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.

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. [Reply]

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. [Reply]

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. [Reply]
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. [Reply]

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. [Reply]

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. [Reply]
