The Denver Broncos group of pass rushers could take a massive step forward in 2024
The Broncos continued to fortify their defensive line Monday by reaching agreement with veteran defensive tackle Angelo Blackson on a one-year contract, a source told 9NEWS.
The 6-foot-4, 305--pound Blackson will be playing for his sixth NFL team as he is about to begin his 10th season. Blackson was the Tennessee Titans' fourth-round draft pick out of Auburn in 2015. He has also played for Houston, Arizona -- where his defensive coordinator was current Broncos' DC Vance Joseph -- Chicago and Jacksonville.Jaguars defensive lineman Angelo Blackson runs off of the line of scrimmage against the Cleveland Browns, Sunday, Dec. 10, 2023.
He joins former New Orleans' Saint Malcolm Roach along the Broncos revised defensive line. The Broncos allowed defensive linemen Jonathan Harris to become a free agent and sign with the Miami Dolphins. Veteran nose tackle Mike Purcell is also a free agent. The Broncos ranked No. 30 in run defense last year -- perhaps one reason why the Denver offense ranked No. 26 in total offense. To wit: Can't move the ball when the offense is on the sidelines.
The Broncos' defensive line now includes Zach Allen, D.J. Jones, Matt Henningsen, Jordan Jackson, Rashard Lawrence, Roach and Blackson.
