Where are they now - Marco Coleman

Well, it looks like our old friend is going to hang up the pads for good.

OUT OF THE PICTURE: One Broncos defensive end who won't make an impact this season is Marco Coleman.

A veteran of five NFL teams and 12 pro seasons, Coleman opted to retire last week, less than three months after signing with Denver.

"He did a great job while he was here," coach Mike Shanahan said. "He's just a class act and a guy you'd love to have on your football team, but you've got to want to play, go through the off-season program and mini-camps. And I just think he made a decision that was best for him and his family, to retire."

Coleman split time with the second unit at the May mini-camp.

Bryant McNeal, Clint Mitchell and Johnson are listed as reserves behind Pryce and Hayward.

"We've got some depth at that position," Shanahan said.
Marco represented himself and GT well during his career. Best of luck in the next phase of your career Mr.Coleman!!
