DeMarcus Wate is back with Broncos on restructured contract #9news #9sports

With Ware back, Broncos will once again have four impact edge rushers they can rotate. Phenomenal depth at a premium position.

But the core of Denver's No. 1 defense was pass rushers and cover corners. All are back in 2016. #9news #9sports

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Ware agreed to reduce his base salary from $10 million to $6.5 million. Of the amount, $4 million is fully guaranteed, which means he most likely won’t have to worry about being cut on the eve of the start of the regular season.

Ware, who turns 34 in July, can earn the $3.5 million back by registering sacks, in a formula that starts with eight and ends at 13.

Ware and his representatives believed that he’d earn $10 million or more this year on the open market, but Ware didn’t want to change teams two years after leaving the Cowboys. Also, the reduction in pay is fair for both sides because he’ll now be on a reduced pitch count, with a target of roughly 35 snaps per game.

So it’s a win-win for both sides, keeping Ware in Denver and giving him a fair chance to make every penny he was previously due to make, with the extra $3.5 million being pushed into next year’s cap calculations.

Too bad you couldn't bring your hero Brock Roethlesberger back.

Cool Knowmo. You still have a ton of holes to fill, while we're just building more depth throughout our roster at this point.

The Chiefs aren't any better than they were last year. Losing Sean Smith and not having an adequate replacement killed any shot the Chiefs had at winning the division this year.

Elway is the only GM in the league with the balls to do what he just did with Brock. Obviously Elway has something else in mind and I'm sure Chiefs fans aren't going to be happy with Elway's decision.

Broncos lose Jackson, Trevathan, Manning, Brock, Vasquez, Harris, Mathis, CJ, Hillman etc.

"No worries we'll be fine"

Chiefs lose Sean Smith.

"There goes your chances of winning the division"

W/8 sacks, Ware gets $1.25M (total of $7.75M); 9.5 sacks, he gets $2.5M ($9M); 11 sacks, he gets $3M ($9.5M); 13 sacks, he gets $3.5M ($10M)

Nice job of throwing in players we don't need to make it look like we have all of these "holes to fill" but you're full of shit.

Whether you "need" them or not is irrelevant. Most of those guys were starters at one point or another. A hole is a hole. That's a lot of turnover and ruins the continuity.

You Broncos fans arrogance is unbelievable. Your defense might've won it for you, but every one of those guys had in impact in a season where you were one loss away from losing the division and the Super Bowl.

We have people in house already who can replace those guys. All we need is a QB and we'll be ready to go. Our offense should be much better than it was last year.

You guys have nobody to replace Sean Smith. You still need two more QUALITY corners and you don't have the cap space/draft picks to get them.

Yeah, actually it is irrelevant. It's not that big of a deal that you have no clue about the Bronco roster. I wouldn't expect you to have a deep knowledge of somebody else's team. But you're still full of just as much shit as KnowMo is on this.

So far so good for Chiefs fans. Denver is having a dreadful offseason. You know it's bad when your biggest acquisition thus far has been Mark Sanchez.

Nah, you're just an arrogant moron.
