ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos signed seven-time Pro Bowl safety Brian Dawkins on Saturday.
Dawkins, who had spent his entire 13-year career with the Philadelphia Eagles, turns 36 next season. And although he's clearly on the downside of his career, he brings a hard-hitting style and leadership qualities coveted by new Broncos coach Josh McDaniels.
McDaniels, the New England Patriots offensive co-ordinator before he was hired to replace Mike Shanahan in Denver, envisions his new veteran safety playing a role similar to what Rodney Harrison had in New England in recent seasons.
The Broncos also signed free-agent safety Renaldo Hill, who helped lead the Miami Dolphins' turnaround last season.
