Looks like Brian Dawkins has some love for playing in Denver, as the Future Hall of Famer has took a $4 million dollar pay cut to stay with the Broncos.

It was reported by the Denver Post on Wednesday, that the 37 year old will make $2 Million this season, which turns out to be $1.6 ,million in base salary with a $400,000 signing bonus.

“Where I am in my life as a person, this is no big deal to me,” Dawkins said. “It’s what I felt was right. The last two-and-a-half years, I had a horrible taste in my mouth. I really wanted to be part of this team, part of the Denver Broncos —- how do I say this? -— without any dark clouds over us. I could have decided to continue my career some other place, but that’s not what I wanted to do.”

“I’ve put down some roots here with my home and my teammates,” Dawkins said. “And a huge factor in this decision was having Coach (John) Fox here. I like what he’s brought here. I’m excited about what we have going on here with the Denver Broncos.”
