Free-agent RB Mike Boone (Vikings) signed a two-year contract worth $2.6 million with the Denver Broncos Wednesday, March 17, according to a source. The deal reportedly includes a $1.6 million signing bonus.

Footballguys View: Boone is a big play waiting to happen. New Broncos GM George Paton spent over a decade with the Vikings, so he knows Boone’s game well. Boone will fill in behind Melvin Gordon in the Broncos offense. If the team keeps Phillip Lindsay, then the two will compete for that spot in the rotation.
