And so inquisitive football minds want to know if the Broncos are interested in signing Blount, who was released by the Pittsburgh Steelers, or put a claim in on Tate, who was waived by the Cleveland Browns.
But according to a Broncos source, there isn’t enough time left in the season for a running back to come in and learn the team’s offensive system — which doesn’t exactly lack in complexity as operated by Peyton Manning. If it was earlier in the season, the Broncos would have had interest in both backs, the source said. If, heaven forbid, there’s another injury, the Broncos will have no choice but to sign a back off the street.
