The Facts:
Kanell, penciled in as the primary backup to starter Jake Plummer, was scheduled to make $1 million this season. But when the Broncos recently asked him to take a pay cut, he obliged and now is scheduled to make about $650,000. "They asked me to do it," Kanell said Thursday. "I didn't want any reason -- other than my on-field performance -- to determine my chances of making the team."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Kanell is running the No. 2 offense, but when training camp opens in three weeks, he is expecting a challenge from second-year quarterbacks Matt Mauck and Bradlee Van Pelt, who are making less money.
