Here’s the montly summary of offseason moves made by the Broncos in March:

  • Courtney Brown signed a contract extension.
  • The Broncos re-signed Gerard Warren, Mike Leach, and Ron Dayne only hours after they hit the free agent market.
  • The Broncos signed LB Nate Webster, formerly of the Cincinnati Bengals.
  • DE Kenard Lang, formerly of the Cleveland Browns, was signed. He becomes the fifth Brownco — former DLineman for Cleveland who are now in Denver.
  • Mike Anderson, Jeb Putzier, and Quentin Griffin will not be Broncos in 2006. Anderson followed Trevor Pryce to Baltimore, Putzier signed with the Texans and Quentin Griffin signed with the Chiefs. So far, no Broncos fans have shown any sorrow that Q won’t be back.
  • In a three way trade involving the Jets and the Falcons, the Broncos acquired the 15th pick in the 1st round of this years draft. In order to move up, they gave up the 29th pick and a 3rd rounder this year, and a fourth round pick next year.
  • The full schedule has not yet been announced, but we do know that the Broncos are playing a game in KC on the evening of Thanksgiving. It will be the first regular season ever played on the NFL Network.
  • The Broncos were awarded a compensatory pick at the end of the fourth round in next month’s NFL draft.
  • Though nothing official has happened, the Broncos keep looking at some other options at QB. They haven’t expressed dissatisfaction with Bradlee VanPelt, but just want to have some competition for that backup QB spot.
  • The Broncos resigned LB Keith Burns. Burns’ contribution in the locker room makes him valuable, and I’m glad the Broncos are acknowledging that and keeping him around.

I believe that covers it. If anyone see anything I missed, please leave a comment.
