Denver Broncos general manager George Paton had a busy Tuesday.
In addition to releasing kicker Brandon McManus and signing defensive lineman Tyler Lancaster, Paton also brought back veteran offensive tackle Cam Fleming on Tuesday.
Fleming is returning to the team on a one-year deal worth up to $4 million, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Once the deal becomes official, Denver will have to make a corresponding move to make room for Fleming on the 90-man offseason roster.
Fleming, 30, joined the Broncos in 2021. He started four games that season and then emerged as a 15-game starter in 2022. Fleming was penalized four times and allowed five sacks last fall, according to STATS LLC.
This season, Fleming will likely serve as the team’s backup swing tackle behind Garett Bolles (left) and Mike McGlinchey (right). The list of candidates in contention for backup tackle spots this summer also includes Quinn Bailey and Isaiah Prince.
