The Facts: If Lelie wants to stay away from Broncos training camp -- players report Thursday for their first mandatory meeting -- he will have to commit far more of his wallet to do it. Previously, the maximum daily fine for missing a mandatory training camp day was $6,000. That now is reportedly rising to $14,000 a day. So, if Lelie stays away for the days the Broncos practice or play before their Aug. 19 preseason game, it would cost him $294,000. That total balloons to more than $600,000 if he stays away for the entire preseason.
Diehards Line:Facing the new rules (quietly agreed to by the NFLPA in recent days), agent Peter Schaffer said his client still was undecided about whether he would report on time. Schaffer still is actively pursuing trade partners for the Broncos in an attempt to find Lelie a new team, saying he was trying to work toward a "more positive solution." So far nobody seems interested -- at least at the current asking price (a first- or second-round draft pick). Stay tuned.
