Broncos sign OL Calvin Throckmorton to one-year deal
Denver Post
The Broncos continued adding to their offensive line depth and continued adding former New Orleans Saints to their roster Monday.
They checked both boxes when they agreed to sign veteran interior lineman Calvin Throckmorton to a one-year deal. The team announced the agreement Monday afternoon.
Throckmorton went undrafted out of Oregon in 2020 and signed with New Orleans as a free agent. He spent his rookie year on the practice squad, then started 14 games for Sean Payton and the Saints in 2021. He was with the team again in 2022 after Payton resigned and started six more games
Throckmorton in 2023 spent nine games with Carolina and started seven. Then he finished the season as a reserve in Tennessee.
The 27-year-old overall has appeared in 46 games and started 27 over the first four years of his pro career.
In Denver, he provides depth to an interior group that has questions at center and mostly young players behind starting guards Ben Powers and Quinn Meinerz.
Payton said last week at the NFL owners meetings in Orlando, Florida that Alex Forsyth and Luke Wattenberg are the team’s first options to replace Lloyd Cushenberry at center. Denver also brought back trusted reserve Quinn Bailey on a one-year deal.
Throckmorton is the second offensive lineman Denver has added in free agency, joining Matt Peart, a 26-year-old tackle who spent the first four years of his career with the New York Giants.
