Just my 2 cents....

My friend who's a Broncos fan and I were discussing this earlier and this is more or less exactly what he said.

Well, keep in mind that Foxworth wants out. I happen to live in CO and have to listen to what passes for sports radio here ( and believe me, it's bad).

With O'neal in the mix I don't think we break the bank for Foxworth. The only DL I'd trade deal would be Smith, *maybe* Wright, but that was before O'neal. But Foxworth has wheels, mobility, toughness, I see him as an Hobbs equal if not more. Again, if not for O'neal, I don't think a third rd pick would be too high. With O'neal, a 4th or 5th, and we are potentially set in the backfield for years to come.

Big Vince will play some TE? For heavens sake! Learn something new every day.

He's gone to Atlanta for a 7th rounder!

I am stunned!
