Richie Incognito met with the Denver Broncos on Tuesday, according to reports. The former Miami Dolphins offensive lineman has not appeared in an NFL game since Week 9 of the 2013 season after being suspended and eventually released by his former team when he became the focal point of the Jonathan Martin bullying scandal.

According to Jeff Darlington of NFL.com, a signing isn't imminent, but sources say that meetings are "going great so far." The Broncos currently possess the NFL's 26th-ranked rushing offense at 96.8 yards per game and 3.7 yards per carry. Coaches reshuffled the offensive line ahead of the team's Week 10 win over the Oakland Raiders to positive effect, but it appears that the Broncos are still open to reinforcement.
Incognito established himself as a quality offensive guard in Miami. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2012, where he was coached by Broncos head coach John Fox for the AFC squad.
Although Incognito’s addition to Denver’s roster could help the team, it could also be met with skepticism. A report released by independent investigator Ted Wells in February revealed the extent of Incognito’s harassment of Martin, which included explicit sexual and racial insults that reportedly contributed to the decline of Martin’s mental health.
