If the Broncos sign any of their free agents early, a good bet would be safety Hamza Abdullah. The team believes Abdullah can develop into a fine strong safety. . . . Kudos to Broncos defensive end John Engelberger, who played the second half of the season with a separated shoulder. Because Engelberger never missed any time with the nasty injury, his teammates voted him the team's recipient of the Ed Block courage award. . . . Watch for Denver to cut injured linebacker Warrick Holdman before the end of the month. He is due $1.5 million. . . . Broncos whose contracts may be reworked include cornerback Dre Bly. . . . While his first-round status is far from squandered, many scouts don't think Penn State middle linebacker Dan Connor is a top-10 prospect anymore. Connor was not impressive during the Senior Bowl week. . . . There has been speculation Dallas might have an interest in Broncos receiver Javon Walker if he is cut. The Broncos likely will try to trade Walker or cut him. . . . Watch for Michigan quarterback Chad Henne to rise up draft boards while Hawaii's Colt Brennan, a former Colorado walk-on, continues to slip. . . . Virginia defensive end Chris Long, expected to be a top-five pick, has chosen Vann McElroy to be his agent. McElroy and Long's father, Howie, were longtime teammates with the Oakland Raiders. . . . While it appears former University of Colorado assistant Jim Caldwell will replace Tony Dungy as head coach in Indianapolis when Dungy retires, a similar arrangement may be in place in the front office, with Chris Polian set to replace his father, Bill, at some point.
Just remember, Walker was a ProBowler in GB under Ray Sherman.
I know some will complain about his knees but each player needs a mediacl clearance at the end of the season so they can set up surgery if needed!
I'm an athlethic trainer and see this all of the time.
As for him being a cancer, well, that is way over blown. He was a ProBowler for GB, was under paid and wanted a new conract. Lord Farve butts in and Walker is traded.
For what's going on in Denver, Shanahan changes his mind to much. One minute he wants you, the next he doesn't. See runningbacks in Denver. Shanahan has the highest player turnover rate in the NFL.
Just imagine, T.O., Walker, Crayton and Witten! :starspin
