The Denver Broncos continued to add to their roster on Thursday as they have re-signed running back Kapri Bibbs and wide out Bennie Fowler, two ERFA’s.
With the Denver Broncos still looking at what they need for the NFL Draft, they have re-signed two key players on the offensive side.
Running Back Kapri Bibbs and Wide Receiver Bennie Fowler have agreed to re-sign under their exclusive rights free agent tenders on Thursday.

That marks five players that have re-signed with the team. Matt Paradis, Jordan Taylor, and Casey Kreiter re-signed on Monday.
Denver has success with finding some diamond in the rough players. Bennie Fowler and Kapri Bibbs are no exception.
While Fowler struggled in 2016, he saw some big catches during the Super Bowl run. A third down reception in the divisional round helped the Broncos score the go-ahead touchdown.
For Kapri Bibbs, he saw action during the 2016 season. He would score the Broncos longest touchdown that season on a 69 yard screen pass for his first score.
Something to keep an eye on with both of these players is where they fit in the offense.
With C.J. Anderson returning this season, Bibbs could find it challenging to get some playing time.
Bennie Fowler will be vying for some playing time as well. He struggled in 2016, but did catch two touchdowns.
I would say that either player will be doing their best to earn a roster spot. Depending on what the Broncos do in the draft could decide their fate.
If I were to give one of these players the best chance to earn a spot on the final 53, it would be Kapri Bibbs as of right now.

Jordan Taylor might be a surprise that could be the reason behind Fowler’s departure. The only way I see Bibbs out is if the Broncos draft a running back.
Either way, I can’t wait to see what happens with both players.
