The Broncos are setting up a punting competition this offseason.
The club on Wednesday signed free agent Trenton Gill, multiple sources confirmed to The Post. 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 had a tryout with Denver on Wednesday, a source said, and the team moved promptly to sign him.
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).

“He was pretty sick last game,” defense partner Cale Makar said before coach Jared Bednar confirmed Toews’ return.

Pose a Rockies- or MLB-related question for the Rockies Mailbag.

It was untreated anxiety and depression that Colorado Avalanche defenseman Samuel Girard blamed for his alcohol abuse, a problem that reached the point where he needed to step away from hockey.
He made a decision to leave the Avalanche and enter the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program earlier this season.
Revenge games provide a platform for players to show why they should have won MVP honors. Nikola Jokic staged a revenge game to show why he did win MVP honors.
The premise was that the Minnesota Timberwolves were trying to reconnect in this series after getting skunked twice at home. They exuded confidence, convinced Tuesday would be different.
Then it became Jokic vs.
All in a day’s work, Nikola Jokic dodged questions about his aggression against Rudy Gobert, exhibited gentle embarrassment at being called a genius by his coworkers, then referred to himself as a freak of nature with a complete poker face.
That was at the podium. On the court, he passed behind his back to perimeter shooters, behind his back to the baseline dunkers, over the top of five defenders for Hail Mary touchdowns.
