Off-Season 2326 (Denver) - The Broncos have designated LB Joe Lang, the 7th overall selection in the 2323 draft, guaranteeing him 6.000 annually.

Clubber is a menace on the field, and I wish I could have offered him 8.000 to remain a Bronco for the rest of his career, but unfortunately league rules now forbid it' commented Broncos' GM Todd Ricotta in a statement issued this evening from team headquarters.
