The Denver Broncos opened up free agency re-signing a starter on defense, cutting two players, along with showing interest in some free agents. On top of all that, a current Bronco made a strong statement that should have all Bronco fans happy.

The Denver Broncos were able to solidify their defense Tuesday, as Kevin Vickerson signed a two-year deal with the Broncos. The veteran defensive tackle has played a vital role in the defense, and he will continue to help out in 2013.
As for the downside, fans will not see D.J. Williams in a Bronco uniform anymore, as he was released by the team on Monday. Along with Williams, the Broncos also released backup quarterback Caleb Hanie. Williams could be a key loss, as he lead the team in tackles five seasons.
According to NFL.com, the Broncos are interested in a couple guys that they might pursue in the world of free agency, and they have set up visits with four players. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Rashard Mendenhall, Terrance Knighton, and Stewart Bradley are all free agents that the Broncos apparently have interest in. Rodgers-Cromartie could be a decent cornerback for the team, and I am still convinced the Broncos need to replace Champ Bailey for next season. Mendenhall is a solid running back who never really got a chance to start completely in Pittsburgh, and when he was actually given one, the 25-year old collected two 1,000 yard seasons. Knighton has an old connection with Jack Del Rio which could land him on the team as a defensive linemen, and Bradley could be a good special teams player/backup linebacker if they are able to scoop him up.

Maybe the biggest news of it all though is that Elvis Dumervil came out and said Tuesday that he is willing to take a pay cut to stay on the Broncos. The news is big to Broncos fans, because had Dumervil not taken a pay cut, he would be looking for a new team in 2013. The team has already said they would have most likely released him if he refused to take one, which is why this is big news.
