The Indianapolis Colts have signed free agent offensive lineman Matt Slauson.
Terms of the deal were not immediately available.
The addition of the 6-foot-5 Corey Linsley Jersey , 315-pound Slauson may finally help solidify the interior of a line that has struggled to protect Andrew Luck since he entered the league in 2012. He has played both guard and center.
Slauson has started 108 games since being selected by the New York Jets in the sixth round of the 2009 draft. He spent his first four seasons with the Jets, joined the Chicago Bears in 2013 and then wound up with San Diego in 2016. He played two seasons with the Chargers, who moved to Los Angeles last season.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) Pat Bowlens nomination for the Pro Football Hall of Fame is a jolt of good news for a franchise thats had little to cheer in the 30 months since winning Super Bowl 50.
Peyton Manning retired. Gary Kubiak resigned. Paxton Lynch flopped.
The Broncos have lost 18 times over the last two seasons and went 5-11 in coach Vance Josephs first year in 2017.
Last month, Bowlens wife, Annabel, announced she has Alzheimers, a disease which led her husband to give up control of the team four years ago Rick Leonard Jersey , and earlier this month former personnel executive Tom Heckert died at 51 following a long illness.
On Thursday, Bowlen and Gil Brandt were nominated for enshrinement in Canton as contributors to the game.
To get in, they need fourth-fifths of the vote from a 48-member panel that will meet on the eve of the Super Bowl in Atlanta in February.
In recent years, Bowlen has seen several of his former players get into the Hall of Fame , including Terrell Davis, Gary Zimmerman and Shannon Sharpe.
Were absolutely thrilled for Pat and the entire Bowlen family, Broncos president and CEO Joe Ellis said. Theres no question Pat elevated the NFL, the Broncos and our region over the last three decades. Hes always had such modesty and humility Marshon Lattimore Jersey , but hes incredibly deserving of this selection and we appreciate the contributor committee nominating him. Its very special to see Pat take such a significant step toward the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Bowlens credentials include both on-field success and behind-the-scenes triumphs.
He was the first NFL owner to win 300 games, including playoffs, in his first three decades and he has more Super Bowl appearances (seven) than losing seasons (six) since buying the team in 1984.
Under his stewardship, the Broncos have won Super Bowls following the 1997, 1998 and 2015 seasons.
He also chaired 15 NFL committees, more than any other owner except for Hall of Famers Dan Rooney (1 and Lamar Hunt (16). Bowlen helped negotiate record-breaking TV contracts as chairman of the NFL Broadcasting Committee and as a member of the NFL Management Executive Committee hes helped the league enjoy decades of labor peace.
When you talk about contributors, nobodys given more to the game than Pat Bowlen, general manager John Elway tweeted. His impact on the Broncos and NFL will never be matched Nate Solder Jersey , and its great to see that recognized today. I cant wait for the day Pats bust joins the Bronco family in the @ProFootballHOF!
The Broncos have averaged 10.2 wins a year in 34 seasons under Bowlen, whose 348 wins are fifth all-time among owners. During his tenure, the Broncos have posted the second-best regular season winning percentage (.603) in the league and the third-best mark among all 122 major North American sports teams.
Bowlen has never had consecutive losing seasons in his tenure and is the only NFL owner to reach the Super Bowl with four different head coaches.
Following Denvers 31-24 victory over Green Bay for the franchises first championship, Bowlen famously hollered, This ones for John! something the Hall of Fame QB called the greatest moment of his playing career.
Elway the executive returned the favor on Feb. 7, 2016, when he jabbed the silver trophy into the sky after Denvers 24-10 win over Carolina and declared, This ones for Pat.
That came 18 months after Alzheimers forced Bowlen to step down from his daily duties running the team.
Only a handful of current Broncos Von Miller Khairi Fortt Jersey , Chris Harris Jr., Demaryius Thomas, Derek Wolfe and Brandon Marshall were on the roster when Bowlen was still making daily treks to team headquarters.
We have a young team, especially this year, Joseph said. Obviously we talk about Mr. B all the time around here. In our team room theres a big picture of Mr. B, so theyre aware of who he is.
Outside the teams new meeting rooms is a large picture of Bowlen with his legacy quote: I want us to be number 1 in everything.
