DeMarcus Ware
Experience: 11 Years Cap Hit: $8 million
2015 Stats: 25 total tackles; 7.5 sacks; 1 forced fumble
Again, DeMarcus Ware isn’t getting cut, but I wouldn’t be shocked if this was the year he became more of a situational pass rusher and less of an every-down monster.
Remember, he’s 33 years old and he’s had reoccurring back issues; some time off might be a good thing.
Now, that doesn’t mean he can’t be a major factor on the Broncos defense. In fact, if Shane Ray steps in as the “starter,” and Ware comes in on third downs and passing situations, he may have more in the tank to give at the game’s most-important moments.
Plus, a lighter per-game workload might actually increase his season-long productivity; he can’t produce anything if he’s injured.
