Broncos Free Agency Recap

The Broncos have had some more comings and goings in the last couple weeks in free agency, so let's catch up with the transactions.

1) Broncos Sign LT Russell Okung: This was a surprising move, but the Broncos signed Okung to a deal that is very team friendly. The first year is for $5 million and then the rest of the four years on the deal are for about $10-12 million, but essentially the Broncos and Okung have a year-to-year deal. Okung's signing means that he will take over at LT for the Broncos and Ryan Clady will be on the trading block or get released at some point in the offseason.

2) Broncos Re-sign WR Jordan Norwood: This was a good move by John Elway because Norwood had some real flashes at times last year, and I think he can be valuable as a punt returner once again. it is a one-year deal, but I like the move and Norwood will most likely be our slot receiver in 2016.

3) Broncos Sign DE Jared Crick: This is an intriguing move because Crick reunites with Gary Kubiak and Wade Phillips, and it gives Denver another replacement for the departed Malik Jackson. No one that Denver signs or drafts will replace Jackson but Crick is a decent option at a very valuable price.

4) Broncos Sign LS Casey Kreiter: The Broncos filled their long snapping position by signing Kreiter, who snapped for the Cowboys the last two preseasons.

5) Omar Bolden signs with the Bears: Bolden follows Danny Trevathan and Aaron Brewer out the door to sign with the Bears. It is a one-year deal with Chicago. I liked Bolden a lot and he did a nice job when he handled punt and kick returns the past two seasons. He was also good to have at safety for depth purposes.
