The Broncos have acquired defensive end Le Kevin Smith from the Patriots for a draft pick. New England needed a fifth-round draft pick to send to Oakland to complete their recent trade for defensive end Derrick Burgess. "We're just trying to improve the football team in every way we can," Broncos coach Josh McDaniels told the Associated Press. "If there's a player at any position that could help us or we feel could improve our depth or talent, at any position, we would take a look at him. He certainly is a guy that we've evaluated and feel like he could fit what we're doing."
