Broncos signing tackle who could see starting work in the fall

Cameron Fleming played out another one-year Broncos contract, leaving the team’s swing tackle position open. Sean Payton and Co. have identified a candidate for the gig.

Denver is bringing in Matt Peart on a one-year deal, ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter passes along. Peart played out his four-year Giants rookie contract, working mostly as a backup in that span. Although the Broncos have parted with a few high-profile starters this offseason, tackles Garett Bolles and Mike McGlinchey remain in place.

Broncos signing tackle who could see starting work

Fleming played the past three seasons with the Broncos. While tackle injuries forced the veteran swingman into action frequently in 2021 and ’22, Bolles and McGlinchey stayed healthy last season. Fleming only made one start, as Bolles played 17 games and McGlinchey 16. Denver’s offensive line was one of the league’s healthiest units, with only one starter – McGlinchey – missing time. The six-year right tackle was only down for one game, representing a bounce-back effort for a Broncos team littered with injuries up front during Nathaniel Hackett‘s brief stint in charge the year prior.

A 2020 third-round pick, Peart won the Giants’ swing job out of training camp last year. He did not see too much time despite the Giants running into an injury spree up front. Despite Andrew Thomas missing time and Evan Neal being down for the second half of the season, Peart made only one start – in Week 18 – during his contract year.

The UConn alum started seven games over the course of his Giants tenure – five in 2021 – but cleared the 150-snap threshold in just one season. The Broncos could be in the mix to draft a potential left tackle heir apparent this year, as Bolles’ contract expires after the 2024 season. For now, however, Peart would be positioned as the team’s swing tackle.
