The Denver Broncos re-signed 11 of their in-house free agents this spring and 10 of those players received one-year contracts.
Broncos general manager George Paton seems to be building the core of team’s roster through the draft while using free agency as a supplement to patch holes, which is a smart philosophy. Paton’s also used free agency to make some splash moves, such as pass rusher Randy Gregory and defensive lineman D.J. Jones.
Paton has also shown a willingness to give extensions to the team’s most important in-house players with expiring contracts, such as wide receivers Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick.
