Broncos Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
<p><p>The Denver Broncos already lost quarterback Jay Cutler this offseason, so dealing another Pro Bowl offensive player is far from ideal. Receiver Brandon Marshall wants to be dealt, but the Broncos don't appear in a rush to accommodate that wish. </p>
<p>That could lead to more drama for a team that has had its share this offseason. Marshall could hold out of training camp, creating a distraction. </p>
<p>Marshall would also fall behind in learning the new offense and working with new quarterback Kyle Orton, which would hurt the team on the field. Marshall hasn't practiced at all this offseason because of hip surgery. </p> <p>Broncos coach Josh McDaniels said he's willing to go with the receivers that are willing to play for him, which he might have to do if Marshall digs in and doesn't...

Garcia has no plans to be No.2 in Oakland (Yahoo! Sports)
Jeff Garcia didn't sign with the Oakland Raiders to be the No.2 quarterback behind JaMarcus Russell.
Raiders Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
<p><p>The acquisition of free agent defensive end Greg Ellis, who was instantly installed as the starter on the left side during his first practice, further clouded the status of incumbent Derrick Burgess.</p>
<p>Coach Tom Cable maintains Ellis' arrival and Burgess' status are separate issues. He concedes there was some discussion about Burgess before the draft but that there has been none recently.</p>
<p>Getting Ellis, he said, was simply a chance to add another quality player.</p>
<p>There are good arguments for keeping Burgess around through the final year of a five-year contract. Although his sack numbers of dwindled each season—from 16 to 11 to 8 to 4.5—he could still serve a valuable function as a pass rusher and could conceivably stay healthier with reduced snaps.</p>...
