Free-agent DE Jared Crick (Broncos) worked out for the Buffalo Bills Monday, July 23, according to a source.
Footballguys view: Crick hasn't gotten much interest on the open market after missing the 2017 for the Broncos due to a back injury. Healthy now, Crick could provide a team with veteran depth as a rotational run stopper. |

Denver Broncos DEs Jared Crick (back) and Zachariah Kerr (knee) have been ruled out for Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Footballguys view: The Broncos rush defense is going to be tested on Monday night against the Chargers. Opposite Derek Wolfe on the defensive line, we'll see a rotation of guys like Adam Gotsis and Shelby Harris. |

Denver Broncos DE Jared Crick (back) has been diagnosed with back spasms and is expected to be sidelined for one to two weeks.

Denver Broncos DT Jared Crick (back) was carted off the practice field Monday, Aug. 14, after suffering an apparent back injury. He will have an MRI to determine the severity of the injury.
Footballguys view: Crick looked to be in a lot of pain getting off the cart and heading into the locker room. The Broncos defensive line is already thin with Derek Wolfe (ankle) banged up. Denver's run defense was weak last year, and if Wolfe/Crick miss time in the regular season it won't get any better. |
Jared Crick player page

Denver Broncos DE Adam Gotsis and DE Derek Wolfe have each added 20 pounds this offseason, while DE Jared Crick has added 15 pounds and plans to add another five pounds. Crick said the linemen are adding weight because they were undersized last season.
Footballguys view: The Broncos run defense was their weakness last year. Bulking up in the front line will help counteract the natural inclination of opponents to tangle with the Denver defense on the ground instead of through the air. |

Free-agent DE Jared Crick (Texans) signed a two-year deal with the Denver Broncos Wednesday, April 6.
Footballguys view: Crick started opposite J.J. Watt in Houston but he wasn't able to generate much pressure. He'll serve as a rotational player for the Broncos defensive line, and we think they'll still look for Malik Jackson's replacement in the draft. |

Houston Texans impending free-agent DE Jared Crick is expected to receive interest from the Texans leading up to free agency. Crick likely will receive interest from several teams if he hits the free-agent market.
Footballguys view: Any team looking for a quality run-stuffer will be interested in Crick. The market is going to be jam-packed at defensive end, so Crick's price might not be as high as some think. We'll see if the Texans can pull off a deal to keep him around. |
