Sauerbrun Goes to The Broncos

The New England Patriots will be letting go of playoff punter Todd Sauerbrun who, now a free agent, has accepted a one year deal from the Denver Broncos, perks included, said to be worth more than $1.4 million.  The 13 year veteran began his 2006 season in Denver and lost his position on the team during a suspension.  His record is strong with three Pro Bowls on his resume, and both teams were vying for him under the free agent label

When this deal was first put on the table the Patriots contested the Broncos using a clause in Sauerbrun’s contract that allowed them to deny any offer within seven days, matching it in order to keep a free agent.  Sauerbrun employed the weight of the NFL Players Association to challenge the clause as it did not meet requirements of right-to-match deals.  Stay tuned for more offers, trades and draft picks, and get your 2007 NFL tickets from StubHub.com.
