The legal tampering period kicks off on March 10th when teams will have a 52-hour window where they can officially begin talking to non-Broncos free agents and agreeing to deals. These deals will not become official until March 12th, when free agency officially kicks off and these players can sign these deals.
According to Over The Cap, the Denver Broncos currently have $40,851,255 million dollars in cap space available and have plenty of room to be aggressive in free agency if they decide to go that route. They’re expected to target a linebacker and safety in free agency and potentially add a wide receiver, tight end, and a defensive linemen as well.
We will be tracking all these moves before the opening of the legal tampering period and then every move the team makes after that. It figures to be yet another busy free agency period for the Broncos and hopefully, they can make some moves that help improve the team.
