Welcome to NFL Free Agency, Broncos Fans!
The NFL free agency period is officially heating up, and for Denver Broncos fans, this is one of the most exciting times of the year! With teams able to negotiate with pending free agents from other clubs starting Monday at 12 p.m. ET (10 a.m. MT), the anticipation is building. However, deals won’t become official until the NFL’s new league year kicks off on Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET (2 p.m. MT).
Broncos' Salary Cap and Key Needs
Denver is entering free agency with about $40.5 million in available salary cap space, giving them a solid budget to make some strategic moves. The front office has already checked off one box by re-signing backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham on Sunday. But there are still six key positions the Broncos need to address this offseason, including:
-
Linebacker
-
Safety
-
Defensive Line
-
Running Back
-
Tight End
-
Wide Receiver
Fans should keep a close watch on these areas as the Broncos make their moves in the coming days.
Broncos Free Agency Signings (Official Wednesday)
The team has wasted no time locking in some talent. Here are the latest confirmed additions:
-
S Talanoa Hufanga (3 years)
-
LB Dre Greenlaw (3 years)
-
WR Trent Sherfield (2 years)
These signings bring much-needed depth and experience to the Broncos' roster. Hufanga, in particular, adds a strong presence to the secondary, while Greenlaw bolsters the linebacker corps. Sherfield will provide an extra target in the passing game.
Free Agent Targets to Watch
While some deals are already in place, Denver is still eyeing additional talent. Some players reportedly on their radar include:
-
TE Evan Engram (visit scheduled)
-
LB Denzel Perryman (expressed interest)
If the Broncos can land Engram, it would be a huge upgrade at tight end, giving the offense another weapon to work with.
Broncos Players Re-Signed
Denver has also focused on retaining key players from last season. The following players have inked new deals to stay with the team:
-
QB Jarrett Stidham (2 years)
-
LS Mitchell Fraboni (3 years)
-
DL D.J. Jones (3 years)
-
OT Matt Peart (2 years)
-
CB Ja’Quan McMillian (1 year)
-
TE Lucas Krull (1 year)
-
OLB Dondrea Tillman (1 year)
-
DL Jordan Jackson (1 year)
-
DB Devon Key (1 year)
These moves show that the Broncos are committed to building consistency while also making key upgrades.
Broncos Players Departing to Other Teams
With free agency comes inevitable departures. Some former Broncos have found new homes, including:
-
CB Tremon Smith – Houston Texans
-
LB Cody Barton – Tennessee Titans
-
QB Zach Wilson – Miami Dolphins
-
RB Javonte Williams – Dallas Cowboys
-
P Riley Dixon – Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Seeing Williams head to Dallas stings, as he was a crucial part of the backfield. But with new opportunities on the horizon, Denver will be looking to fill those gaps effectively.
Broncos Unsigned Free Agents
A handful of players from last year’s roster remain unsigned, and their futures are still up in the air:
-
FB Michael Burton
-
OL Quinn Bailey
-
WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey
-
LB Justin Strnad
-
LB Zach Cunningham
These players may still re-sign with Denver, but they could also seek opportunities elsewhere in the league.
Possible Trades and Roster Cuts
The Broncos have yet to make any big trades or release players, but as free agency unfolds, expect some tough decisions. Denver’s front office is carefully evaluating how to balance the roster while maximizing cap space. Stay tuned!
