The Broncos have continued their offseason additions by adding defensive tackle Phil Taylor and tight end Richard Gordon.

Taylor was the 21st overall pick by the Cleveland Browns in the 2011 NFL draft. He spent four seasons with the Browns racking up 109 tackles and seven career sacks.

Taylor, 6’3 and 355 pounds, was released by the Cleveland Browns before the 2015 season due to his ineffectiveness on the field and chronic knee problems. Although he has not played in an NFL game in over a season, he has reportedly stayed in shape by working out for the Ravens, Vikings, and Steelers.

Taylor was one of eight players that took part in a December tryout with the Broncos, and performed well enough to show Elway and Co. that he could be a valuable asset to the defensive line.

Sometimes a change in scenery is all a player needs to revamp a career.

Gordon, who was also drafted in the 2011 NFL draft, spent the early part of the 2015 season with the Broncos before being waived on December 1. He has spent time with the Raiders, Titans, and Chiefs but has yet to spend valuable time with any club.

Primarily, Gordon is known for his blocking ability and could be a nice compliment to the Gary Kubiak offense. Gordon has played in 35 games during his five year career.

Depth at the tight end position can never be a bad thing.
