Broncos sign Brian Dawkins to five-year deal
NFL.com’s Adam Schefter is reporting that the Broncos have reached a deal with free agent safety Brian Dawkins (Eagles) on a five-year, $17 million contract with $7.2 million guaranteed.
Denver signs free agent safety Brian Dawkins to a five-year, $17 million deal that includes $7.2 million guaranteed. The contract also has escalators that could boost the value of the deal to $27 million over five years, but the deal also could be voided to two years, $9 million.
Considering Dawkins is already 35 years old, chances are the two-year deal will be the one that comes into play. But even at 35, Dawkins has always remained in fantastic shape and the Broncos landed a true veteran leader. He’s always been one of the classier players in the league and here’s hoping he has a few more productive years left in him.
It’s going to be weird not seeing Dawkins in a Philadelphia uniform next season.

AFC West RB’s better hope Brian Dawkins’ hearing problem gets better or they’ll be taking hits after the whistle like NFC East backs have taken all these years. Dawkins never saw a tackled RB that he didn’t love to hit.
Dawkins is a physical player.
He is a player who plays through the whistle.
Good pickup for the Broncos, atleast leader ship
and on the field presence is there.
There are physical players who don’t hit after the whistle. The guy is a cheap shot artist…always has been.
I dont know about cheap shot artist.
Thats Jarrad Allen. Dawkins flies and leaves his feet. Hard to stop when your in air.
This league is getting to be a powderpuff one.
