Broncos tendered exclusive rights free agents RB Lance Ball, P Britton Colquitt, and OT Chris Clark.
Ball closed out last season as the passing-down complement to Willis McGahee. The Broncos are expected to seek an upgrade for McGahee's running mate in 2012. Boosted by Denver's thin air, Britton graded out as Pro Football Focus' top-ranked punter last season.
Mar 12 - 10:55 PM
Source:
Denver Post
Lance Ball rushed nine times for 24 yards in Denver's Week 17 loss to the Chiefs.
A typically plodding day for a back who's had trouble taking advantage of the Broncos' run-heavy attack this season. An impending exclusive rights free agent, Ball finishes 2011 with 96 rushes for 402 yards and 16 catches for 148 yards. Depending on how Knowshon Moreno's recovery from a torn ACL goes this offseason, Ball might not be brought back to back-up an aging and fragile Willis McGahee in 2012.
Jan 1 - 9:05 PM
Broncos RB Lance Ball rushed four times for 12 yards in the team's Week 16 loss to Buffalo.
Ball was involved early in the game, apparently in an effort to spell Willis McGahee. He did not get the football at all in the final two quarters, however. Ball will continue to be McGahee's change-of-pace back in Week 17 against the Chiefs.
Sat, Dec 24, 2011 05:08:00 PM
Lance Ball carried the ball 11 times for 64 yards and a touchdown in Week 15, adding two catches for 41 yards in Denver's loss to the Patriots.
Ball also lost a critical fumble. With Willis McGahee in-and-out of the game with a leg injury, Ball racked up his largest yardage total of the season. Most of his damage came on two plays, a 32-yard touchdown run in the first quarter and 34-yard reception in the fourth. Ball is a load to bring down in the open field, but lacks the athleticism to get out in space on a consistent basis. He'll be a low-end RB2 if McGahee can't give it a go in Week 16.

Knowshon Moreno (ACL surgery) is participating in Broncos OTAs.
He appears to be ahead of schedule. Moreno had been discussed as a PUP candidate before the draft, following a November tear of his right ACL. Sliding down the depth chart, Moreno still has a fight ahead to crack the Broncos' 53.

Broncos TE Julius Thomas underwent surgery last week to repair ligaments in his ankle.
Surgery was performed by noted foot doctor Robert Anderson. Thomas will be limited throughout Denver's offseason program, but should be healthy in time for training camp. A former basketball player and fourth-round pick in 2011, Thomas finished his rookie season with one catch. He'll vie for playing time with Virgil Green and Joel Dreessen behind Jacob Tamme this summer.

Virgil Green
Suspended
Broncos TE Virgil Green will not appeal his four-game suspension for violating the league's banned substances policy.
Green was suspended for ADHD. He took it "prior to obtaining an exemption from the league," and says he now has that exemption and is free to take ADHD going forward. "I apologize to my teammates, coaches and fans for my mistake," said Green, "and will make sure to never let anything like this happen again."
