He started all 87 games he appeared in at right tackle for Sean Payton from 2011-17.Denver has had no such continuity.The right tackle job in 2022 was supposed to belong to free-agent addition Billy Turner, but offseason knee surgery kept him from appearing in a game until Week 6. Instead, Cam Fleming started the season opener after returning to the franchise as a free-agent signing just before ca...
