Good Luck with that Denver. He will probably shine now outside of the Cleveland Haze.

Good trade from both sides IMO.

Love Hillis but he just wasn't used right. He will do well in Cleveland.

Any idea what the conditional picks are?

Re: Brady Quinn Traded to Denver

No idea, yet. I'd imagine they'll be 2011 picks, though.

I absolutely love getting Hillis, though. He'll look great paired with Harrison.

Yeah I'm very happy we got Hillis. Hopefully the picks are for this year. Just load up on them, lol

I could be wrong but the fact that they are conditional means they can't be for this year.

They would have to be conditional based on either Quinns performance or the Broncos' performance.

Well then load up for next year, hah. We've already got a ton this year. Lots of new blood

Re: Brady Quinn Traded to Denver

Merged these two threads.

I think Kehlis is right about the conditional picks...

I'll take it.

Pretty much Hillis for Quinn, and as much as I love Hillis, and under no normal circumstances would I swap him for Quinn, the way he was used last year and was likely to be used (or not at all used) this year, it pretty much is a low risk move for the Broncos.

Will Quinn start over Orton? I can't imagine why but...who knows?

Yea, I don't see why he would, but at the very least there is more competition and you never know. They really don't have anything to lose as McD had no intention to use Hillis for anything more than special teams.

Re: Brady Quinn Traded to Denver

Good trade for both sides. Assuming Holmgren installs a more West Coast oriented attack in Cleveland, a versatile player like Hillis would be perfect. McDaniels seems to be pretty good at getting production out of minimally talented QBs like Matt Cassell, Kyle Orton, and Brady Quinn. If they can somehow keep Brandon Marshall, Quinn might actually show promise if he plays.

Re: Brady Quinn Traded to Denver

If Brady Quinn was smart, he would take this trade as a slap in the face and work his *** off to improve his game. I mean, a first round QB being traded for a FB (no offense to Peyton Hillis)? That should get the message across to him.
