Former Denver Broncos cornerback Jonathan Wilhite signed Friday with the Chicago Bears.

The Broncos lose a guy that made some key plays for them in his one season with the team. He had 29 tackles, 2 sacks, and 1 interceptions to round out the regular season. He played in 15 games and started in 2 games.

Wilhite was drafted in the fourth round by the New England Patriots in 2008.

In the wake of Sunday’s Grammy Awards and just prior to NFL free agency, let’s divide the Denver Broncos’ seventeen unrestricted free agents into Grammy-themed teams to better understand their individual value to Broncos.

Team Whitney Houston: If you wrote a song and traveled back in time to any year between 1985 and 1995 with the sole mission of ensuring it turned into a platinum hit, who is the first person you call?  Easy.  Whitney Houston.  Who turned “The Star Spangled Banner” into a stirring sensation?  Who could take a Dolly Parton song of any magnitude and do what she did on “I Will Always Love You”?

Fast forward to the present.  If your sole mission is to build a championship team, who are the first people you call?  Your own unrestricted free agents that are going to be a lockdown, sure thing mega hit.  Call them!  Get them in the studio Dove Valley now!

Denver’s defense held it’s ground for the better part of the game, just waiting for a stagnant offense to emerge out of the bowels of South Beach. The Broncos went 4-for-16 on third down, had punter Britton Colquitt out there 9 times, and had zero points through three and three-fourths quarters.

When the offense sputters, defense can quickly turn sour as well. That didn’t happen yesterday as the Broncos won their second game of the season.

The team got to Matt Moore 4 times, forced the Dolphins to punt 8 times, and forced them to go 3-of-14 on third down.

Stepping up individually, Jonathan Wilhite had 11 tackles, D.J. Williams sacked Moore causing him to fumble and then recovered the ball in overtime, and Brian Dawkins had 2 sacks.
