Van Pelt eagerly awaits second chance

By Bill Williamson Denver Post Staff Writer
Bradlee Van Pelt awakened Saturday and felt at peace. He didn't expect that feeling, hours after being cut by the Broncos.
"It was almost a relief, a weight lifted from me," Van Pelt said Saturday. "I think, deep down, I knew I wasn't going to be successful here and it's time to go. I appreciate everything Denver and the Broncos have given me, but it's time to go."
Van Pelt may get the opportunity to work again soon. It's expected that the Houston Texans will consider claiming him today. The Texans are coached by former Denver offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak.
