You won't hear why from the media, but here's the real story.
Over the last few months, Plummer's been talking down on the Broncos. While in the weight room in the off-season he was talking shit about the mandatory off-season lifting and all the criticism coming down on him. He confided in someone that he had plenty of money and planned to retire soon. He wanted to retire in a way that it was kind of a shocker and unexpected. Jim Brown/Robert Smith style while still fairly young. One of the Broncos veterans happen to hear the conversation (or was part of it) and went and snitched on Plummer. Letting the coaches know of his intentions. The Broncos decided fuck it, if he's gonna fuck us we're gonna fuck him by drafting Cutler. I am guessing that Plummer's erratic play had a lot to do with it too.
And on to Ashley Lelie:
From what I hear, they tried as hard as they could to ship him out. Only one team (TB) would talk to us and they wouldn't give up anything. Sounds like the Broncos don't want him at all. His attitude is getting him on everyone's $hitlist. No one in the organization, from Bowlen to the janitor, wants this guy around. Doesn't want to workout with the team in the off-season either.
So Big D, please tell me your sources? Both of these "truths" are laughable.
We got calls from GB, Tenn, SF, Det, TB and Philly for ASShlie. But they all wanted to give next to nothing (6th or 7th rounder), while Denver was looking for a 4th or A player and draft pick trade. One of the scenarios was Walker and #5 for Lelie # 15 #37 and a later today pick.
Other talks were Lelie to SF for an early pick or a swap of wr's
He is mad at the orginization but thats because he is a litle bitch ass crybaby that can't take the heat. He is mad because Denver went shopping for TO and he felt he should be #1....well you know what he would be #1 if he could gain some weight and get off the line instead of getting jammed everyplay....or how about catch the goddamn ball when it's throwin to you.
Then when TO was no longer he was mad Denver was looking for Javon amd Keyshaun Johnson. He just wants a spot given to him but doesn't want to put in the work to earn the higher spot.
Wll you know what? WE ARE KEEPING HIM AND HE WILL HAVE TO LIKE IT, YOU KNOW WHY?
He wants to get paid and be a #1 somewhere, well this is his final year under contract so he needs to perform and show it instead of relying on what could have been.
