Randy Gregory seeks to give Broncos what they paid for: “My thing is fulfilling my end of the agreement. A big part of that is being available and healthy so a lot of that was offseason, rehabbing. I feel like going out there for 17 games-plus and do what I need to do.”

>Now 30, Gregory worked on all aspects of himself this offseason. He has previously gone public about his struggles with anxiety issues.

>“Everyone wants to get tied up in the physical, but the big thing for me this offseason was getting the mental down,’’ he said. “Being able to fight those little mental battles. You’re going to have bad plays but put them behind and go on to the next one.’’

>A second year in Denver should help. A defensive end in Dallas, it was an adjustment for Gregory to become an outside linebacker – where dropping into coverage is part of the job description – in Denver.

>“It’s helped a lot,’’ Gregory said. “Anyone who knows me knows I’m big on comfortability and being in one state for that long was big for me, making the jump to a different team was big. That and coupled with the year we had, and injuries, it was tough but I’ve done a good job of staying on top of those things.

>“I think the coaches and players have done a good job of really integrating the mental health aspect. I think a lot of people that aren’t progressive kind of put it to the side and I tend to do it sometimes, too. I’m sure you guys do it sometimes too. So it’s nice to have that in check and be able to focus on football.”
