The Facts:
Free-agent Gaffney is scheduled to visit the Denver Broncos today. The website profootballtalk.com first reported the Broncos' plans with Gaffney, and those plans have since been confirmed by the Boston Globe. Depending on how aggressive the Broncos are with their offer, and how willing the Pats might be to match any financial package, Gaffney is still an option to return to New England at this point.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As Globe staffer Mike Reiss suggested, this appears to be an example of how the spreading of Patriots executives and coaches around the NFL has boosted the market for players from New England. First-year Broncos HC Josh McDaniels, the former Patriots offensive coordinator, figures to run a similar offense in Denver, with three receivers in a base package and Gaffney would appear to be a nice complement with Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal. The Broncos have also expressed an interest in Tampa Bay's Michael Clayton.
