Update: 04.09.06 – Bill Williamson, of the Denver Post, reports on rumor making the rounds is the Denver Broncos trading WR Ashley Lelie. Two teams mentioned as potential destinations are the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers. At this point all of the talk is just that, talk. It’s unclear if there is any connection between this talk and Lelie’s decision to skip the first week of the Broncos’ offseason workout program to work out on his own in Arizona. Bill Williamson also reports another rumor making the rounds is the Denver Broncos packaging their No. 15 and No. 22 picks in the first round of the NFL Draft to move up to No. 5 (Green Bay) or No. 6 (San Francisco) to take Maryland TE Vernon Davis, whose football ability, size and speed make him an off-the-charts NFL prospect.

02.11.06 - Sacramento Bee is reporting that Niners VP of Player Personnel Scot McCloughan said there was ‘no truth’ to an Internet rumor the 49ers were considering trading a first-day draft pick to the Denver Broncos for receiver Ashley Lelie.
02.09.06 —There is a new rumor in Ninerland, this one involving Broncos wide receiver Ashley Lelie. Orangemane.com is reporting that if the Broncos land Terrell Owens, they are going to shop around Ashley Lelie. It was reported that two teams were interested, the 49ers and the Falcons. Lelie is not that interested in playing in Atlanta for ‘unspecified’ reasons, but would love to play in California to be closer to his family. This is all based upon the Broncos actually getting TO, and as of right now is a rumor.
