The Denver Post confirms that SS Brian Dawkins' contract has expired and he is a free agent.

The NFLPA database previously listed Dawkins as being under contract for $6 million in 2012, but recently updated and does not have him signed as all. Dawkins suffered a career-threatening neck injury late in the 2011 season. Now 38 years old, we suspect Dawkins has played his last snap in the NFL.

Shame, always liked Dawkins. A little less as a Donk.

He has had a fantastic career, but as a Chiefs fan who can forget this that didn't count.

Brian Dawkins was a great safety for a long, long time, it’s sad that he may move aside for more greats like Kendrick Lewis and Eric Berry to take over, but that is just football.
