Broncos Sign Tycen Anderson to One-Year Deal to Fortify Special Teams

Denver fills a special-teams vacancy created by P.J. Locke’s exit.

Overview

  • Denver finalized a one-year agreement with the former Bengals safety after a brief round of conflicting reports was resolved.
  • Anderson arrives primarily as a kicking-game standout and depth at safety, set to compete with Devon Key and J.L. Skinner behind starters Brandon Jones and Talanoa Hufanga.
  • Bengals special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons praised Anderson as one of the league’s most productive gunners, underscoring Cincinnati’s loss.
  • The 2022 fifth-round pick played every game the past two seasons, logging 382 special-teams snaps in 2025 and limited defensive snaps as a rotational safety.
  • NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported the contract at one year and $1.5 million, aligning with a low-cost depth role.
