This offseason, the Broncos booted Jones and Traylor. Each decision had an element of cruelty. But, more important, it had one of logic. Much as they appreciated what each of the players had done, the Broncos were more concerned with paying players on the basis of what they were going to do. Most veterans do not like it.
Some fans complain about it.
But nobody can ignore it. Right here in Denver, the Broncos have a Machiavellian Mastermind running their organization. He takes care of his players as long as they produce for him, and moves on when they cannot. It is the way, unfortunately, it hasto be. Good men are placed in bad situations.
