One can never get complacent in a general manager’s chair, as the Broncos’ George Paton said at the owners’ meetings in Florida in March.
Build every day. Or you’ll be passed up.
“Even when the draft’s over,” Paton said in March, “it’s like — ‘UFL, what’s going on there?'”
That, evidently, was no throwaway example.
Two months after the NFL draft, the Broncos are expected to sign cornerback Mario Goodrich III from the United Football League, a source confirmed to The Denver Post on Tuesday night. The move would prompt Denver’s first post-minicamp roster cut, as the Broncos currently sit with 91 players on their offseason roster (exactly at the NFL’s countable cap of 90 with an international-player exception for Australian punter Jeremy Crawshaw).
