The Broncos kicked off their voluntary offseason workout program Monday by bolstering their secondary.
Safeties Shiloh Keo and Brandian Ross both signed one-year contracts, helping to fill the voids left by David Bruton (Washington) and Omar Bolden (Chicago) in free agency.
Keo signed with the Broncos as a street free agent on Dec. 9 when injuries depleted the safety corps. A four-year veteran who spent his first three seasons in Houston, Keo appeared in four regular-season games for the Broncos saving his finest play for last. In Denver’s regular-season finale against San Diego, Keo had a fourth-quarter interception of Philip Rivers to help seal the win and earn a No. 1 seed in the playoffs.
Ross entered the league with Green Bay as an undrafted free agent out of Youngstown State in 2011 and has played for four teams since, including Oakland, Miami and San Diego. After two stints on the Packers’ practice squad, he joined the Raiders’ active roster in 2012.
Ross has started 24 (all with the Raiders) of his career 45 games and has totaled 150 tackles, nine passes defended, two interceptions and two sacks.
