DeMarcus Ware signs deal with Broncos
A day after his release from the Dallas Cowboys, DeMarcus Ware has signed with the Denver Broncos, reports ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The deal, a three-year, $30 million contract with $20 million guaranteed, is pending a physical.
Ware, 31, missed the first games of his NFL career — three in total — as the Cowboys gasped to yet another 8-8 season last year. In total, Ware tallied just six sacks (his lowest total ever) while dealing with elbow, back and quadriceps issues.
This is just the latest free agency splash for the Broncos, who have also signed S T.J. Ward and CB Aqib Talib. Clearly, with Peyton Manning’s career winding down, Denver executive V.P. John Elway has fully embraced the “Win now” approach. Ward, Talib and Ware will earn a combined $60 million in guaranteed money, which could bind Elway’s hands in relation to the salary cap two or three years from now.
For the 2014 season, though, Denver may have a defense that can hold its own in concert with its record-setting offense. The three players signed within the first 24 hours of free agency will join Von Miller (off a season shortened by injury and suspension), Terrance Knighton and others on what has the makings of a dominant unit.

I'm surprised El Supremo was not all over this one. The question is whether he can stay healthy for the entire season.
