Broncos Sign Hochstein and Lloyd

Posted Fri Mar 5th by

Hopefully this means Denver going to signing players mode. Both players both likely signed for the veteran minimum, but Brandon Lloyd likely got re-signed due to his performance in the final game of the season. While Russ Hochstein’s versatility allows him to play anywhere on the offensive line.

Wonder if there’s any specific need for the Denver Broncos to be solidifying their wide receiver position so early…

Press release after the click.

BRONCOS AGREE TO TERMS WITH OL HOCHSTEIN, WR LLOYD

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos on Friday agreed to terms with offensive lineman Russ Hochstein and wide receiver Brandon Lloyd, it was announced. As per club policy, terms of the deals were not disclosed.

Hochstein (6-foot-4, 305 pounds) is a 10th-year offensive lineman who played in 15 games (10 starts) in his first season with the Broncos in 2009 after he was acquired from New England in a trade on Aug. 25.

He has seen action in 121 career regular-season and playoff games, including 35 starts at five different positions.

Lloyd (6-foot-0, 194 pounds), who originally was signed by the Broncos on June 15, 2009, is an eighth-year wide receiver who played in two contests during the 2009 season, including a start in Denver’s regular-season finale against Kansas City.

He has played in 81 career regular-season games (48 starts) and has totaled 164 receptions for 2,370 yards (14.5 avg.) with 15 touchdowns.

    Why is it that there is news of every top FA on the market except Marshall? Peppers has offers and is heading to Chicago for a visit. Dansby is headed somewhere for a visit. Why no news on Marshall? Is it possible he is in negotiations with the Broncos? Is he stuck in Denver because of the trial? What the he11 is going on?

    Not a surprise we re-signed Hochstein, never particuarly impressive but he can play multiple positions so he's a useful backup especially seeing as we should be getting a few rookies in (plus he's an ex-patriot)
    Lloyd didn't get much playing time so wouldn't be surprised if he gets cut somewhere down the line but as you say, gives us a bit of stability.

    Marshall is a restricted free agent, I'm pretty sure Peppers and Dansby are unrestricted

    Teams can make an offer on Marshall, but the Broncos have tendered him. So as it stands at this moment, if the season were to begin this Sunday he would be in a Broncos uniform.
