According to reports by ESPN, the Denver Broncos have assigned a first-round tender to Pro Bowl wide receiver Brandon Marshall, who is turning to be a free agent on Friday. Such an offer opens up potential trade scenarios for teams in need of a big downfield target, such as the Baltimore Ravens.
With that tender placed on him, Marshall could still choose which team’s NFL jersey to wear for 2010 season, but the Broncos will have the right to match any offer or ask for a first-round draft pick as compensation. After Marshall sets his choice, the Broncos would have seven days to make their decision on which kind of compensation to take.
The Broncos could also field trade offers for Marshall to keep him with the team. But I guess to club would prefer to have a first-round draft pick of a package of picks.
Another two free agents also received first-round tenders from the Broncos: quarterback Kyle Orton and offensive guard Chris Kuper. Tight end Tony Scheffler received a second-round tender.

Broncos are open to possible return of WR Marshall
According to the Denver Broncos Coach Josh McDaniels, who benched wide receiver Brandon Marshall and tight end Tony Scheffler at the end of 2009 season, the Broncos will not rule out both Marshall and Scheffler wearing back Broncos jerseys for 2010 season.
“They played an important role on our team this year,” McDaniels said. “I don’t see how that has to change. Obviously there are some things that will go into this going forward. There’s no question in my mind that it could happen.”
McDaniel said he had not had any discussion with Marshall about his career future, but the receiver has recently said that he was willing to return to Denver for 2010 season but also remains open to offers from other teams. McDaniels did say that there would be a conversation with agents and players in near future.

Statements will be delivered on murder of Broncos CB Williams
The late Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams had no chance to tell who murdered him, but there has been a suspect, who will have a chance to argue in the case to convince people he was innocent.
The suspect named Willie Clark is charged with first-degree murder but insists that he is innocent and opening arguments are set for him on trial for the drive-by shooting death of Williams. The incident happened on New Year’s Day 2007, and Williams got fatal shots in his limousine from a man in an SUV.
A very important reason for Clark to be accused of committing the murder was that he was among the group that got into an altercation at a Denver nightclub with a group of NFL players wearing Broncos jerseys that include Williams.
There have been also reports that Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall, who was also in the group of Broncos players, wants to leave Denver because of what happened to Williams.

Broncos RB Buckhalter was doubtful for Sunday’s game with sprained ankle
Already missing all of this week’s practices because of a sprained ankle, the Denver Broncos running back Correll Buckhalter may also miss the Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders, so the team decided to list him as doubtful for Sunday’s game.
But he is not the only one with the possibility of missing the game. Safety Renaldo Hill has been sitting out all week together with Buckhalter because of an ankle injury, too, and he is also very likely to miss the game against the Raiders. Cornerback Ty Law is listed as questionable, having a bit more chance to wear back his Broncos jersey and play as he returned to practice on Friday after missing two workouts to take care of injured hamstring.
Rookie running back Knowshon Moreno, who has a less severe ankle injury, is probable to play this Sunday after taking part in his second straight full practice Friday, so was Elvis Dumervil, who missed Wednesday’s workout with a toe injury.

Chargers center Hardwick not ready to play yet
The San Diego Chargers will compete with the Denver Broncos for the AFC West title this Sunday, but Chargers center Nick Hardwick still has not been ready to play for his team in his #61 Chargers jersey.
Hardwick has not been able to play a game since having ankle surgery following the season opener. The former Pro Bowler tried to return and practiced four weeks ago. But a setback last Wednesday just prevented him from practicing again. Missing practice on Thursday, he was finally ruled out for this Sunday’s game in Denver.
But several other injured players were able to practice Thursday. Tight end Antonio Gates, linebackers Shaun Phillips and Shawne Merriman all practiced. Offensive tackle Jeromey Clary did not practice yet after leaving last Sunday’s win over the Philadelphia Eagles with injured ankle, but Coach Norv Turner was optimistic that he would work out on Saturday to prepare for Sunday’s game.

Broncos QB Orton missed practice and may not start against Chargers
The Denver Broncos may play this Sunday’s game against the San Diego Chargers without quarterback Kyle Orton, who missed Wednesday’s practice because of injury to his left ankle.
While Orton told other players in Broncos jerseyss that his condition has improved daily, the team has been prepared for playing the game without him. Coach Josh McDaniels said there will be no changes to the game plan if backup Chris Simms replaces Orton to start Sunday’s game.
I do not think the Broncos should rush Orton back because worsened injury would cause him to miss even more games, including two most important games for this season: the game on Thanksgiving and AFC West showdown game. So it seems that Simms is very likely to start this Sunday. If so, the Broncos will anyway change some part of their game plan as Simms is a left-handed thrower.

Redskins did not ban fans from bringing signs any more
Fans, whether wearing Redskins jersey or Broncos jersey, can take whatever signs into stadium to watch Sunday’s game between the Washington Redskins and Denver Broncos as the Redskins announced that they revised their stadium sign policy that prevented fans from bringing any signs to their last game.
Owner Dan Snyder said in the statement that he understands that “some fans want to express their feelings with signs and they should do so, as long as they stay within the boundaries of good taste and don’t block the view of other fans.” The statement was made about 2 1/2 hours before Sunday’s game against the visiting Broncos.
Because of increasing signs critical of Snyder and front office chief Vinny Cerrato, the team released a ban last month that prevented spectators from carrying any signs or banners into its stadium, but saying that they did so for fans’ security and comfort.
