Life After the Broncos – Burton, Lewis and Cargile All Receive Contracts

Posted Mon May 5th by

Three players who were 2007 Broncos have moved on to other pasteurs today.  Safety Steve Cargile signed with his hometown Cleveland Browns. Cargile was a local football and basketball star in the Cleveland area before he became an undrafted free agent with Dallas and Denver.  Many suspected Cargile would sign with the Browns out of college, then head coach Butch Davis wasn’t high on Cargile at the time.  The Seahawks have reacquired linebacker D.D. Lewis after the Broncos borrowed his services for one season.  He sounds happy to be back in the Emerald City after his stint in Denver.  Things just didn’t seem to feel right with the Broncos, Lewis said, as he had a hard time getting used to their defense after spending so much time in Seattle’s. He was released in mid-October. The Bengals also awarded defensive tackle Antwon Burton a contract today while they worked out their new rookies fresh off the draft.

    You get the feeling that a lot of people on the field didn’t “get” the Jim Bates system.

    Preseason, I had D.D. Lewis penciled in as the starter at Sam. He could have at least put a little effort in special teams (he registered either 0 or 1 tackle, I can’t remember which, as if it’s a difference).

    So yeah, I’m not losing any sleep. Glad to see them still in the NFL, good luck fellas.
