The Denver Broncos decided against the veteran route to replace Bradley Chubb and instead poached Aaron Patrick off the Jaguars practice squad.
For the time being, the Denver Broncos probably won’t be pursuing any trades for Jamie Collins or other available edge defenders. They also aren’t going to be signing any prominent free agent pass rushers, it seems.
George Paton was once a scout, and that part of him has been shining through early on in his tenure as a general manager.
In addition to relying on the likes of Malik Reed, Jonathon Cooper, Andre Mintze, and possibly even Baron Browning, Paton has made the move to acquire former Jacksonville Jaguars practice squad member Aaron Patrick, a second-year player out of Eastern Kentucky.
