Arizona Cardinals cornerback Jeff Gladney died in a car accident early Monday morning near downtown Dallas, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported, per Gladney's agent. He was 25 years old.

Once at the scene deputies found two vehicles wrecked and two people dead. Officials later confirmed that it was a male and a female in one of the cars that died in the accident -- their names won't be released until they are positively identified and next of kin is notified.

Investigators say their preliminary information indicates one vehicle was speeding and clipped the second vehicle from behind. The speeding vehicle lost control and hit the pier beam of the Woodall Rogers Freeway. The second vehicle was also occupied by two people but neither was seriously injured.

Marion Barber III also passed away recently. No official word yet, but the word around here (he is from the Twin Cities area and played for the Gophers) is that he was having well-documented struggles with mental illness and had withdrawn from interacting with long-time acquaintances.

Far from official right now. Still three more bids out and not due until 3.

Walton may end up being the winner but according to all Den bear writers it’s far from official.

Seems kind of wild that they fired and hired a coach knowing they were about to sell the team. There already isnt much job security for NFL coaches so I’m sure this staff will be on a short leash.

Can't stop operating the team for months because a sale is in progress. Certainly that is a context to consider for anyone in that organization, but day to day there's work to be done.

Everyone in Denver has known the team was going to be sold for 2 years. The GM picked the coach, not the board/trust/ownership
