Story update: One day after the premature reports, the Broncos did reach an agreement on a one-year deal with Tycen Anderson. View our original post below.
It appeared that the Denver Broncos had made their first outside signing of free agency on Wednesday evening, but the news was apparently a false alarm.
Yanni Tragellis of WKRC-TV in Cincinnati tweeted that Cincinnati Bengals free agent safety Tycen Anderson told him he’s signing a one-year deal with the Broncos. Moments later, James Rapien of BengalsTalk.com reported the same news.
A few hours after those initial reports, however, Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post tweeted that the Broncos have not reached an agreement with Anderson, and a source told Gabriel a deal between the team and safety was “nowhere close.” Rapien then wrote a follow-up story that said the safety told him he remains an unsigned free agent.
Signing the 26-year-old defensive back for special teams contributions and safety depth might still be an option for Denver, but a deal hasn’t been agreed to — at least not yet. We’ll see if that changes.
