The real reason Broncos big-ticket free agents did nothing in the preseason

The Denver Broncos made several splashes this spring, fortifying their roster into one of football's best, while also catching several headlines. However, their big acquisitions were mostly absent from preseason play. Mainly, to be specific, new Broncos defenders Dre Greenlaw and Talanoa Hufanga were nowhere to be seen, along with running back JK Dobbins. Instead, the Broncos have been giving more playing time to players in position battles, such as the defensive line and running back rooms.

These three new Broncos, along with Evan Engram, have been billed as the final pieces that could push the Broncos over the top, and potentially challenge the Kansas City Chiefs for the AFC West crown, a title that Andy Reid has held every season since the 2016 campaign.
