Broncos have apparently said they can't afford Te'o...

How could they possibly have had the money for Smith then? Where has the money gone? Are they going for another star player and that's why they can't afford him?

It has left a few questions..

It's probably just code for "we don't want him so we are being polite and making up an excuse".

We were apparently offering Smith a boatload (pardon the pun) or maybe it was rubbish and just to fire up McCullough, fair enough some of it goes to upgrades but we still have cap space left.

They are just saying that they don't want to get near the reported 650k offer that Te'o is getting from the Warriors. which is poised to turn down anyway.

or they have allocated the money for more signings (and re-signings) for 2015, and a back rower is not in their plans

That's be it. They can't afford.... to spend that money on that player.

They said the don't have money for teo, not that they don't have money

In other words, we have money but we aren't paying 600k plus for a fucking backrower when we already have too many

If we had a million a year to spend on Smith we would have the money to match it, he is just not worth that much with the backrowers we have.

The broncs wouldn't pay Widdop 600k even when we needed a 5/8.......... why would they pay 600k for a backrower when we have plenty of them.
