Free agent DE Vonnie Holliday is scheduled to visit with the Broncos this weekend.
Holliday has the size to play end in a 3-4, which the Broncos will need if reports of Le Kevin Smith's torn meniscus are true. Holliday could help early in the season as a rotational lineman.

Figured I'd share it. :elefant:

Not bad. :salute:

I suspect that there is not much left in that tank.. if he is a FA still and 31 other teams passed on him.. well I'd rather have crowder .. or pedeuzxcauaaau

yea, we did. . . and because of that, i'm guessing that he'll be signed this time-- i can't imagine we'd bring him in a second time just to do another workout. . .

he's older than dirt, but at least he's a smart, tough vet with plenty of experience in the 3-4-- he's probably still a better option than ryan mcbean. . . my expectations of him would be fairly limited, and he's most likely best suited in a rotational role that limits his snaps, but it's not like there's much out there at this point. . .

This looks to me like Simeon Rice 2.0.

lol miami plays a 3-4 he played for them last year in rotation and was effective....he should play the same role le kevin smith was suppose to....a rotational 3-4 DE, pretty simple and the fact we have him scheduled before other teams is a good thing for us....guys his age always prefer to avoid the grind of TC...he should be fresh and ready to give us some depth.....

Why now? The guy has been a free agent for a while. My guess is they are evaluating him and will compare him against who gets cut today. Regardless it's a pretty good bet that we are cutting a couple extra guys today to make room for some DL who get cut today.

Meh, if he is useful and cheap, it's worth a shot. Good lockerroom guy.

Ummm...the haters should keep inmind that the dude is a highly respected vet who basically just wanted to skip camp. That is the reason he is still available.
Ravage!!!

seems he wasn't any good when he was with the Chiefs a few years BACK. Nothing to really expect much out of other than another vet. What I'm confused about, however, is that I don't remember him playing with the Patriots (I joke I joke)

Check the Dolphins boards. They are angry that he was let go due to a roster bonus and want him back. He played very well for them. And remember, a 3-4DE doesn't have to get 12+ sacks. He just has to occupy the OLine and not get pushed around. Dude is legit. A solid pickup if we do get him.

I'm not against signing him. He is a solid and respected DE. I just don't understand why now? Seems like it would have been better to have signed him earlier when Denver first took a look at time. Denver could have gotten a better look at him during camp and the preseason.

With a d-line like ours...we shouldn't be picky.

Thats just it, he thinks he is Michael Strahan and can skip all the camps and preseason and not have to work out. Yea, screw that. The last thing this team needs is some overrated DE to come in and get playing time over the guys who worked their asses off all summer long. But, maybe he can be the water boy. The other workers can use some quality H2O.

If he was that highly thought SA why did the Dolphins let him go and why didn't McDaniels pursue him until now?
