NFL: Broncos release linebacker Boss Bailey
Associated Press
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Broncos have released linebacker Boss Bailey, bringing a quick end to the Bailey brothers reunion in Denver.
Also Wednesday, Denver signed Pro Bowl center Casey Wiegmann to an extension through 2010. Wiegmann is entering his 14th season.
Boss Bailey’s agent Jack Reale confirmed Baily had been released. He was signed last March, uniting him with his Pro Bowl cornerback brother Champ Bailey.
Boss Bailey played six games for Denver before a left knee injury ended his season in a game at New England on Oct. 20. He was placed on injured reserve and later had microfracture surgery.
Reale says Bailey will assess his next move once the knee is healed.
Before the Broncos, Boss Bailey spent five seasons in Detroit.
