The Broncos have taken a break from signing free agents from other teams to keep one of their own.

Per a league source, defensive lineman Kenny Peterson has agreed to terms with the club on a three-year deal.

Peterson, a six-year veteran, was a third-round pick of the Packers in 2003. He was cut by Green Bay in September 2006, and has spent the last three seasons with the Broncos.

Honz beat me to it, Mods please delete.

I beat you by a couple seconds.

He's the one guy I could live with resigning... 3-4 run-stopping DE.

Good I like Peterson, I'm glad they have re-signed him.

Looking at this I would think that we draft maybe one DE. We've got Field, Peterson, Thomas, Powell, Crowder. It looks to me like they're going to focus on NT, and LB in the draft.

If SA has his way that one defensive end will be Tyson Jackson.

Now we need some pass rushing outside backers.

U know it. I like this signing. If nothing else, he is depth to go w/ Reid and of course Tyson Jackson.

DT Peterson re-signs with Broncos


The Broncos have agreed to a three-year contract with defensive tackle Kenny Peterson.

Peterson is the first — and likely the only — of the Broncos' unrestricted free agents to return to the team for 2009.

"We're real happy," Peterson's agent, Joel Segal, said. "Kenny wanted to be back."

Peterson, at 6-foot-3 and 300 pounds, should be able to fit into the Broncos' new 3-4 defensive scheme.

Peterson played in all 16 games for the Broncos last season and started one. He made 23 solo tackles and three sacks.

Peterson also has a history with new coach Josh McDaniels, dating back to when they both played on the same high school team in Canton, Ohio, though they were separated by several grades. Peterson also played high school football with McDaniels' younger brother, Ben, who recently was hired as an offensive assistant coach for the Broncos.

I think that re-signing Kenny was a good move. IMO he can be a gametime DE in a 3-4, not great, but solid.

Good signing, solid depth. Peterson was one of the few guys on the DL last season that actually showed a motor.
