The Broncos paid Mike McGlinchey big money. Here’s why more and more NFL teams are doing the same for right tackles

Quick, name the last right tackle to start consecutive Week 1 games for the Broncos.

Whatever the first name is that popped to mind, you’ve probably got to go back further than that.

The answer: Orlando Franklin in 2012 and 2013.

Yeah, it’s been a while. The franchise has had a different man on the right edge of its offensive line in each of the past 10 season openers.

Denver hopes the streak ends at 11 with Mike McGlinchey, whom they signed to a five-year deal worth up to $87.5 million ($52.5 million guaranteed for injury) back in March.
