Denver is bringing another familiar face back from its 2022 defense.
The Broncos on Thursday announced they re-signed safety P.J. Locke after declining to tender him as a restricted free agent before the new league year began a day earlier. Locke, 26, will return for a fourth season in Denver after briefly hitting the free-agent market Wednesday afternoon. Locke has appeared in 47 career games over his first three NFL seasons and last year served mainly as a special teams player and “dime” defensive back. He also served as one of Denver’s core special teams players.
Locke was originally a restricted free agent, meaning Denver needed to guarantee at least $2.627 million in order to have the right to match another team’s offer. The Broncos didn’t tender any of its restricted free agents at that level but got Locke back a day later anyway. Terms of the contract were not immediately available.
Glasgow, Edmonds find new teams: Before playing three seasons for the Broncos, offensive lineman Graham Glasgow spent the first part of his career in Detroit. Now he’s headed back. Glasgow agreed Thursday to a one-year deal worth up to $4.5 million with the Lions, the NFL Network reported. Glasgow was cut last week by the Broncos in a move that saved $11 million on the 2023 cap. Also Thursday, running back Chase Edmonds signed a one-year deal with Tampa Bay. Like Glasgow, he was cut last week, clearing $5.92 million in cap space for Denver.
