The Facts: Ward is beginning to gain some more interest around the NFL, sources close to the situation tell the NFP's Joe Fortenbaugh. Ward is in Denver today meeting with the Broncos. In addition, the Philadelphia Eagles, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Houston Texans are expressing interest, depending on Ward’s price tag, which has dropped since the free agent market opened.

Diehards Line: And that truly appears to be the key here. As Newark Star-Ledger staffer Mike Garafolo reported last week, talk at the scouting combine was that Ward’s asking price had dropped to $2.5 million per season. .... In 16 games for the Giants last season, Ward rushed for 1,025 yards and caught 41 passes for 384 yards, all career highs. Still, there is some question about Ward's ability to handle a featured role -- a limiting factor when it comes to contract value.
