For all the second guessers on here - 31 other teams did not feel Ward was worth his current salary. The Broncos would have taken an empty water bucket in trade for him, but had to release him. The Broncos clearly are ready to move onto to younger players at that position. And TJ had a bad habit of drawing bad late game penalties. 

I'm sick of hearing Von whine each time the Broncos cut a veteran. That is the price of your $100 million contract Von! More for you means less for your teammates.
