CoachTsurfing Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 There has been no talk of this that I can find anywhere. This is just a what if? Denver has been looking for a TE, they got rebuffed by the Pats for Graham. Would anyone be upset if we traded Doug Jolley for Ashley Lelie? Or anyone of our TE's we have quite a few? Thoughts and opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Yes I would do that. In a second. Not going to happen though. Denver is looking for a TE. So they would have no need for Jolley! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoFlaJets Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Ashley Lelie is a good WR and I'd love to have him on our team but 2 things-one I doubt Denver would trade him and 2-I kinda would like to see what we have In Jolley b/c last year we really didn't get to see what we actually have in terms of pass catchers with the way our O-line and then QB corps was decimated. I KNOW what kind of receivers Coles and McCairens are (again,last year was an abomination) Cotchery I still don't know but suspect I'm gonna find out-finally.These are things we never got to learn under Edwards.Baker?I wonder if he has the smarts to play in this system and maybe that's why he's listed as a back-up BEHIND Jolley.So right now I say no thanks-I keep Doug Jolley-and I think I'm in the minority on the boards with this...

Sperm Edwards Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Absolutely NOT. We just got ourselves out of a cap mess. You want to sign up for another one this early? Lelie is a non-premiere WR seeking premiere-WR money & is going to hold out (or at least a moody problem-child) until/unless he gets it. We already have Ashley Lelie on our team. We call him Justin McCariens. And if Chad does in fact start the season, what's the purpose of having a stretch-the-field WR? So Chad can tell him to go deep & then check down to BJ Askew? I'd rather have Jolley. At least he's cuttable with zero penalty (we didn't give him a SB) if he totally proves to be a waste of a roster spot.

bman Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 there's no need for wrs with Chad... we need full backs to catch 3 yard miss direction screens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 It's not out of the realm of possibility that the Broncos trade a receiver. With Rod Smith, Javon Walker, and Ashley Lelie making bigtime $$$, someone is going to be unhappy to be the 3rd wheel, and that will probably end up Lelie. That could lead to a trade. However, I don't see Lelie as a Jet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, if it is true that Chad can only check down to the FB with a Lelie stretching the field then I don't think Chad is our starting QB. Something tells me Mangini is a little smarter than that. As for the Jolley trade, I really don't know the answer to that. Sperm made a good point about the cap implications which I otherwise would not have considered. Given that, I say we let Jolley show something and if he doesn't then it's over for him anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something tells me Mangini is a little smarter than that. I was only semi-kidding with this one. If Chad can't reach a WR going deep, he won't be starting. But just b/c he CAN go deep doesn't mean he WILL go deep. As for the Jolley trade, I really don't know the answer to that. Sperm made a good point about the cap implications which I otherwise would not have considered. Given that, I say we let Jolley show something and if he doesn't then it's over for him anyway. It's all about the cap unless you're getting a difference-maker. There are going to be players who you shell out millions/yr for who are mediocre or don't live up to their hype, but that should be the exception rather than the rule. Signing Lelie for big bucks is just asking for it. Denver certainly realizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
