Report: Broncos aren't signing safety (at least not yet)

โ€ขYahoo Sports

A Bengals free agent safety told Cincinnati media members he was signing with the Broncos, only to later say he wasn't.

It appeared that the Denver Broncos had made their first outside signing of free agency on Wednesday evening, but the news was apparently a false alarm. Yanni Tragellis of WKRC-TV in Cincinnati tweeted that Cincinnati Bengals safety Tycen Anderson told him he's signing a one-year deal with the Broncos. Moments later, James Rapien of BengalsTalk.

com reported the same news . A few hours after those initial reports, however, Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post tweeted that the Broncos have not reached an agreement with Anderson, and a source told Gabriel a deal between the team and safety was โ€œnowhere close. โ€ Rapien then wrote a follow-up story that said the safety told him he remains an unsigned free agent.

Signing the 26-year-old safety for special teams contributions and safety depth might still be an option for Denver, but a deal hasn't been agreed to โ€” at least not yet. We'll see if that changes. Social : Follow Broncos Wire on Facebook and Twitter/X !
