Amid discussing the additions of outside linebacker Randy Gregory and defensive lineman D.J. Jones, the return of inside linebacker Josey Jewell and the potential of tight end Albert Okwuegbunam, Broncos general manager George Paton on Friday delivered an important line about the process of team-building.
“This offseason really just started with (the first week of) free agency,” he said.
Paton is 100% correct because two things can be true at the same time: The Broncos have checked off critical boxes, led by the trade for quarterback Russell Wilson, getting a pass rusher in Gregory and a run stopper in Jones, but they also have gaps in their to-do list.
