The Denver Broncos signed veteran safety Taylor Rapp last week as they prepare for their Week 2 preseason matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Head Coach Sean Payton stated that the move was influenced by Rapp's availability rather than an urgent need. Rapp, a former second-round draft pick, has 93 career games with experience from previous playoff runs. The Broncos needed depth at the safety position after losing P.J. Locke to free agency, with in-house candidates failing to secure that role during the offseason. Rapp's addition aims to provide critical insurance within their defensive unit.
