Wonder if this means one less defensive player suspended half or all of the season???

True Dat. Hopefully for him, he won't be one of the soon to be suspended players. Maybe that is why he only got a one year contract.

BINGO. I figure the Broncos know he is on the short list that will likely get a suspension, or is in danger of it... If he does get one, he will appeal it, drag the process out, play most or all of next season, then end up signing a different deal once the terms of the suspension are known more clearly. I know the Saints were moving in a different direction, but the possibility of a looming suspension probably has something to do with why the Saints didn't pursue him with a bigger/longer deal, as well. It certainly made sense for the Saints not to throw a lot of money at him right now.
