Report: Broncos have a ‘good offer’ on the table for Jerry Jeudy
Star cornerback Pat Surtain is not available for trade, but the Denver Broncos appear open to hearing offers for other players.
Wide receiver Jerry Jeudy is actually the target of a “good offer” from the Broncos, according to a report by Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com. Even though the offer is seen to be “good,” Denver isn’t interested in accepting it just yet.
Obviously, everything could change after Sunday’s Broncos game against the Chiefs. The approaching deadline may prompt action, whether it comes from a team raising its offer or Denver dropping the asking price.
Though it’s a known truth that the Broncos have been considering offers for the receiver for more than a year, Jeudy has played down trade rumors.
Earlier this month, Denver dealt outside linebacker Randy Gregory to the San Francisco 49ers; but, there may be more trades coming. The NFL trade deadline is this Tuesday, October 31, at 2:00 PM MT.
Bob Myers admits leaving one Warriors NBA Finals game in GM tenure
NBC Sports Bay Area first reported Bob Myers’ admission that he skipped one Warriors NBA Finals game during his time as general manager.
Bob Myers, the former general manager of the Warriors, is content with his decision to depart the team and enter the less demanding field of television analysis.
Over his twelve years as the primary roster architect for the Warriors, he experienced a great deal of emotional strain. Almost every game was important.
In an interview with ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski on “The Woj Pod” this week, Myers talked about that.
“There’s a helplessness to it, right?” Myers told Wojnarowski that he was now an NBA analyst for ESPN. “I’m proud that I’ve never… I don’t think I’ve ever quit a game because it was too emotionally taxing in my twelve years. It was probably an Oakland Finals game. Although I’m not proud of it, I’m sure GMs or other individuals could relate. It’s a habit for certain GMs.
“I know Jerry West; it was how he usually handled things. I understood that since I was hired for this job, I would be present in the building through good times and bad. I would like to witness a wonderful event if it occurred, which I was fortunate enough to witness often. I don’t want to go somewhere, like the parking lot, and miss anything amazing that happens—this is why we do it all. In order to avoid suffering if you lose, you must take a chance.
During Myers’ tenure as general manager, the Warriors enjoyed a lot of success. They participated in 34 NBA Finals, including 18 home games (15 at Oracle Arena and 3 at Chase Center).
Myers did not say which Finals game he left, but the Warriors’ matchups with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Toronto Raptors at Oracle Arena produced many tense moments.
For the fans who wonder how Myers could possibly leave an NBA Finals game before the conclusion, he referred to the 2011 “Moneyball” movie, which chronicled the rise of the Oakland Athletics in the early 2000s under then-general manager Billy Beane.
Beane, portrayed by actor Brad Pitt in the movie, was famous for not being able to watch A’s games, and Myers can relate to that mindset.
“That movie is so good at characterizing the life of a general manager,” Myers told Wojnarowski. “When he’s in the car turning his radio on and off. And lot of people watching the movie are probably thinking ‘That isn’t real.’ Ask any general manager in any sport, ‘Is that real? Is that something that happens?’ And it absolutely does.
“When he’s in the weight room and like ‘Text me if anything happens.’ It’s like the torturous way of living and going through it. But there’s nothing like the adrenaline of the job. But certainly that movie was so good at showing an inside life of it.”
Myers now can watch Warriors games as a fan, not as invested in the result of each game as much as he used to be.
For someone who lived and breathed with each outcome, that has to be a huge sense of relief.
