Turry 755 Posted July 21, 2011 Brian Dawkins confirmed that he will take a paycut to return to the Broncos this season."When I signed this deal I knew what it was," Dawkins said. "It was basically a two-year deal. I knew after a couple years there was a balloon (mechanism) and we most likely would have to restructure. That's no big deal to me." Dawkins earned a $3.76 million escalator that the Broncos don't want to pay. Expect the 37-year-old's salary $6 million salary to be halved.

"I will not miss a day of practice." Royal is expected to resume kickoff- and punt-return duties this year, though his offensive role remains unclear. The Broncos won't run nearly as many three-receiver sets, so it's important for his fantasy value to beat out Jabar Gaffney and Eric Decker opposite Brandon Lloyd. Source: Denver Post Knowshon Moreno is down to 200 pounds after playing the past two seasons between 208 and 212."He looks less than that," writes Mike Klis of the Denver Post. Moreno was at 217 at the 2009 Combine, so this isn't a minor change. The weight loss would make sense if Moreno is truly headed for a third-down role, but he didn't tip his hand on that issue. "I've just been working out hard," Moreno said. "Real hard. I haven't tried to lose weight or anything." Source: Denver Post Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
