The Denver Broncos entered the 2019 offseason needing help at the tight end and corner positions - and presumably they got it.
The most veteran of the tight end group, Jeff Heuerman, was given a two-year, $8 million deal. Third-year tight end Jake Butt and second-year tight end Troy Fumagalli are working back from injuries, so the Broncos could suddenly be looking at a healthy stable of Big 10 tight ends when the Hall of Fame Game rolls around in August.
Teaming first-round draft pick Noah Fant, who projects as the ‘move’ tight end, with Heuerman or Butt could be a dynamic duo in the new offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello’s offense.
