The Broncos' tight end room lacked a true receiving threat last season after former third-round pick Greg Dulcich was released and Lucas Krull failed to impress. That left Adam Trautman and Nate Adkins to be the Broncos' top receiving threats at tight end. Both of which had their moments, but both are known for their blocking skills, not their receiving skills. So, finding Sean Payton his ‘Joker’ at the tight end position was a priority for the Broncos this offseason.
Thankfully, the Jaguars released veteran tight end Evan Engram, who quickly visited the Broncos and ended up signing with the team after a quick cup of coffee with the Chargers.
