The Broncos are among several teams expected to meet with free-agent defensive tackle Earl Mitchell next week, according to NFL.com’s Mike Garafolo. Mitchell is also expected to meet with the Falcons, Seahawks and 49ers, according to the report.
The interest on behalf of the Broncos makes sense, not only for need at the position but because of Mitchell’s experience with Denver’s coaching staff. Mitchell was with Vance Joseph and defensive line coach Bill Kollar in Houston and was reunited with Joseph again in Miami last season, when Joseph was the Dolphins’ defensive coordinator.
The Broncos entered the offseason with glaring holes on both lines.
