According to Adam Schefter, the deal is worth $30 million over three seasons with $20 million guaranteed. Ware was released by the Dallas Cowboys in a salary cap move on Monday, the first day of the new league year. Despite struggling a great deal in the Cowboys new defensive scheme last year, Ware still has a ton left in the tank.

The idea of pairing Ware up with All-Pro performer Von Miller had to be enticing for the Broncos, who acted quickly after the Cowboys sent the seven-time Pro Bowler packing. In addition to adding Ware, Denver has signed defensive backs T.J. Ward and Aqib Talib to rather lofty deals. To say that they are going all in for Peyton Manning in 2014 would be an understatement.
It still remains to be seen whether this puts them over the top in the NFL. Remember, the Broncos looked like they didn’t even belong on the football field with the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl last month.
