Now that Elvis Dumervil is gone, the Broncos can choose between Dwight Freeny and John Abraham if they go with a defensive end in free agency. They could also look for one in the draft, but I think the Broncos front office is leaning towards free agency.
Dwight Freeny had a down year last year, mustering only 5 sacks in 13 starts. He only had 8.5 the year before. He will be 33 years old this season which is ancient for a pass rusher who has not performed well over the past two seasons. I hope the Broncos take a flyer on this signing.
Abraham is older, but more effective. He had 10 sacks in 14 starts last season and 6 forced fumbles. However, he will be 35 next season so he could drop off at any point. I think he would be a more effective signing than Freeny and I would like for the Broncos to make him an offer.
Neither of these guys are better than Dumervil at rushing the passer and they are both much older. Abraham would be the most logical signing, but the long term solution at defensive end for the Broncos is in the draft.
