So when a local potato and barley farmer named Brandon Rogers decided he was ready to get hitched, he chose an option many young hopefuls do these days: reality TV.

The Broncos are setting up a punting competition this offseason. Denver on Wednesday signed free agent Trenton Gill, the team announced. Gill spent the past two seasons as Chicago’s punter but was waived after the Bears drafted Tory Taylor in the fourth round last month.

Gill should provide real competition for Riley Dixon, who punted in all 17 games for Denver last year. Gill checked in slightly behind Dixon last year in yards per punt (46.3 to 46.1) and well behind in net yards per punt (41.5 yards to 38).

By SEUNG MIN KIM and COLLEEN LONG (The Associated Press) WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration is preparing more changes to the nation’s asylum system meant to speed up processing and potential removal of migrants who continue to arrive at the southern border, an interim step as President Joe Biden continues to mull a broader executive order to crack down on border crossings that may come later this year. The change under consideration would allow certain migrants who are arriving at the border now to be processed first through the asylum system rather than going to the back of the line, according to four people familiar with the proposal.
