ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- In the initial wave of free agency, Denver Broncos general manager George Paton has indeed put his checkbook where his defense is. The team had so many needs on that part of the depth chart, though, that there is still plenty of work to be done.
The Broncos have agreed to terms with outside linebacker Randy Gregory (five years, $70 million) and defensive tackle D.J. Jones (three years, $30 million) as well as retained linebacker Josey Jewell (two years, $11 million) during the open negotiating period.
