Bouye, who will turn 29 before the start the 2020 season, went undrafted in 2013 out the University Central Florida but later signed with the Houston Texans, where he spent the first four years his career. He joined the Jags in 2017, where he earned Pro Bowl honors opposite current Los Angeles Rams All Pro defensive back Jalen Ramsey. In 93 career games, Bouye has recorded 14 interceptions.
The Broncos finished 7-9 a season ago, and their four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Chris Harris is set to become an unrestricted free agent and he is expected to receive interest from a hoard teams. Needless to say, the addition Bouye will help Denver fill the void left behind by Harris if and when he signs elsewhere.
Also note, Jacksonville will now have a total 10 draft picks in the upcoming draft, including six in the first four rounds, according to Schefter.
