2024 Broncos free agency news and rumor tracker

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 legal tampering period kicks off on March 11th when teams will have a 52-hour window where they can officially begin talking to non-Broncos free agents and agreeing to deals. These deals will not become official until March 13th when free agency officially kicks off and these players can sign these deals.

However, as we stand right now, the Denver Broncos are $16 million dollars over the cap and have some moves they need to make before the league year officially opens. They also have a pending decision to make on veteran quarterback Russell Wilson who is expected to be released. So, while free agency begins next week, the Broncos have a lot of moves to make between then and now.

We will be tracking all these moves before the opening of the legal tampering period and then every move the team makes after that. It figures to be yet another busy free agency period for the Broncos and hopefully, they can make some moves that help improve the team.
