They break the news that Martellus Bennett has been traded to the New England Patriots. They talk about the acquisition of Mark Sanchez, who Chad Brown thinks is a backup at best, saying that the Broncos could use Sanchez to break in a rookie.

D-Mac says he doubts the Broncos can use Mark Sanchez to trade for Colin Kaepernick. Big Al argues that a solid system can rejuvenate a QB. They close the show talking about the development of the LA Rams’ future stadium, and Big Al asks if the sunny weather in LA will draw in more free agents.
