The Broncos signed former Vikings running back and special teams player Mike Boone to a two-year deal worth $2.6 million guaranteed, The Gazette confirmed Wednesday, after 9News first reported the news.
Von Miller’s option picked up by Broncos, star to stay in Denver
Boone played three seasons in Minnesota, where he rushed for 379 yards and four touchdowns, while also playing a key role on special teams. The undrafted running back out of Cincinnati did flash in his 2019 start versus the Bears, in which he ran for 148 yards and a touchdown.
While he was Minnesota’s third-string running back, Boone will likely have the opportunity to compete for the backup role behind Melvin Gordon in Denver, with Phillip Lindsay possibly leaving after receiving an original-round tender Monday.
