Broncos Sign Two Players Not Named Moreno or Ayers

Rashod Moulton

With the official start of training camp mere hours away, the Denver Broncos front office kept busy Thursday negotiating contracts with several players. Two signed; unfortunately, neither was one of the team’s unsigned first round draft picks, Knowshon Moreno or Robert Ayers.

Cornerback Rashod Moulton re-joins the Broncos less than two months after being waived. The first-year player sat on the Broncos’ practice squad since October of last year. The club also re-signed rookie wide receiver Travis Shelton, who was also waived in June.

Welcome back guys, have fun in camp. Meanwhile, our first-rounders remain unsigned. Will they agree to terms before the start of practices Friday? The clock is ticking. Press release after the jump.
