Cameron Wake turned down interest from Broncos

The Denver Broncos hunt for Von Miller’s replacement continues. First, the Broncos tried to lure in free-agent Clay Matthews but he wasn’t interested and now they have failed to reach an agreement with Cameron Wake, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Wake, as a member of the Tennessee Titans last season, started 2019 on a tear with 2.5 sacks but didn’t get another before heading to IR in November. According to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis, Denver did make an offer to Wake but the two sides couldn’t agree on the numbers.

Wake and Matthews both made our list of 12 free agent pass rushers who would make sense as possible replacements for Miller.

I wonder if Clay Matthews has turned Seattle down? I know he hates this team after the 2014 NFCCG.


Matthews’ agent, Ryan Williams, released the following statement

We recently had communication with the Broncos, as we have with other teams during the offseason. We were under the impression that communication would remain private, but since it did not, let me be clear: We were unable to come to an agreement with Denver, but Clay remains open to playing in the NFL in 2020, provided it’s the right opportunity for him and his family.

Matthews might be asking for more than what Denver is willing to pay. His last two-year contract averaged $4.625 million per season. Denver currently has $25.43 million in salary cap space.

Does he hate the Seahawks? I've never actually heard that. Source?

Players don’t hate teams as much as us fans do.
It’s all a “business” to them.
