Eight NFL free agents who could be fool’s gold

At the age of 34, it’s unlikely anyone will lay out a cash carpet for Ware to walk on heading into team headquarters.

Still, given his status as an impact player in the NFL for more than a decade, it’s a given he’s going to receive some serious interest from teams needing a boost off the edge. After all, it was only two seasons ago that Ware put his stamp on Denver’s Super Bowl-winning campaign by coming through with 3.5 sacks during the Broncos’ postseason run.

Plagued with injuries the past two seasons, including six missed games in 2016, Ware’s production during the regular season has declined. Following eight seasons out of nine in which he tallied at least 10 sacks, he totaled just 11.5 from 2015-16.

Ware has reportedly indicated he’s open to returning to the Dallas Cowboys this upcoming season if he doesn’t end up re-signing with the Broncos. As desperate as Jerry Jones is to bolster his defense off the edge (he talked about that here), don’t be surprised if Ware ends up signing a two-year deal with Dallas with more guaranteed money than he’s worth.
