With the acquisition of quarterback Russell Wilson from the Seattle Seahawks last week, general manager George Paton is entering the most critical offseason of his short tenure with the Denver Broncos. The rebuild is over.
The new league year begins on Wednesday, March 16, 2022 at 2 p.m. mile high time, but the ‘legal tampering’ period opens up on Monday, March 14, 2022 at 10 a.m. That is usually when we’ll see a flood of reports come through of free agents agreeing to sign with various teams.
We will be keeping track of all the news and rumors throughout this tampering period and the official start to free agency. It’s even more exciting this year because the Broncos are BACK!
