The Broncos and Hillman have reportedly exchanged contract proposals, 9news.com reports.
More than a month into free agency, Hillman remains unsigned and given that he has been unable to land a lucrative deal elsewhere, a return to the Broncos is beginning to appear more and more plausible. If that happens though, Hillman would be in line to serve in a complementary role behind C.J. Anderson, with the report further suggesting that the Broncos are expected to add running back help via the draft later this month.
