Denver's newly acquired cornerback, Dre Bly, is unhappy about being sent to the Mile High city. Several individuals close to the situation and Bly have stated that he wanted to be sent to the Washington Redskins. The Redskins were reportedly willing to offer Bly a new contract, as the Broncos were not willing to work out a new deal with him having one-year left worth $4.2 million. Bly is from Chesapeake, VA and wanted the new contract from the Redskins.
Now to turn the page, cornerback Shaun Springs has been unwilling to restructure his contract with the Redskins and is due $6.8 million this year followed by $7.3 million in 2008. Springs was to be sent to the Lions for Bly prior to the Denver-Detriot deal. Now, Springs may be willing to relinquish several million in deferred money to facilitate his trade or release from the team.
It is notable that the Redskins and Broncos have a history of trading players, as was the case of Portis-Bailey trade.
