The Facts: Barring the unexpected, it appears Riddick will sign with the Broncos later this week, a source tells Mike Klis of KUSA.

Diehards Line: The deal is expected to get done later this week, so as Profootballtalk.com suggests, it may be a case of the team finalizing the details once they get back from Thursday night's Hall of Fame game in Canton. Riddick visited with the Saints in addition to the Broncos after being released by the Lions last month. Riddick joins a backfield led by Phillip Lindsay. It also features Royce Freeman and Devontae Booker and Riddick’s arrival may not bode well for their bid for playing time. Riddick is likely ticketed for a role on passing downs and that could leave little work for others if Lindsay remains as productive as he was last year.
