RIP Darrent Williams.

The stuff humans do to each other...

[Windy]

RIP


I cant believe it. One of my favorite players even if he was a bronco.

RIP

[jmanz]

terrible situation....so much life left to live and a great player. Very sad.

[PanteraMunKy]

R.I.P. D-Will One of my favorite O-State Players of all time, the Broncos lost one hell of a playmaker. He was going 2 be great

[Jimmy]

Will the Broncos get an form compensation pick for Darrent.?

[MichaelJordanEberle (sabf)]

I dunno, I would think not, or if anything, a third rounder or later.

This opens up a big hole in the secondary, Darrent was most likely going to progress and be suitable for next year, so the Broncos could address DL and maybe even pick up a RB. Now they're in the market for good DL and CB, which makes it very difficult when you're drafting where they're drafting.

[RaiderNation]

damn this sucks that he died. he was very good player and will be missed. it also opens up a huge hole for u guys cuz he was a top 15 CB in my opinion

[M]

I suspect that with Pat Bowlen's role on the NFL TV contracts we will get a third round pick as compensation, near the end of the third round however.

I was thinking Safety or RB (how many times were they inside the 5 and had nobody that could punch it in), with first round pick. Now I suspect that it is either a free agent or a high pick in first round (or package 3rd round from washington and compensatory pick to move up a few spots in first round) for CB as what we have is not the answer to play opposite Champ.

This will also likely quash the rumor that we were shopping Lynch.

no but my guess is he got in an argument in the club or something

[M]

I believe he was at Safari for Kenyon Martins invitatin only party for his birthday and an argument occurred. Whether Williams was involved in argument, and with whom, has not been clarified. Witnesses from the club are being interviewed. The only other Bronco player they have announced was in the vehicle was Javon Walker and he was not injured but who else was in the limo was not yet announced. Apparently white Suburban pulled beside them and fired automatic weapon at car. The rest is not being told.

RIP D.WIlliams

I was really high on his talent, its to bad that his life was cut so short with so much to live.

You guys do have Dominique Foxworth? Last year, him and D.Williams as rookies did a very good job IMO.Could he be a possible replacement or would a CB in the 1st or 2nd be best?

[rickscott]

I saw last week where LT of the Chargers said that there isn't anything good that can happen by me going out to a club at night....It's too bad every single NFL player doesn't think that way.

[Namy]

RIP Darrent. I can't believe it had to end this way. Death happens to everyone, but it's unfair to happen at the age of 24. As much as this is devastating to me, how much more will this affect our team? I was upset about our loss last night, but obviously his death rightfully puts things into perspective. I only hope that losing against SF has no correlation to this event.

that was my first thought this morning.

[slightlyaraiderfan]

I was in shocked when I heard about Darrent, RIP.

[Jimmy]

i think that the broncos should wear #27 stickers on their helmets, and dedicate next season to him. i have no clue what the organization's plans are yet, and the thing that scares me the most about it is that darrent died in JAvon Walkers lap, with brandon marshall in the car too

[MichaelJordanEberle (sabf)]

Nice sig, Jimmy, I'm guessing by the line under it I can use it too? Let me know if I can't.

[njx9]

clearly one of you saw it, but if you haven't, www.denverbroncos.com put up a nice tribute/memorial page.

Most those pictures reminded me of how much the team loved Darrent.
Champ was his role model the past years.The relationship him and Dominique had coming in as rookies and competing against each other yet still being great friends off the field.I remember John Lynch commenting on how Darrent was instantly respected when he laid out a runningback during practice.

[njx9]

and all the big hits he had last year on blitzes... i still think we used him wrong all season this year. i'll miss that intensity.

[elway777]

I remember being upset when we drafted Darrent Williams in the 2nd because I wanted Justin Miller.

What's too bad is that he HAS to think that way. There is absolutely no rational reason a professional athlete, or anyone for that matter, should have to think twice about going to a club, but, unfortunately, the reality is that these incidents are happening more and more frequently and people have to take their personal safety into consideration when they're going out. It's such a tragic loss, but to say DW shouldn't have put himself in that situation is ridiculous.

[T-RICH49]

I don't care what team you root for this is a tragedy and I hope the scumbag who did this is caught and kill him like he had no problem killing Darrent.RIP Darrent Williams
