The on-again, off-again, on-again, off-again talks between the New York Jets and the Denver Broncos could be on, again.
Tom Rock of Newsday expects a trade to come on draft weekend, possibly for a second-day draft pick. Per Rock, the Broncos and defensive tackle Dewayne Robertson already have a contract in place.
And the contract is the key component of the equation, given that the Jets owe Robertson a roster bonus of $3 million in early June and a base salary in excess of $6 million for 2008, the final year of his rookie contract.
From Robertson’s standpoint, the smarter move move might still be to force the Jets to cut him in June, making him an unrestricted free agent.
From the Broncos’ perspective, showing interest in another underachieving one-time top-ten defensive lineman isn’t surprising.

When will the Broncos ownership realize that Shannahan hasn’t done anything since 99′?

90,000? What offense have you been watching?
Oh, and nice signings this offseason, Raiders. J Walk for 16 mil guaranteed? Making Tommy Kelly the highest paid D tackle in football? hahahahahaahahaha
The Bronx have their problems, no doubt. But, as long as Al Davis is thought to be alive, the Raiders will continue to be the most ridiculed franchise in pro sports.

What’s up with Shanahan and first round defensive line busts? I mean come on, Courtney Brown? Gerard Warren? Dewayne Robertson? I’m suprised they haven’t tried to aquire Ryan Sims from Tampa, or better yet, see if Andre Wadsworth or Steve Emtman want to play again.

The smart move for Robertson would be to get what he can, when he can. It’s not like there are a dozen suitors for him now, why wait until after the draft when the few teams that might take medical risks for more than the veteran minimum may have filled any open DT roster spots?

If Robertson will come cheap why not pick him up. He could have a solid year. Plus, he is not a 3-4 nose tackle and would be better off in a 4-3 in Denver.
P.S. Shanahan has had only 2 losing seasons in 14 years Broncos head coach and VP, and has been to the playoffs 4 times since the 1998-1999 season. Stop your complaining!

Hey zwilson,When Mr Davis is pushing up the daisy’s the masses will still be criticizing the Raiders. When Bronco fans aren’t talking about the Raiders thats when I start to worry.
