Fellas, it's HOT off "the Gridiron Newsstand"! Hear it from the "horses'" mouths for yourselves:

The speculation, at least in the piece in the Denver Post, is that he might go to Seattle to rejoin with Mike Holmgren. It said that Shanahan "excused" him from his contract. So, does that mean he is free to move on to another coaching position without the Broncos' receiving any compensation?  I just cannot believe that. Wouldn't the Broncos be due something from the team that signs him? Bottom line, what's up with this? And, taking a step back, what do you guys think about the resignation, in general?

It wasn't stated like it was new news, it was stated like
"Oh, I HEARD he was reuniting with Holgren!!"
I read the articles. I am not THAT stupid...

Here is the latest on the Ray Rhodes situation, from the Broncos perspective at least:

http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/broncos/article/0,1299,DRMN_17_166 9935,00.html.
Here is a bit of a harangue from the Denver Post that covers Rhodes's departure as well as some other of the Broncos' pressing issues including that of QB Brian Griese:

This is just the next step in what appears to be a complete collapse of my beloved Broncos.
Our problems started before the season began with all the talk of Griese losing the starting job and we just never seemed to recover. If Rhodes is signed by another team, we had better get proper compensation.
While their defenses have been decent more years than not, I don't associate the Broncos as a strong defensive team. It's not their history. Outside the Orange Crush era, offense is where it is at for Denver. That points to the front office and their strengths and weaknesses as where the problem is. Ray Rhodes with the proper authority, again, speculation only on my part, would be a fine defensive coordinator.
