ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- For many, free agency in the NFL -- or the part folks really seem to care about in the drive-time world -- is essentially those first 48 hours after the market officially opens.
That's when the biggest names sign the biggest contracts and then pose for the customary photos, new jerseys in hand, alongside the people who wrote the checks. But John Elway, the Denver Broncos' president of football operations/general manager, likes to remind those who listen that "free agency doesn't stop after that first weekend."
While the Broncos did dive early into free agency to make their biggest deal -- $36 million for two years to quarterback Case Keenum -- they still have work to do now that the first week is in the books.
