Denver signed former Patriots wide receiver Jabar Gaffney to a four-year, $10 million deal that includes $3 million guaranteed. Former Miami safety Renaldo Hill signed a matching four-year, $10 million deal that includes $3 million guaranteed. Now Denver has two more players that McDaniels knows well.

Vilma back to Saints

Ron Bartell is expected to sign with the Saints. Gerald Sensabaugh and Khalif Barnes will also be visiting. Sensabaugh will be in town tomorrow, not sure about Barnes.

From what I am hearing, it is likely that both Bartell and Sensabaugh will be leaving in black and gold tomorrow afternoon. Which would make the Saints contenders, IMO.

Take it for what it is worth, but my inside source works for the Saints and is 4/4 these past two years.

The free agent, who had eight tackles and a sack in the Super Bowl, didn't take long to gush about playing opposite No. 1 pick Mario Williams.
