2. DeMarcus Ware
Age At Signing: 31 Contract: 3 years / $30 million ($20 million guaranteed)
Best Season Before Denver: 84 total tackles; 20 sacks; 2 forced fumbles (2008, Cowboys)
Best Season In Denver: 45 total tackles; 10 sacks; 1 interceptions; 2 forced fumbles (2014)
What he’s done: Now we’re getting to the old guys. DeMarcus Ware clearly isn’t the player he was back in his Dallas days, but he’s still one of the best to ever do it, as evidenced by his playoff performance last season.
More than anything, though, Ware earned every penny he got for his ability to mentor Von Miller. Nobody can say for sure where Miller’s career would have gone had Ware never come to Denver, but I believe even he would admit that he never would have ended up where he is today.
And on the field, if all Ware ever did for the Broncos was dominate the 2015 AFC Championship Game and Super Bowl like he did, I think Broncos Country would take it.
