The Denver Broncos are set to sign Malcolm Roach, previously with the New Orleans Saints, as reported once free agency officially begins today. Roach, standing at 6 feet 3 inches and weighing 290 pounds, is recognized as a run-stopper, addressing a need in the Broncos’ run defense for the upcoming season.
The contract spans two years, guaranteeing $3 million with an additional $2.5 million signing bonus. Overall, the deal has the potential to reach $8 million in value.
Head Coach Sean Payton and General Manager George Paton are adhering to their strategy for free agency, prioritizing the pursuit of top second-tier players rather than engaging in the initial rush for top-tier talent during the “legal tampering” period. By focusing on this approach, they aim to secure valuable signings without facing as much competition from other teams once the second wave of free agency begins.
Additionally, the Broncos have made moves to bring back fullback Michael Burton and tight end Adam Trautman this week. These signings address important needs for the team, allowing them to focus on other key areas to address during the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft.
