The Denver Broncos have nearly completed their offseason housekeeping.
Last week, the Broncos signed offensive lineman Elijah Wilkinson and nose tackle Mike Purcell to second-round, $3.259 million tenders. No other teams submitted offer sheets for Wilkinson or Purcell so the players were never in danger of leaving Denver.
The Broncos also signed four exclusive rights free agents to one-year tenders last week: cornerback Shakial Taylor, safety Trey Marshall, wide receiver Tim Patrick and returner Diontae Spencer. As EFRAs, those players were not eligible to negotiate with other teams. They received league-minimum contracts.
After signing Wilkinson, Purcell, Taylor, Marshall, Patrick and Spencer, Denver has just one remaining player left to sign his tender: offensive lineman Jake Rodgers.
Rodgers’ only options are to sign or sit out the season so his singing is likely just a formality. Once signed, Rodgers will become the 79th player on the Broncos’ roster, leaving 11 open spots entering the NFL draft.
