Update:
Jay Glazer of FOX Sports reports that despite visiting with the Broncos in recent days, free agent G Richie Incognito will not be signing with Denver right now.
Glazer mentions that the Broncos could revisit the idea following their match ups against the Rams and Dolphins over the next two weeks.
———-
Jay Glazer of FOX Sports is reporting that the Broncos brought in veteran G Richie Incognito for a workout and a visit on Monday.
- According to Glazer, the Broncos are doing their “full diligence” on Incognito.
- Jeff Darlington adds that Incognito has maintained a “strict workout regiment” in Arizona over the last several months.
Denver’s coaching staff reportedly spent time with Incognito in recent days to determine if he’s changed since his time with the Dolphins.
Glazer points out that the Broncos currently rank No. 26 in rushing and have had to shuffle their offensive line in recent weeks. The Broncos coaching staff is familiar with Incognito from coaching him during the Pro Bowl years ago.
According to Glazer, the Chiefs and Buccaneers brought him in for a visit earlier in the season, but both teams reportedly got “skittish” after numerous calls from people inside the NFL.
Incognito was at the center of the bullying scandal involving Jonathan Martin that led to Martin leaving the team indefinitely last year.
Incognito, 31, appeared in eight games last season before he was suspended indefinitely. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 24 guard in the league last year, and an above average player in both run and pass-blocking.
We’ll have more updates regarding the Broncos and Incognito as the news is available.

Richie played in the NFL for ten years and was NEVER a member of a winning team. What are the odds, unless you’re just a locker-room cancer? By the way, how are the Dolphins doing since he left?
There is room for only one alpha male in the Broncos locker room, and everyone in America, except maybe Richie, knows who it is. I can’t imagine Elway would allow Incognito in the locker room — the investigation to find out who killed Richie would last weeks.
We are trying to win a SUPER BOWL here, can’t some other team serve as this clowns REHAB assignment…we have enough problems with a disgruntled Franklin & Clark to import any more trouble…we had chances during the draft and we could have traded for Mankins but we went for a WR receiver instead…I am all for trading/signing an excellent O-Lineman but it seems a day late and dollar short for this season.
So- NO on incognito, there is too much of a downside that is guaranteed and NO guarantee of any upside…the LINE is ONE TEAM functioning together and this clown is going to take everything sideways guaranteed he may or may not play well but then factor in how the rookies and rest of the players will feel especially after we cut PRATER for having a few beers in his own home…so in my book if Prater is no good than this a$$hat certainly is not up to snuff for a certainty
