Free-agent safety David Bruton has generated interest from multiple teams and has had “really good” talks with the Broncos, according to an NFL source.

Although talks have been encouraging, negotiations haven’t been serious yet.

Last month, shortly after Super Bowl 50, Bruton made it clear he would love to stay in Denver, but remained open to other opportunities, knowing the team had a long list of free-agent decisions and believing his performance last season warranted a bump in pay.

“I’m open to staying. I love it out here,” he said. “I’ve been here for seven years, I’ve been through two contracts here. But I’m getting old now. I definitely would love to stay here. I’m open though.”

Bruton, a three-year team captain and the Broncos’ 2015 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year, played a pivotal role in the secondary as injuries and a suspension sidelined starting safeties T.J. Ward and Darian Stewart for multiple games. Bruton recorded career highs with 43 tackles (31 solo), two interceptions, one sack, seven passes defended and two forced fumbles last season, which ended early because of a leg injury.

Since 2009, when he was drafted in the fourth round by Denver, Bruton has also led the team with 49 total special-teams tackles.

Running back C.J. Anderson drawing interest

Restricted free-agent running back C.J. Anderson has drawn interest from multiple teams after receiving a low-round tender from the Broncos, according to an NFL source.

The tender gives him $1.671 million for 2016 and gives the Broncos the right to match any offer sheet Anderson might sign with another team. It they don’t match within five days, they will not receive compensation.

The use of a low-round tender was somewhat surprising for a player who led his team in yards rushing (1,569), carries (331) and touchdowns rushing (13) over the past two seasons and was selected to the 2014 Pro Bowl.

The Miami Dolphins are likely to be interested in Anderson, as top rusher Lamar Miller reached an agreement with the Houston Texans and new Dolphins coach Adam Gase was Anderson’s offensive coordinator in Denver from 2013-14. The New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers and Chicago Bears also could be in the mix.

New offensive tackle contract with Donald Stephenson

The Broncos agreed to terms with offensive tackle Donald Stephenson late Tuesday, ushering in a new face on a line that has undergone numerous shifts in the last couple of years.

Stephenson’s three-year deal is worth $14 million and includes a $3 million signing bonus for a total of $6 million guaranteed. Stephenson will earn a salary of $3 million for 2016 and $4 million in 2017. His $4 million for 2018 is not guaranteed.

Stephenson played his four-year career with the Kansas City Chiefs and will vie for the starting job at either tackle spot for the Broncos.
