Perhaps unwittingly, the NFLPA didn’t make a whole lot of friends among the franchise players in the league with last week’s letter to commissioner Roger Goodell seeking an investigation of New Orleans’ negotiations with “exclusive” franchise quarterback Drew Brees.

Jim Kelly questions Tebow’s fit with Jets

Demaryius Thomas has been a wide receiver in the NFL for two years now, and evidently hasn’t spent a lot of time learning to run routes. I guess it’s not all that necessary when you’re watching for Kyle Orton or Tim Tebow to deliver you the football. Via Sports Radio Interviews, Thomas told 790 The Zone in Atlanta that now that Peyton Manning is in town, the Denver receivers are going to have to bone up on their route tree a little bit . “To get to play with a future Hall of Famer, I knew I had to step my game up and get in my book more, run routes more, because I never really ran routes much. So I thought it was gonna be a challenge, and it has been so far. But it’s been good, too.” “You’re gonna have to run the whole route tree now. The comebacks, the slants, the posts, the ins. And I didn’t have to do that much when I was my first couple of years in the league.” Wow. Two years in the league, and he “never really ran routes much”? What were Broncos practices like before Peyton Manning? Everyone splits into their individual groups, and the receivers all run over to the receivers coach and ask, “Hey coach, what are we working on today?” And then the receivers coach looks over and sees Tim Tebow launching footballs into the fourth row and says, “I really don’t think it matters, boys.”
