Cuse9 131 Posted July 30, 2006 Any news on whether a trade may be in the works... I drafted him in a late round taking a chance that Philly would pick him up... Philly or Denver homers... anything new... Broncos WR Ashley Lelie was not seen before Denver's mandatory first meeting of training camp Thursday. Lelie's holdout is starting. Lelie's agent is looking for a trading partner, but Denver probably wouldn't mind keeping him as a third receiver. From Roto World The problem is Lelie has been very vocal bout wanting to be a number one wr....and he's not #1 caliber, so I don't think any teams are biting, because they know it's just a headache waiting to happen if he don't get enough balls?!

THRILLHO 0 Posted July 30, 2006 "Lelie's holdout is starting. Lelie's agent is looking for a trading partner, but Denver probably wouldn't mind keeping him as a third receiver." Everything I've heard about their WR situation has Watts performing very well at the #3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vince44 208 Posted July 30, 2006 I wish guys like him would know their roles and shut their mouths, next thing you know all below average WR's will start demanding trades, if he got moved to special teams he would have no room to complain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lguero1 4 Posted July 30, 2006 there are some bad receiving corps out there but i can't see ashley being #1 in SFF, ATL or PHI, which are probably the worst. i'll give you a rib and some lint for ashley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Belushi 9 Posted July 30, 2006 The one I liked best was Eric Johnson of SF for Lelie. SF doesn't need Johnson with Davis around, and SF could use the help at WR. No idea if it will happen, but it made sense to me. Denver likes to use their TE, but don't have any great pass-catchers on their roster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jdchris81 1 Posted July 30, 2006 The big rumor in cleveland is that the browns were sending W. Green to Denver for Lelie. The thing about this is the browns and denver have a very good relationship when is comes to trades and swaping players that have lost there role with the team and/or are no longer needed!

I do not live in Cleveland, but I do live in Ohio and this is the first I have heard about this. I seriously doubt the Browns want this headache. They just signed Jurevicious and Edwards is ahead of schedule on his rehab. Add Northcutt, Jackson, and the rookie, why would they want Lelie? It absolutely makes no sense at all.

cyeaser 3 Posted July 30, 2006 Ashley Lelie, WR DEN News: The Chicago Sun-Times reports that the Broncos have offered Chicago WR Ashley Lelie in exchange for RB Thomas Jones. The Bears brass, namely GM Jerry Angelo and head coach Lovie Smith, wouldn't respond to the trade talk. Lelie has been rumored to be heading to a number of places, and is currenly on the reserved/did not report list for Denver, so it looks like the Broncos could move him. Analysis: The Broncos traded for Javon Walker this offseason, pushing Lelie to a No. 3 role. The lanky speedster posts a tremendous yards-per-catch average and could be effective as a deep threat with any NFL club. If he stays in Denver, his statistics will be noticeably smaller because of a diminishing role with the team. If he goes elsewhere, though, he could be valued as high as a low-end No. 2 Fantasy WR. He should only be taken as a late-round flier in all drafts at this point. per cbssportsline Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bgard72 10 Posted July 31, 2006 Guys...I'll be honest. I haven't seen much of Lelie. I am a Bears fan and would like to get something for T Jones, instead of just losing him. Lelie had 1000 yards receiving and 7 TD's 2 years ago, and last year he had 700 yards receiving with 1 TD last year. Does this guy have talent and the skills to be a good #2 WR, with the possibility of being a #1? I know he's 6'3...and I have heard that he is fast. Would a change of scenery be good for him and might he perform well for another team? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would a change of scenery be good for him and might he perform well for another team? He's fast as gossip, but not a particularly good route runner. Also not a guy that's ever ging to catch anything across the middle of the field. Add to that the fact that he produced nothing last year and wants to be treated/paid like a #1 and you see the headache this kid can be. It's my understanding that the Bears have a young WR (maybe a kid that sat last year?) that Grossman has described as 'the fastest WR he's ever thrown to'. Sorry I can't come up with the name. Read in TSN a few weeks ago how he was tearing it up in workouts. Any help from any homers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Read in TSN a few weeks ago how he was tearing it up in workouts. Any help from any homers? Well...I am a Bears fan. He was either talking about Bernard Berrian or Mark Bradley. Bradley was the rookie last year that tore his ACL. He looks promising. This is Berrian's 3rd year now...he was the guy that David Carr would light it up to at Fresno State. These 2 guys are promising, but they haven't done it yet in the NFL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
