Jamaal Charles was in Denver visiting with the Broncos on Tuesday, and it sounds like the veteran running back will be signing with the team if all goes to plan.
Troy Renck of Denver7 is reporting that the Broncos will likely sign Charles to an incentive-laden contract if he can pass a physical.

With the Broncos still having C.J. Anderson as their starting running back, Charles would likely play a complimentary role. His visit to Denver was just his second of the offseason after he visited Seattle in March, so the market does not appear to be very hot for the 30-year-old.
Charles has only played in eight games over the past two seasons and has had problems with both knees. However, there’s no debating he has been one of the most explosive players in football when healthy. If his knees cooperate, Charles could provide the Broncos with a deadly home-run threat.
If Charles does end up signing with Denver, his only issue may be finding a jersey number. We recently learned how the veteran who currently wears No. 25 for the Broncos feels about giving up his jersey.
