ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – The Broncos have officially added depth to their offensive line.
Denver signed judge Demar Dotson on a one-year contract, the team announced Tuesday.
The Broncos brought in Dotson, an 11-year veteran, for a visit over the weekend. Dotson was required to take multiple COVID-19 tests and a physical before he could officially sign.
A former starter for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Dotson has played 54 total games over the last four seasons and 15 games in each of the last two years.
According to Pro Football Focus, Dotson ranked 25th in pass-blocking and 15th in run-blocking under tackles that hit at least 800 snaps in 2019. He allowed just five sacks last season, according to PFF.
Dotson should provide depth on the right side of the offensive line, which took a hit last week when starter Ja’Wuan James announced he would retire from the 2020 season. Elijah Wilkinson, who started 12 games on straight tackle for the Broncos in 2019, seems to have the advantage of earning the starting position for right-handed approach for Denver.
The Southern Mississippi product is a 6-foot-9, 315-pound player.
