Broncos Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
<p>The Broncos came out focused and aggressive in free agency, adding defensive linemen Justin Bannan, Jarvis Green and Jamal Williams within the first five days.</p>
<p>Williams might be the biggest coup. He's a run-plugging force in a 3-4 scheme, as the Broncos are all too familiar with from Williams' long tenure with division-rival San Diego. The question is his health.</p>
<p>Williams has been battling chronic knee pain for years, and missed almost all of last season with a triceps injury.</p>
<p>Green and Bannan are also veteran 3-4 linemen. Green comes over from New England, where he was unspectacular in 2009 when asked to start after Richard Seymour was traded to Oakland. Bannan was a valued reserve in Baltimore who started all 16 games as an injury replacement in 2008.
