The Broncos were in search of help for the secondary and they may have found it in free agency. Troy Renck says the Broncos have made a signing to go with Chris Harris Jr. Despite a poor performance in the postseason, Kareem Jackson earned an impressive 79.5 overall grade across 1,055 defensive snaps in the regular season.
#Broncos entered free agency wanting to get No. 2 Corner to pair with @ChrisHarrisJr. Kareem Jackson in line for 3 year deal with $23 mill guaranteed. Older player. But solid. And needed with Roby exiting. #Denver7
