Back to the drawing board. The Broncos' hope of replacing Jason Elam with a proven veteran to a hit today when former Dolphin and Saint kicker Olindo Mare signed with the Seattle Seahawks on a 2 year deal worth $3.5 million.

While this is a bit of a disappointment, there was no way the Broncos were going to offer Mare a contract worth more than they offered Elam. The kids have to play sometime, time to see what Prater is made of....
