Paton knew Boone well from his time in Minnesota where he was an executive for the last 14 years. Boone joins a backfield somewhat in flux. Melvin Gordon is entering the final season of his two-year deal and restricted free agent Phillip Lindsay was tendered with a right-of-first refusal contract and might draw interest outside of Denver.
