A source told Mike Klis of the Denver Post that the Broncos might be a player for Freeney, but that's all contingent if defensive end Elvis Dumervil doesn't take a pay cut. Throw in the fact that former teammate Peyton Manning has been recruiting Freeney, it's almost a lock that he dons orange-and-blue.
Thoguh Freeney is four years older than Dumervil and isn't the force he once was, they will take him if Dumervil doesn't want to take a pay cut. Signing Freeney will help parlay the extra money into a few players to fill needs at different roster spots. They are similar players, so the drop-off shouldn't be too significant.
The Broncos would love for Dumervil to return, but I don't see him being too pleased to a loss in pay. If that's the case, he will indeed leave the Mile-High City.
