Ronald Leary

The Denver Broncos signed former Dallas Cowboys guard Ronald Leary, and in the process, they solidified the interior of their offensive line and also made Denver a more attractive destination for Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo. More on that later.

Leary is a colossal guard with a PFF grade of 80.4. In addition, Leary is still in the prime of his career at age 28. Last season, the Broncos struggled in the middle of their offensive line.

Embedding Leary into the line quickly fixes that issue.

Furthermore, Leary also helps accomplish another item on the Broncos’ offseason wishlist.

Well, adding a former teammate and protector in Leary can help offset the scales in Denver’s favor.
