The Facts:
Broncos DC Mike Nolan resigned after meeting Monday with HC Josh McDaniels. “”I can’t say anything other than Josh and I mutually agreed to part ways,” Nolan said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The move comes after a season in which Nolan's presence increased the team's performance from No. 29 to No. 7 in total defense. The reason for the separation isn't known (yet), but Profootballtalk.com's Mike Florio suggests the development puts Nolan in play for vacancies in Miami, Buffalo, and Chicago. ... Meanwhile, Florio believes the most obvious candidate to replace Nolan is former Patriots DE Dean Pees. Pees left the Patriots after the 2009 season, when his contract expired.
