Broncos Kickoff Training Camp

Today at Dove Valley, rookies, injured veterans, and quarterbacks reported for their first day of training camp. The rest of the veterans will report on Thursday, and everyone will participate as a team together on Friday. Here is brief recap of today's events:

1)Brandon Marshall reported to camp. His press conference afterward was a little interesting. He stated that he is under contract, and he is obligated to report to the camp. He mentioned that he just wants to be happy, and right now he is excited to play football. He didn't delve too much into trade talks, but he stated that he is here now with the Broncos. My take on Marshall is that he is a phony, and this has and will be about money. I just don't want to deal with him at this point because training camp just started and the optimism is actually high. The Broncos shouldn't trade Marshall, and assure him that he will get a new deal as long as his legal issues are in check and he continues to produce on the field.

2) Josh McDaniels spoke about how he is happy that Marshall showed up for camp, and he is excited to get trainin camp going. He seems to be handling the Marshall situation pretty good, and I am really starting to like McDaniels. I hope all his enthusiasm and excitement can somehow translate into a winning season and a playoff berth this year.

3) Knowshown Moreno and Robert Ayers, the Broncos twin first round picks, have not signed yet, but McDaniels doesn't seem to worried because a lot of first round picks have not signed either. Once the top picks start to sign, then the Broncos can slot Moreno and Ayers into their particular contract spots.
