There is always going to be risk involved with NFL Free Agency, and some risks are just worth taking. The Denver Broncos and general manager George Paton took a major risk when they signed free agent linebacker Dre Greenlaw, but it was unquestionably a risk worth taking.
At this point in the season, however, it's almost looking like that signing is going up in flames.
Greenlaw pulled up in the Broncos' loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars with another hamstring injury, and for the time being, he's avoided injured reserve. But the reality of the situation is that Greenlaw has only played eight games this season, and there's worry that they might be the only eight games he plays as a Bronco.
