Broncos Free Agency Frenzy Continues

Broncos Signings:

Broncos Sign RB Melvin Gordon from the Chargers: This was being rumored the last few days and the Broncos signed Gordon to a 2 year deal worth $16 million. I like the move from a strategic standpoint. I think Gordon will be a really good 1-2 punch with Philip Lindsay, but I am concerned about the amount they gave him. I really hope this doesn't affect Lindsay's contract extension in the near future. Overall, a solid move.

Broncos sign TE Nick Vannett from the Steelers: Vannett slides in as the Broncos #2 TE after Noah Fant. Again, this is another solid move by Elway and I have no problem with it at all.

Broncos sign P Sam Martin from the Lions: The Broncos needed an upgrade at punter for Colby Wadman. They at least got that with Martin in this deal.

Broncos re-sign DE Jeremiah Attachou: Attachou played well down the stretch after he was signed by the Broncos early into last season. I like his play and I think this is a good depth transaction for the pass rushing unit.

Broncos Departures:

Will Parks signs with the Eagles: We all knew that Parks was going to leave because the Broncos are already paying Kareem Jackson and franchise tagged Justin Simmons. Parks is a solid player and good guy in the locker room, but there was no room for him to get paid on this team. It's a Shaq Barrett type of situation like last year.

Broncos release QB Joe Flacco: Not one Broncos fan loved or even liked the trade last year for Joe Flacco. Now, the Broncos have officially released Flacco and his era in Denver is over. It was a forgettable one from the start, so I'm glad this move was made and we can move on and put the full support behind Drew Lock as our franchise QB.
