Broncos Push for Singleton, Linebacker Room in Flux

0:00From NFL coverage, this is your March 8th update. The Denver Broncos just resigned linebacker Justin Strohnad to a $3-year $18 million deal. Now they're pushing hard to bring back Alex Singleton too, according to ESPN Insider Jeremy Fowler. General manager George Patton made it clear at the scouting combine that the team wants both guys, no matter how deep the linebacker draft class is. Here this week, reports surfaced about talks with Singleton's camp, and this latest update confirms that Broncos are all in on keeping him. Patton sees these players as core Broncos and doesn't want to let them walk, even with other options out there. Fans aren't always sold on Singleton because of some coverage issues and mistackles, but his teammates and coaches can't get enough of him. He's a team captain, the green dot caller on the league's top rank defense, and he beat cancer last year, which rallied everyone around him. Strohnad back, a Singleton deal could crowd the linebacker room, especially with veteran

Legal tampering opens tomorrow, so we'll know soon if Singleton stays. Keep an eye on the Broncos moves at linebacker, running back and tied in as free agency heats up.
