Denver Broncos Free Agents To Let Go
This is a list of Denver Broncos free agents that I feel they should not sign back for the 2012 season.
Marcus Thomas-
He has been a bust since day one when he was drafted in the 4th round of the 2007 draft. He was projected a 1st rounder, but fell to the 4th round after some character issues at Florida. He did play in almost all the games this season and recorded 43 tackles and no sacks. The only way we keep him is if we’re in desperate need on the defensive line, which we may be. He was payed $1 million in 2011.
Brian Dawkins-
He is 38 and has played in 16 NFL seasons. He does however have a little left in the tank, especially in run support. He is still a leader in the secondary. He is on this list only if injuries linger in the offseason and if he’s not willing to play for less than the $6 million he played for this season. He recorded 51 tackles, 3 sacks, and forced a fumble in 2011.
Mario Haggan-
He started in 1 game and played in all 16 games, but only managed to record 23 tackles. He is a decent utility LB who can play all LB positions. He is one that if the money is right I may would try to keep. He was paid $1.9 million last season.
Derrick Harvey-
He’s a DE that came over from Jacksonville this season when Jacksonville gave up on him after drafting him in 2008 in the 1st round. He played in parts of 5 games and managed 4 tackles and 0 sacks. He just hasn’t produced.
Brady Quinn-
Lets face it; if your starting QB had to be Brady Quinn because of injury how would you feel about your chances for the playoffs? Denver must cut him and find a more capable starter to push QB Tim Tebow. Quinn made $700K last season.
Dante Rosario-
He started in 3 games and played in 14 while he recorded 7 receptions for 117 yards. He was brought over when his former coach at Carolina, John Fox came to Denver. He was supposed to help as a passing threat, but that didn’t happen and fellow TE Daniel Fells is a more balanced TE. We need to let him go.
Jonathan Wilhite-
He was signed mostly because of some injuries at the corner position. He is a below average option at the position. He did however manage 2 sacks and an INT, but he’s not worth keeping.
Wesley Woodyard-
Wesley is a LB who started in 7 games and played in 15. He is 25 and has 4 years of experience. He recorded 97 tackles and 2 fumbles forced. This is why I think his asking price may go up. He may see himself as a starter and want to get paid like one. If not and he’s willing to be reasonable I say keep him.
