One way to improve the offense is stop the time-chewing run game on defense.

The Broncos continued to fortify their defensive line Monday by reaching agreement with veteran defensive tackle Angelo Blackson on a one-year contract, a source told Mike Klis of 9 News in Denver.

Blackson will be playing for his sixth NFL team as he is about to begin his 10th season. Blackson was the Tennessee Titans' fourth-round draft pick out of Auburn in 2015. He has also played for Houston, Arizona -- where his defensive coordinator was current Broncos' DC Vance Joseph -- Chicago and Jacksonville.

He joins former New Orleans' Saint Malcolm Roach along the Broncos revised defensive line. The Broncos allowed defensive linemen Jonathan Harris to become a free agent and sign with the Miami Dolphins. Veteran nose tackle Mike Purcell is also a free agent. 

The Broncos ranked No. 30 in run defense last year -- perhaps one reason why the Denver offense ranked No. 26 in total offense. To wit: Can't move the ball when the offense is on the sidelines.
