It’s officially official now.<\/p>\n
Following premature reports<\/a> that safety Tycen Anderson had agreed to sign with the Denver Broncos<\/a> on Wednesday evening, the defensive back actually agreed to a one-year deal<\/a> on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n 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<\/a> to sign a free agent from another club this offseason.<\/p>\n Anderson (6-2, 205 pounds) spent the first four years of his career with the Cincinnati Bengals<\/a>. He was a kicking game ace in Cincinnati, earning special teams grades of 83.4, 82.6 and 88.7 from Pro Football Focus<\/a> from 2023-2025. PFF credits Anderson with 850 special teams snaps over three seasons, including 382 last fall.<\/p>\n He figures to serve a key special teams role with the Broncos, and after P.J. Locke left during free agency<\/a>, Anderson should get an opportunity to compete for the No. 3 safety job this summer.<\/p>\n Need a news break?
