It was only 13 months ago that the New York Jets were last in Denver. It seems like far longer than that. Think back with me. The Jets beat the Broncos 23-20 on Oct. 17, 2010 in a game that turned on a late pass interference call on Broncos safety Renaldo Hill, on a deep Hail Mary-type of fourth-down pass. The Jets scored the winning touchdown with a 2-yard run by Bronco-slayer LaDanian...

Denver Broncos vs. New York Jets Week 11 Preview There were very, very few positives to be taken from the Denver Broncos‘ 2010 4-12 campaign. The league’s reigning sack king was lost for the year before the season began, Josh McDaniels brought Patriots-level espionage to the Rocky Mountains, and the Broncos struggled to put a competitive product out on the field any given...

The Patriots have given off a few obvious signs they aren’t happy with their safety situation. They worked out Dashon Goldson, Renaldo Hill, and Darren Sharper during camp.  They haven’t signed any of them, but Shalise Manza Young of the Boston Globe reports the team is “unhappy” with Brandon Meriweather.  (And it has nothing to…

The Patriots brought in a star-studded class of free agents to work out today, including former standout safeties Darren Sharper and Renaldo Hill. My immediate reaction was that it could make life difficult for Brandon Meriweather, who is currently one starter there. A few minutes ago, Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio discussed his thoughts on the workouts, saying...

Despite looking sharp in their first preseason contest, the Patriots have a few holes remaining on their team and, as a result, are set to play host to a trio of veteran players this week.According to Ian Rapoport of the Boston Herald, the Pats will bring in free agent receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh for a workout on Monday. To complete the trifecta, New England will also meet with...

We've been saying it since we started our evaluations back in February, that Brandon Meriweather (V.I.P. on Swole) should be concerned about retaining his starting job.

Free-agent safety Darren Sharper, a 14-year veteran and a key member of the New Orleans Saints' 2009 Super Bowl-winning squad, told NFL Network on Sunday that he will work out for the Patriots on Monday. Sharper has 63 interceptions and 11 touchdowns in his career. He has made five Pro Bowls, but he also had knee surgery in 2010, and missed eight games that season. The Boston...

While the Patriots reportedly plan to host free-agent wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh for a workout on Monday, they'll also work out a pair of safeties, including five-time Pro Bowler Darren Sharper. According to the Boston Herald's Ian Rapoport, the Pats will work out Sharper and Renaldo Hill, which could put some added pressure on starter Brandon Meriweather, who is entering...

The New England Patriots will be bringing in veterans TJ Houshmanzadeh,  Darren Sharper, and Renaldo Hill for work outs on Monday. Houshmanzadeh played for the Baltimore Ravens last season and dropped a crucial pass in the Ravens playoff loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.  If the Patriots sign him he will reunite with his former Cinncinati [...]

Foxborough is going to be crowded on Monday with big name veterans looking for work. Safety Darren Sharper will be in town to work out for the Patriots, according to Len Pasquarelli of Sports XChange.  Safety Renaldo Hill will also work out, and we previously mentioned that T.J. Houshmandzadeh will also be in town. The…

With the NFL lockout taking out the normal free agency period, players and teams have been in hyper speed trying to fill holes and find homes over the past few weeks. With the dust somewhat settled, here’s a look at some free agents that are still looking for a team. Although they are missing a nice paycheck, at least they are dodging some of those hot training camp practices...

Safety Renaldo Hill, who was released Saturday night, wasn't even gone 24 hours before his No. 23 jersey was being worn by running back Willis McGahee.

With all the Kyle Orton trade-no trade/Willis McGahee/Jabar Gaffney/Renaldo Hill/Von Miller news last week, the Brian Dawkins restructured contract got overlooked. The deal was completed Friday evening. Dawkins will be the Broncos’ starting strong safety this year. He will help bring along rookie Rahim Moore, the Broncos’ first of two second-round draft picks who is expected...

The roster moves continued for the Broncos on Saturday, as the club released veteran safety Renaldo Hill. The 11-year veteran spent two seasons in Denver, starting 31 out of a possible 32 games. He accumulated 122 tackles, two sacks, four interceptions, 10 passes defensed, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery during that span. The Broncos currently have seven safeties on the...

The Denver Broncos released free safety Renaldo Hill on Saturday.Hill, who was unable to practice Thursday due to dehydration, was due to make $2.5 million this season. The 31-year-old Hill recorded 63 tackles and two interceptions last season.

Hill will always be remembered (and perhaps, never forgiven) for his pass interference play against the Jets in week six that ultimately cost Denver the game. (AP Photo/Barry Gutierrez) The Denver Broncos announced on Saturday evening that veteran safety Renaldo Hill has been released from the team.  The move surprises no one, as Mr. East predicted last Wednesday that Hill would...

The Broncos have released another high-priced veteran. The team announced Saturday afternoon that it cut safety Renaldo Hill. Hill, 32, was scheduled to make $2.4 million this season. His roster spot was vulnerable after the team drafted two safeties, including one in the second round, this spring. Hill has not participated in any of the full practices this week. Coach John Fox said...

While the rest of their teammates are in pads for the first time this season, veteran linebacker D.J. Williams and safety Renaldo Hill are watching in jerseys and shorts. Williams participated in the first three practices — two non-padded practices and one walk-through. Hill has not gone through a regular practice yet. John Fox said on Thursday that Hill was being held out...

Broncos head coach John Fox said safety Renaldo Hill missed Thursday’s morning practice because of dehydration. With Hill out and veteran Brian Dawkins on the sidelines until his contract is restructured, the two first-team safeties this morning were Darcel McBath and Kyle McCarthy. Rookies Rahim Moore and Quinton Carter were also not at practice while their contracts were being finalized.

One notable absence from the start of training camp is veteran safety Renaldo Hill. Hill is scheduled to make $2.4 million, and his spot on the field is vulnerable after the team drafted two safeties — including free safety Rahim Moore — in April. Moore and fellow rookie Quinton Carter were also not on the field for the start of practice. Carter’s contract should...

Photo by Joe Amon, The Denver Post Every year we see players released due to performance not equaling pay grade. It’s time to take a look at those players with these susceptible salaries. 1. Renaldo Hill Hill is due $2.4 million in 2011 and $2.65 million in 2012. Denver has David Bruton, Darcel McBath, Quinton Carter, and Rahim Moore all at the safety position. There is no...

Dan Pompei of the National Football Post reports that the word out of Dove Valley is the Broncos had three reasons for selecting two safeties in the first four rounds—Rahim Moore in the second and Quinton Carter in the fourth while ignoring some glaring needs in the draft. Reason 1: Starter Brian Dawkins is 37 and starter Renaldo Hill is 32. It’s not like they believe one of their...

The Broncos entered this offseason identifying not one, but two safeties as positions of need. It can’t be all that shocking considering free safety Renaldo Hill, 33, and strong safety Brian Dawkins, 37, are a combined 70 years old. Through the first four rounds of the draft, the Broncos put both Hill, a dependable starter, [...]
