Alliance... » Randy Gradishar shunned yet again by the Hall of Fame

When it comes to the Denver Broncos and the Pro Football Hall of Fame Brendan Langley Jersey , that’s how it works. If you play for the Broncos, no matter how great you were, the only way you’ll get in is if you buy a ticket to the supposed museum in Canton, Ohio, that supposedly honors the greatness of pro football. Yet for some reason, that supposed museum refuses to accept that there were great players who did in fact play in Denver. The most recent example is Randy Gradishar. The Broncos linebacker should already have his bust in the Hall of Fame, and had he played in (enter city here), he would. But yet again, the Seniors Committee – this year it was Ron Borges, Rick Gosselin, Jeff Legwold, Ira Miller and Dan Pompei – continued the snub theme.Rest assured, we’ll hear the same bullshit from these five men that we always hear. You know, “this was a difficult decision” and how “there are so many deserving players” 鈥?blah, blah, blah. Spare us the same old tired excuses. Gradishar is one of the greatest to ever play the game, and the fact these five men can’t/don’t/are unwilling to recognize that is beyond reproach and unacceptable — but not unexpected. Don’t take it from me. Hall of Fame defensive lineman Merlin Olsen:Hall of Fame wide receiver Steve Largent: Let’s add one more powerful quote to highlight how badly they got this wrong yet again.Jim Saccomano told me this last summer for the story I wrote earlier this week: It’s a shame and sham that Gradishar is not in the Hall of Fame. It’s one of the most absurd wrongs in NFL and pro football history. But it’s not unexpected. When you play for the Broncos or own the Broncos, the contributions you made to the game don’t matter. It’s as if they didn’t happen.It’s as if the Broncos don’t exist. ENGLEWOOD Bradley Chubb Jersey , Colo. (AP) — Broncos Pro Bowl long snapper Casey Kreiter signed a one-year, $1 million contract to stay in Denver on Thursday, the same day the team officially released strong safety Darian Stewart.The fourth-year pro from Iowa was set to become a restricted free agent next week.Kreiter became the first long snapper in franchise history to earn a Pro Bowl berth last season after he snapped 146 times (85 punts, 35 extra points, 25 field goals and a fake punt) without an unplayable delivery.Kreiter has appeared in 42 games for the Broncos the last three seasons. An All-Big Ten Conference selection at Iowa, he joined the NFL as a college free agent with Dallas in 2014 and competed in the Cowboys’ training camp in 2014-15 before signing with Denver in 2016.Kreiter’s signing came on the same day Stewart’s release became official.With cornerback Bradley Roby set to move on in free agency, only cornerback Chris Harris Jr. will remain from the famed “No-Fly Zone” secondary that was the backbone of Denver’s Super Bowl season three years ago. The Broncos cut safety T.J. Ward in 2017 and traded cornerback Aqib Talib to the Rams last year.With the Broncos going 11-21 over the last two seasons, Harris said, “every veteran is on a nonguaranteed deal.” In addition to Stewart, linebacker Brandon Marshall has been informed he’s not being retained, and the Broncos are also letting defensive tackle Domata Peko test the open market.Stewart was slated to count $6.37 million against the cap in 2019. The ninth-year pro, who had two years left on his contract, had started 61 games for Denver since 2015, collecting 250 tackles, nine interceptions, 24 pass breakups, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
