Day 2 of the NFL’s negotiating period didn’t bring any further blockbusters for the Broncos, but it did deliver some backfield help.
Denver on Tuesday agreed to a two-year, $7.5 million contract with Cincinnati running back Samaje Perine, a league source confirmed to The Post, adding a veteran back to the stable of players general manager George Paton and company have added in the first two days of de-facto free agency.
The league year doesn’t begin officially until 2 p.m. Wednesday, but when it does the Broncos now have six new players expected to sign contracts – Perine, offensive linemen Mike McGlinchey and Ben Powers, tight end Chris Manhertz, quarterback Jarrett Stidham and defensive lineman Zach Allen – in addition to agreeing to a three-year deal with returning linebacker Alex Singleton.
