DENVER (AP) -Todd Sauerbrun wants to make the most of his second stint with the Denver Broncos. ``I want to make amends,'' Sauerbrun said Friday after signing a one-year, $1.4 million contract Friday to return to the team that jettisoned him last October. The 13-year veteran, whose use of a banned dietary supplement cost him a four-game suspension and his job, had a long talk with coach Mike Shanahan upon his return. Shanahan told him: ``Just stay clean, just stay out of trouble,'' Sauerbrun said. |
