DENVER-
The Denver Broncos acquired 14-year veteran defensive tackle Dan Wilkinson from Miami on Saturday in exchange for a sixth-round draft pick in next month’s draft.
Wilkinson was selected by Cincinnati with the first overall selection in the 1994 draft out of Ohio State. He has played for the Bengals (1994-97), Washington (1998-2002), Detroit (2003-05) and Miami.
Wilkinson, who has 54 1/2 sacks in his career, has started all 16 regular season games eight times in his career, including three of the last four seasons. He joined the Dolphins after starting every game in three seasons with the Lions.
He was strictly a backup for the Dolphins last year, playing in 10 games and posting 14 tackles, breaking up three passes and forcing a fumble.
