When it comes to the Denver Broncos and free agency, we have you covered. Check back often for updates on news, reports, and rumors from free agency.

The creation of a team is like a puzzle.

When you drop the pieces on a table, it looks like a complete mess. It seems overwhelming, depending on the amount of pieces you have. But with patience and time, the pieces start to fill in. There are still times you try to force it, and when you do, to try to replace it with a more natural fit.

The first pieces of the Denver Broncos puzzle have been put in place, now over the next week or so, even more will be put in place. On the latest MHR Radio Podcast (iTunes, Spotify and Stitcher), Adam Malnati and I talk about the positions and players we would like to see Denver target.

We will keep Broncos Country up to date on the latest news, reports and rumors on who John Elway and Vic Fangio are looking to sign. Check back often for all of the updates.
