The Broncos’ big splash on Day 1 of the NFL’s free agency negotiating period came on the offensive line, but the franchise also moved quickly to identify its backup quarterback.
At that price tag, Denver is also opting against tendering its other restricted free agents, a source said. They are corner Essang Bassey, safety P.J. Locke and long snapper Jacob Bobenmoyer. They will become free agents, though the Broncos could try to re-sign any or all of them at lower numbers.The Broncos on Monday also agreed to a two-year, $6 million deal with Jacksonville tight end Chris Manhertz, his agency, SES Sports, confirmed to The Post.
Manhertz, 30, is considered primarily a blocking tight end. He spent the past two seasons with Jacksonville after most of five years in Carolina. He briefly crossed paths with Payton in 2016, appearing in three games for the Saints. Manhertz is listed at 6-5 and 255 pounds. He was a college basketball player at Canisius but has become more of force in the run game than the passing game in the NFL. He’s got 24 career catches in 104 games. In October, Jaguars first-year head coach Doug Pederson raved about Manhertz’ contributions in the run game.
“He’s been great for us in the run game. He’s been one of the guys I’ve really enjoyed working with,” Pederson said. “Each week we still try to figure out a way to throw him the ball if we can. He sacrifices a lot to block and he does a great job of that.”: The list of 2022 Broncos who agreed to terms elsewhere on Monday included tight end Andrew Beck and running back Mike Boone. They are both headed to Houston on two-year agreements, according to several outlets including the Houston Chronicle.
