After spending his first four seasons as a member of the Houston Texans, Crick will rejoin former Houston coaches Wade Phillips and Bill Collar in the Mile High City. In limited playing time on a deep Houston defense, the former Nebraska Cornhusker played in 63 games, recording 146 combined tackles and 5.5 sacks.

Although the team has not yet released the details of the deal with the defensive end. NFL Network insider Ian Rappaport reports the two-year deal is worth $4 million.

The addition of Crick bolsters the Denver defensive line, which before Crick, had four defensive ends on the roster, Derek Wolfe, Vance Jackson, Kenny Anunike, and practice squad player George Uko. Crick is familiar with the system after playing under Phillips in Houston, and after losing Malik Jackson to the Jaguars, Crick is a big pickup for depth on the defensive line.

Crick missed most of his senior season at Nebraska, due to a knee injury and a torn pectoral muscle. Working to overcome those injuries, he had somewhat of a slow start to his NFL career. As Crick began to get healthier, Crick began to play up to his potential, starting 31 games over the last two seasons.

Even with the addition of Crick, Denver may look to draft a defensive end early in the draft this year. “Kubiak said at the NFL Annual Meeting last month in Boca Raton, Fla. that he expected the Broncos to draft at least one defensive end,” According to Denver Broncos staff writer Andrew Mason.

After the defense led the team to a Super Bowl championship in 2015, fans have seen many familiar faces leave the orange and blue this offseason. As the season gets closer, John Elway and Kubiak will look to fill the holes that have been created this offseason. Crick is a solid pickup for this Denver defense. Broncos fans will wait anxiously to see who the next addition is.
