Dotson To Earn Up To $3 Million In Denver

August 12th, 2020

Demar Dotson

After 12 years in Tampa, and 12 freakin’ years of no playoffs, right tackle Demar Dotson got the call from Broncos GM John Elway.

The deal is official, per Mike Klis of 9News in Denver, and it’s worth up to $3 million with incentives for this season.

Joe wishes Dotson well. Hopefully, he’ll get worked over by Jason Pierre-Paul when the Bucs head to Denver in Week 3.

Perhaps that’s not a good thing. But it’s certainly a fun thing.

This didn’t happen during the Josh Freeman-Mike Glennon-Josh McCown-Jameis Winston-Ryan Fitzpatrick-Jameis Winston era. [read more]
