Broncos general manager George Paton gets his man, cornerback Blessuan Austin.
The Broncos are signing Austin, 25, according to 9News insider Mike Klis. Austin will add depth to the secondary after having started 17 games over the last three seasons with the New York Jets and Seattle Seahawks.
Austin is one of seven players who tried out for the Broncos during voluntary minicamp this week. Like with the re-signing of Melvin Gordon Tuesday, Paton abolishes a draft need hours before the NFL draft Thursday.
