Denver's free agents, agreed to terms on a two-year deal today with the
Cincinnati Bengals, an NFL source confirmed. Myers had visited
Cincinnati on Tuesday.
Denver Post
UPDATE 4/18/07: Myers was in Cincinnati on Monday night visiting with the Bengals.
Cincinnati Enquirer
UPDATE 4/17/07:Although the Broncos have expressed some
interest in bringing Myers back, he is likely to go elsewhere. He is
not ideal for new assistant head coach in charge of defense Jim Bates'
system, because Bates likes his defensive tackles very big.
Denver Post
UPDATE 4/9/07: Defensive tackle Michael Myers is searching
for a new agent after deciding to part ways with Eugene Parker. Myers,
who has yet to hear from the Broncos, started alongside Gerard Warren
the past two seasons
Denver Post
UPDATE 3/29/07: Myers' return may be more probable but it
could take time. The Broncos aren't promising him a starting job and he
likely will look at other offers first.
Denver Post
UPDATE 2/24/07: In a thin defensive tackle market, Myers figures to secure a decent
offer. Parker said there is a chance he and Denver general manager Ted
Sundquist will meet here during the next several days and that Myers
doesn't necessarily have to hit the free- agent market, because Myers
has professed that he wants to stay.
