Broncos sign pair of tight ends as free agency opens

In the wake of Julius Thomas’ departure from Denver, the Broncos have signed two players to their roster.

Green reportedly informed the Bears of his decision to stay in Denver today, forgoing an opportunity to reunite with former Broncos coach John Fox.

Denver also agreed to terms with former Raven, and Texan tight end Owen Daniels. Daniels was coached by Gary Kubiak with both teams, and should fit in nicely as the number one tight end on the Broncos roster.

Daniels has been signed to a three year deal after a comeback season in Baltimore, totaling 48 receptions and 4 touchdowns.

Neither of the signings are particularly surprising, as John Elway called Green “Kind of our rock” a few weeks back, and we speculated both of these moves were possible back in late January.

Id expect the Broncos to look at re-signing Jacob Tamme, for added depth.
