Understanding the Broncos’ 2022 free agent offensive line signings

The Broncos have been struggling to find a long-term starter at right tackle since what feels like forever. The last guy to start regularly at right tackle for the Broncos two years in a row was Orlando Franklin in 2012 and 2013. So during free agency, George Paton has now signed three guys all of whom could be potential starters at right tackle: Calvin Anderson, Tom Compton and Billy Turner.

The two guys who got most of the snaps at right tackle for the 2021 Broncos were both free agents, but they were not brought back to Denver, presumably because they do not fit the offensive scheme that Nathanial Hackett and Justin Outten will use.
