Based on this article, Quinn made some less-than-flattering remarks about The Golden Calf of Bristol in a recent interview. The Broncos will look to upgrade at QB, even with The Golden Calf of Bristol's success last year, and Brady Quinn could very well be looking for a new team. Derek Anderson is a free agent and there's no guarantee he'll be back. Jimmy Clausen is still under contract but all bets are off on him.

Quinn had two years under Rob Chudzinksi in Cleveland. I consider him a lot like Clausen though...a highly touted Notre Dame prospect who couldn't handle the NFL. But he hasn't gotten much playing time, not even as much as Clausen. He could come cheaper than Anderson and could bring good competition to training camp.

I'm not advocating he be the backup...but he might be someone the Panthers look at.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By TD alt · Posted

      You see, I just don't subscribe to a cookie cutter type of philosophy when it comes to trades or team building. Every situation is different. Many may disagree, but I think that FOs that can't draft impact-players beyond the first round aren't really viable.  Just for argument's sake, because we all know this hypothetical trade is as realistic as the moon being made of cheese, Micah is a young dawg really just beginning his prime and is arguably the most valuable pass rusher in the league. He could realistically play at a high level for at least the next five to seven years. Parsons' current trajectory is Canton. That being said, he's not some old merc that fits the mold of "one piece away," he's a core piece to any defense for the better part of the next 10 years. Pass rushers of his caliber and age don't generally become available, so, sure, he'd help an elite team, but he's also a fit for a younger team that's building. I know that you don't agree, but it's all good. I respect your rationale.

      Here's my not important take on this subject.  Who wouldn't want a pass rusher of his consistency?  I would absolutely love to have him on this defense.   Would I give up Brown in a trade for him.  Nope, I would never do that.  Interior linemen are way to important to be settling for whatever you can get at the position.   Would I trade 2 firsts,  plus fork out a big contract for him?   Without knowing if Young is for sure going to be our long term, franchise guy,  there is no way I'd be okay with letting go 2 firsts. As for the contract that he'd demand, I just dont get caught up with NFL contracts.  They have been out of control for decades.  So I really dont get upset over big contracts. It's just a fact of life in the NFL.  You HAVE to pay for talent.
