The Broncos, meanwhile, may be bracing for star receiver Demaryius Thomas to hold out if they cannot reach a long-term deal before Wednesday's deadline.
Is there reason to connect the dots?
I asked Twitter, and the results were mixed.
At the time of this writing, about 60 percent were opposed to signing Wayne, 31 percent were in favor, and the remaining 9 percent suggested something along the lines of a maybe.

@JonHeathNFL I'll pass, just pay DT and let's ride.

@JonHeathNFL for the 3rd down value alone yes

@JonHeathNFL nah. Don't need another reason to stunt Latimer's growth.

@JonHeathNFL Absolutely He can be 4th WR Play all 3 WR positions Great Red zone option Can teach the young guys especially if 88 holds out

@JonHeathNFL and let DT walk?

@JonHeathNFL That's like asking how long a piece of string is; it depends. For the right price if we get an injury in camp or preseason.

@flavio_maciel @JonHeathNFL I'd go with no. Latimer, Sanders, DT, Fowler, Norwood, etc. They are already in good shape and Elway wants youth

@JonHeathNFL Never hurts to bring someone to camp to take a look.

What do you think of Wayne? Is he worth taking a flier on, or not worth Denver's time?
