownership group is giving Elway less under-the-table money to work with, so he's lost his competitive advantage.

There you go ... $6M more in guaranteed and no state income tax = winner.

Interesting. Campbell was actually born and raised in Denver and Elway still couldn't sign him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calais_Campbell

I bet maybe he has kids and didn't want them exposed to people like Von Miller and Aqib Talib.

Denver has really lost their luster. Its a given jax would have to pay more to lure a player than pretty much any team in the league. In the past players signed in Denver for less but not anymore.

Love the angle, and I'd do that too... but $6M more in guaranteed and no state income tax is a pretty compelling piece.

So is playing for an ascending team and not one on the way down. :-)

Ohhhhh shit

Things can change in the NFL for sure, but some things are pretty consistent.

3, 5, 3, 4, 2, 5, 7, 7, 5... wins for Jax since 2007. Since 2000, they've had 3 seasons over .500

But, I get where you're going. If you're going to take that risk of being a part of the puzzle, better get paid for it.

Thank you Houston!

How classless of Elway to ruin both of his young QB's confidence, and he still didn't get the deal done.

Funny.. what exactly did he do?
