The Denver Broncos have strengthened their offensive line by signing two free agents, guard Calvin Throckmorton and center Sam Mustipher, to one-year contracts. Throckmorton, who has played in 46 NFL games with 27 starts, spent the previous season with Carolina and Tennessee and was part of the New Orleans Saints under coach Sean Payton in 2021. Known as "Doc Throck" for his aspirations to attend medical school and become a doctor after his NFL career, Throckmorton's deal is valued at the minimum of $1.055 million, including $150,000 guaranteed and up to $200,000 in possible incentives. Mustipher, with 52 games and 42 starts in his NFL career, spent 2023 with Baltimore after three years in Chicago. He is viewed as the leading candidate to replace Lloyd Cushenberry as the starting center. His signing follows coach Sean Payton's strategy of adding former Saints players and emphasizing intelligence in his team selections.
