Broncos officially announce signing safety to 1-year contract

It’s officially official now.

Following premature reports that safety Tycen Anderson had agreed to sign with the Denver Broncos on Wednesday evening, the defensive back actually agreed to a one-year deal on Thursday morning.

The Broncos officially announced the signing on Friday, making Anderson their first outside free agent signing of 2026. Denver was the last team in the NFL to sign a free agent from another club this offseason.

Anderson (6-2, 205 pounds) spent the first four years of his career with the Cincinnati Bengals. He was a kicking game ace in Cincinnati, earning special teams grades of 83.4, 82.6 and 88.7 from Pro Football Focus from 2023-2025. PFF credits Anderson with 850 special teams snaps over three seasons, including 382 last fall.

He figures to serve a key special teams role with the Broncos, and after P.J. Locke left during free agency, Anderson should get an opportunity to compete for the No. 3 safety job this summer.
