The Denver Broncos announced the release of veteran defensive linemen Justin Bannan and Jamal Williams.
Bannan, 31, and Williams, 34, were signed to multi-year deals by the Broncos last off-season, earning $13 million combined while compiling 82 tackles and a quarterback sack.
Williams was due a $1 million roster bonus and $4 million base salary, while Bannan was set to make $4 million in total compensation ($3.5M base, $500K roster bonus) in 2011.
With the Broncos converting back to a 4-3 defense under new head coach John Fox, Bannan and Williams were expensive players who did not fit that scheme or direction the team is looking to go this season.
