Broncos, Moreno are far apart in talks as camp kicks off

"Call him fast. Call him talented. Call him soon-to-be wealthy. And beginning today, people can call him No-Show Moreno. The Broncos will open training camp today without their No. 1 draft pick, Knowshon Moreno. The team and its rookie running back are so far apart in contract negotiations, Moreno will wake up today in his college home state of Georgia. No sense rushing to Denver when a new contract isn't imminent. The Broncos are further along in negotiations with their second first-round choice, outside linebacker Robert Ayers. Still, the two sides would have had to work through Thursday night to keep Ayers from joining Moreno as the Broncos' first rookie holdouts since 2004. "I want to be there, but it's part of the

business," Ayers said Thursday. "About all I can say is both sides are working hard to try to get everything done, but . . . I don't have any predictions." Meanwhile, 78 other Broncos players will brace for the two-a-day opening of training camp at the team's Dove Valley practice facility, where the goal, besides making it to Saturday, is to secure a spot on the season- opening, 53-man roster. This year, the Broncos are going old school. They will arrive early - the first workout session today starts at 8:45 a.m. And they will leave late - their second practice is scheduled to end at 7:30 p.m. Then again, for each morning-night doubleheader, there are days with no morning practices - 10 of each."
