"Denver signs Dayne to one-year deal

The Denver Broncos continue to be the land of opportunity for free agents hoping for a fresh start.
Friday the team added running back Ron Dayne to the roster, signing the 27-year-old to a one-year deal. Terms were not immediately available, but the minimum salary for a player with Dayne's experience is $540,000.
Dayne, a Heisman Trophy winner at Wisconsin, was one of two running backs to visit the team's Dove Valley complex Friday. Former Chicago Bears running back Anthony Thomas was the other.
The Broncos traded Reuben Droughns, their leading rusher last season, to the Cleveland Browns earlier this week.
Dayne, who was the 11th pick overall in the 2000 draft, clashed with Giants coaches about his weight at times during his five-year career there. He never started more than seven games in a season, most often splitting time with Tiki Barber early in his career.
Dayne was inactive for all 16 games in 2003 and carried the ball only 52 times the past season for 179 yards. Dayne also visited the New Orleans Saints and Miami Dolphins since free agency began."
No word on whether any Cleveland Browns running backs were available.
