ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- As the Denver Broncos head into the next phase of their offseason, they have their checkbook positioned for what they describe as a measured and strategic approach to the upcoming free agency period.
What that means -- a big splash accompanied by some smaller ones, or a variety of midsize ripples -- remains to be seen. But it's clear the salary cap restrictions that forced them into a calmer approach and a younger roster last offseason got the attention of the team's decision-makers after the Broncos went 10-7 and broke an eight-year playoff drought.
