Jason Elam

I found out Saturday night that Jason Elam is now a Falcon. It pains me to write this. Elam has been in Denver for 15 years. The only player in Bronco history to play more years was Elway (16 years). Altanta is giving him 5.11m over two years guaranteed (four year total contract) and devner was offering 2m for one year (three year contract).

Elam grew up in Snellville, GA. He is literally going home to end his career. Good for him. I wish him nothing but the best. It will be so weird seeing him in a jersey other than the Broncos. Next stop for him will be Canton.

Tom Nalen is still on the team (not for too much longer). Rod Smith was hurt all last year and will probably retire but his wheels are gone. Those two are the last players with superbowl rings from superbowl 33.

For winning back to back championships, I give the Broncos 10 years without criticism. This is year number 10. Shannahan needs to spread the responsibility around and stop spreading himself too thin. Until he does this, the Broncos will not be doing much.
