After making two big offensive line signings on the first day of NFL free agency, the Denver Broncos now seem poised to allow several of their in-house offensive linemen to walk in free agency.
The first domino to fall is swing tackle Calvin Anderson, who was agreed to terms on a two-year deal with the New England Patriots, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.
Anderson will now return to where his NFL began — the Patriots signed him as a college free agent out of Texas in 2019. After a very brief stint in New England that summer, Anderson began the regular season on the New York Jets’ practice squad.
The Broncos signed Anderson off New York’s practice squad mid-way through his rookie year and he remained in Denver for the next three seasons. Anderson was a backup swing tackle for the Broncos, earning 12 starts over the last three years as an injury fill-in.
Denver also has four more free agent offensive linemen — Billy Turner, Cam Fleming, Dalton Risner and Tom Compton — who also seem unlikely to return in 2023.
