The Broncos completed a deal today for veteran defensive end Vonnie Holliday.
The 6-foot-5, 288-pound Holliday was a solid defensive tackle/end for the Green Bay Packers from 1998-2002 before moving on to Kansas City and the Miami Dolphins. He will be expected to play both the 5-technique defensive end and nose tackle positions in the Broncos’ 3-4 defensive alignment.
“He’s versatile so he can play wherever the team decides to play him,” said Holliday’s agent Cary Fabrikant. “He’s an extremely talented football player who’s been a starter for long periods of time. He’s familar with the defense.”
Holliday, 33, had worked out for the Broncos during the free-agent period in March. He recently became a priority when newly acquired DE Le Kevin Smith suffering a knee injury.
Although Holliday did not go to training camp with any team this summer, Fabrikant says his client is in top physical condition through spinning, yoga and pilates.
