Broncos Sign Safety Tycen Anderson, Boosting Special Teams

It's March 20th for the NFL.

Let's get into it.

The Denver Broncos have finally made their first outside free-agent move this off season

by signing safety Tyson Anderson to a one-year deal.

After early reports surfaced on Wednesday evening, the agreement became official on Thursday

morning with the team announcing it on Friday.

This signing marks a key step for Denver, who held out longer than any other NFL team before

bringing in a player from another squad this off season.

Anderson, standing six feet two inches in weighing 205 pounds, brings fresh depth to the

secondary.

Over his first four seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, Anderson shown on special teams,

earning strong grades from profile-ball focus, including an 88.7 last year.

He logged hundreds of snaps in that role, proving reliable and coverage and tackling.

Now with the Broncos, he steps into a special team's position right away, especially after

PJ Locke departed in free agency, expect him to battle for the number three safety spot

during training camp this summer.

As Denver builds momentum heading into the new season, Anderson's versatility could

pay quick dividends on the field.
