The legal tampering period kicks off on March 9th, 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 11th, when free agency officially kicks off, and these players can sign these deals.

According to Over The Cap, the Denver Broncos started with roughly $25 million dollars in cap space available to them and can easily increase that number if needed. However, that number will be a bit lower after these extensions. The Broncos are expected to target an offensive playmaker (running back, tight end, or maybe a wide receiver), as well as a linebacker, and to look to re-sign some of their own free agents.

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.
