The Denver Broncos have signed 34-year-old right tackle Demar Dotson to fill the roster spot that was created when Ja’Wuan James opted out of the 2020 season. Dotson received a one-year deal worth _.
Dotson will compete with Elijah Wilkinson at right tackle, bringing 10 years of experience to Denver. The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers tackle has demonstrated moments of strong play in the run game:
Dotson also has some good film in pass protection:
Unfortunately, not all of the footage on Dotson looks good.
Dotson was partially responsible for allowing this sack in 2018:
Despite his incredible size (6-9, 315 pounds), Dotson appears to sometimes struggle against bull rushes.
It’s clear that Dotson is not a perfect tackle. He might not even be an upgrade over Wilkinson. He’s experienced, though, and Dotson will give the Broncos more depth at right tackle at the very least.
After signing Dotson, Denver still has two open spots on the roster.
