Broncos News
The news for today was that Brandon Meriweather is coming to town tonight for a visit. Not a huge fan of Meriweather, he is a good stop gap player for our younger guys but I don't want to sign him to a long deal. A year or two at most.The other news point for the day was that the Broncos are deep in contract negotiations with Brodrick Bunkley. They have also reached out to Paul Soliai encase Bunk decides to go else where. The Broncos are among several teams interested in Paul Soliai. An announcement on this situation should happen in a day or two.
Trades
There was only one trade today and it was a big one. The Chicago Bears will send two third-round draft picks to the Miami Dolphins in a blockbuster trade for Marshall, Fox Sports insider and NFL Network contributor Jay Glazer first reported Tuesday. The deal will reunite the wide receiver and the quarterback, both of whom began their careers with the Denver Broncos. The Dolphins gave up Marshall for cheaper than we did but it is a good deal. But Marshall may be suspended to start the year. Looks like he got into another fight. Allegedly he was involved in a melee at a New York club early Sunday, two days before his trade.The New York Post reported Wednesday that a woman claims Marshall struck her in the face outside the club.
Signings
Bears announce a two-year deal with CB Tim Jennings.49ers sign LB Tavares Gooden, a former Raven.
Former Broncos CB Perrish Cox has signed a 2-year deal with the 49ers.

Jags are releasing Kaseem Osgood
Cardinals Release T Levi Brown
TE John Carlson is visiting the Chiefs, but Colts, Bucs, Bears, Vikings, Cowboys, and Seahawks are all pursuing him.
Chiefs will visit with San Diego RB Mike Tolbert tomorrow. Obviously, they're looking for a big back to rotate with Jamaal Charles
Ross will visit with the Bengals on Thursday, a league source told NFL Network's Jason La Canfora. Ross has spent all five of his NFL seasons with the Giants, intercepting 10 passes.
Rumors
Looks like Cleveland RB Peyton Hillis is in Chiefs plans, may also be coming to KC for visit.Eddie Royal still not signed yet. Market turned out to be really strong for him. Versatility, can play slot, outside, specials. Good player. Ravens and Skins are interested.
Manning
Not much Manning news today, it was a lot of will he or won't he visit the Titans. Now it looks like Manning will meet the Titans Wednesday. I doubt he will make an announcement tomorrow unless it is with the Titans. Most likely he announces which team he is signing with on Thursday after the deal is worked out. This will happen unless a dark horse team comes in and makes a move, which seems unlikely.I am a little concerned that the Broncos haven't been able to pick up a veteran receiver and most of the good ones have already signed. Plus with Eddie Royal leaving we need to pick up a few guys. I am thinking Royals' replacement can be found through the draft, but we need to find a true No 2 receiver. That is it for today, check in tomorrow for more fun and games ~ Aussie.
