The Denver Broncos shipped off a fourth round pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars to get A.J Bouye, and general manager John Elway is pumped to get him on board. The veteran defensive back will be a big addition to the Broncos defense, and Elway thinks he is a great addition to the defense.

“We’re excited to be able to announce a trade with Jacksonville for A.J. Bouye,” Elway said via the Broncos Wire. “He’s a great fit in Vic’s system with his instincts, ball skills, toughness and ability to play in a defense that mixes coverages.

“In addition to having the size on the outside to match up against larger receivers, A.J. is an excellent tackler. He’s a complete cornerback who gives us what we need in both pass coverage and against the run.”

Bouye will have the large task of trying to replace Chris Harris Jr. who signed with the Los Angeles Chargers. Bouye, like Harris, went undrafted out of college.

The Broncos have been busy the last couple of days trying to reshape the team in hopes they can get back into the playoffs. The Broncos traded for Pro Bowl defensive lineman Jurrell Casey from the Tennessee Titans and the team is also signing guard Graham Glasgow.

Bouye said he has has a good relationship with new teammate Kareem Jackson, and he said he is going to start looking to connect with his new teammates soon.

“I was going to start linking up with those guys when I got there,” Bouye said.
