In a bizarre move, the Seattle Seahawks cut WR Ken Peelle upon the completion of the regular season opting not to have him on the team for the playoffs. Denver offered him $15 million to join the Broncos for the playoffs, an offer matched by the Tennessee Titans, who was the Broncos opponent in the Wild Card Round. Ultimately Peelle signed with the Broncos and would help them secure two playoff victories.
