The Denver Broncos have struck a deal with the New England Patriots to acquire defensive lineman Le Kevin Smith, the Boston Herald reported Monday. In what will eventually turn out to be a three-player deal, the Patriots will send Smith and a seventh-round pick to Denver in exchange for the Broncos’ 2010 fifth-round pick. 

Smith was a sixth-round pick in 2008 by the Patriots, and, at 6’3″ and over 300 pounds, he provides the Broncos with another big body up front. 

This move is likely a response to J’Vonne Parker going down for the season with an injury, leaving the Broncos a man short on the defensive front.
