Michael Woods Michael Woods Headed to Denver
Tue, May 12, 2026, 8:45 PM
The Broncos signed Woods on Monday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: Woods spent time on Green Bay's practice squad last season but was never elevated to the active roster. The 26-year-old last appeared in a regular-season game during the 2024 campaign with the Browns and will look to earn a spot on Denver's final roster. |

Bo Nix Bo Nix On track for minicamp
Sat, May 9, 2026, 2:50 PM
Head coach Sean Payton told reporters Saturday that Nix (ankle) will throw during mid-June minicamp and should be at full speed at training camp in July, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: Nix continues to progress in his recovery from surgery to repair a broken brone in his right ankle that he underwent in late January. The initial recovery timeline was 12 weeks, but the Broncos won't push the third-year quarterback too much during June's minicamp, with Jarrett Stidham expected to take the majority of snaps at that time, though Nix should be a full go for training camp. |

Agrees to deal with Broncos
Fri, May 8, 2026, 8:05 PM
Ross signed with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent Friday.
Analysis: Ross led UConn with 60 receptions for 723 yards as a true freshman, but that was way back in 2019. COVID wiped out his 2020 season, and injuries held him back in 2021 and 2022. Ross subsequently made a stop at James Madison before landing with Virginia in 2025 for his final college season. He finished with 53 receptions for 543 yards (third on the team) and two touchdowns. Ross also returned 22 punts for 171 yards (7.8 YPR) and eight kicks for 266 yards (33.3 YPR) and a touchdown. It's a crowded receiver room, so Ross will need to make a name for himself as a returner. |

Joseph Manjack Joseph Manjack Pens UDFA deal
Fri, May 8, 2026, 8:00 PM
Manjack signed with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent Friday.
Analysis: Manjack finished third on TCU in receptions (44), yards (579) and touchdowns (three) through 13 games in his fifth collegiate season. He'll join fellow undrafted rookie wide receivers Dane Key, Kolbe Katsis and Cameron Ross. Five receivers have likely already locked up spots on team, meaning Manjack is likely heading for the practice squad. |

Lands in Mile High City

Katsis signed with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent Friday.
Analysis: Katsis was dominant for Northern Arizona of the FCS last season, recording 95 receptions for 1,566 yards and 12 touchdowns over two seasons. He earned All-Big Sky First Team honors as a wide receiver and as a kick returner, as he averaged 30.6 yards per kick return while scoring once. The Broncos have a deep receiver corps, so Katsis likely will need to produce immediately as a returner to earn a 53-man roster spot. |

Dane Key Dane Key Links up with Broncos
Fri, May 8, 2026, 7:50 PM
Key signed with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent Friday.
Analysis: Key was immediately productive at Kentucky as a freshman, producing a 37-519-6 line. He never meaningfully improved from there, however, as he topped out with a 47-715-2 line in his junior year before regressing to a 39-452-5 mark in his senior year at Nebraska. The 22-year-old has intriguing size (6-foot-3, 210 pounds), but his 4.60 40-yard dash at his pro day was a bit disappointing. The Broncos' top-five wideout roles look locked up, meaning Key will need to flash in the offseason program and training camp to secure a roster spot. |

Pat Bryant Pat Bryant Spent offseason with training staff
Fri, May 8, 2026, 2:41 PM
Bryant said Friday that he spent almost the entire offseason in Denver rehabbing his hamstring injury and working with the training staff, Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post reports.
Analysis: Bryant was injured in Denver's season-ending loss to the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game. The 2025 third-round pick had 31 catches for 378 yards and one TD on 49 targets in 15 games during his rookie regular season. Bryant has regained health but will need to impress the coaching staff throughout training camp and the preseason to earn a prominent role in a deep wide receiver room that Denver bolstered by trading for Jaylen Waddle in the offseason while retaining Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin (hamstring), Marvin Mims and Bryant. |

Signs with Denver
Thu, Apr 30, 2026, 6:31 PM
Key signed his exclusive-rights free-agent tender with the Broncos on Thursday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Analysis: Once Denver made the tender offer, the safety had no choice but to remain with the team, or sit out the season. Key also was tendered by the Broncos for the 2025 campaign. He has appeared on more than 200 special-teams snaps in each of the last two regular seasons. |

Bo Nix Bo Nix Has clean-up procedure on ankle
Tue, Apr 28, 2026, 8:37 PM
During his scheduled re-check last week, Nix underwent what Ian Rapoport of NFL Network describes as a successful and anticipated follow-up clean-up procedure on his ankle.
Analysis: While Rapoport suggests that the Broncos figure to proceed deliberately with Nix this spring in the wake of the QB's recent procedure, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com notes that Nix is expected to be ready for training camp. Once he's ready to practice fully, Nix will be working with a Denver pass-catching corps that was bolstered by the offseason addition of WR Jaylen Waddle, who arrived via a trade with the Dolphins last month. |

Picked last by Broncos
Sat, Apr 25, 2026, 6:23 PM
The Broncos selected Murdock in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 257th overall.
Analysis: Murdock (6-foot-2, 232 pounds) is an example of a player with a poor athleticism grade but heaps of football ability otherwise. His skill level as a linebacker is uncommon, because in his last two years at Buffalo he accumulated 298 tackles, including 30 for a loss and 7.0 sacks. Murdock also somehow punched out 17 fumbles in his last three seasons. Very few collegiate linebackers live in the backfield as often as Murdock did. The limitation with Murdock is his athleticism, which grades below average thanks to a 4.79-second pro day 40 and poor jumps (31.5-inch vertical, 114-inch broad jump). Murdock already proved he can play if his athleticism can hold up at a given level of competition, so if he turns out a steal for the Broncos it wouldn't be fair to call it a complete surprise. |

Picked up by Broncos
Sat, Apr 25, 2026, 6:16 PM
The Broncos selected Bentley in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 256th overall.
Analysis: Bentley's big numbers from the 2025 season were undermined by the fact that he did next to nothing in any of the prior seasons, and by the time Bentley started producing for Utah he already had a big age advantage over most of the competition, cheapening the value of that otherwise noteworthy receiving production (48 catches for 620 yards and eight touchdowns on 80 targets). Even with quality workout metrics at 6-foot-4, 252 pounds, Bentley will likely begin his NFL career as a practice squad type yet will turn 26 this winter, so he doesn't have much development time on his side. |

The Broncos selected Scott in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 246th overall.
Analysis: Scott (6-foot, 203 pounds) will have his work cut out for him to compete for a depth role in Denver's secondary, but he boasts the size, ball skills (as a former wide receiver) and experience to find a role if he can make the most of his developmental opportunities. The 24-year-old started the final three seasons of his five-year career at Illinois. Expect Scott to kick off his rookie year competing with JL Skinner (shoulder), Devon Key and Tycen Anderson for depth reps at safety. |

Taken by Broncos
Sat, Apr 25, 2026, 1:40 PM
Denver selected Joly in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 152nd overall.
Analysis: Joly spent the last two years of his four-year college career at NC State, and he was named to the All-ACC First-Team in 2025 after catching 49 passes for 489 yards and seven touchdowns across 12 games. Joly was mostly detached from the offensive line with NC State and lined up primarily in the slot, making him a mismatch when lined up against opposing secondaries. His 6-foot-3 frame and large, strong hands helps him finish catches regardless of coverage, and he could earn himself regular snaps on offense if he can be more consistent as a blocker. Evan Engram leads the Broncos' tight end room, so Joly is set to compete against Adam Trautman and Nate Adkins for snaps as the TE2 and in 12-man personnel. |

The Broncos selected Casey in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 111th overall.
Analysis: Casey (6-foot-6, 310 pounds) played four years at Boise State and solidified himself as the team's starting left tackle over his final three seasons, concluding his collegiate career with 41 consecutive starts. While Casey boasts the experience and well-rounded skillset to tentatively contribute as a rookie, he could be more suited to a move inside at the NFL level. Denver's elite offensive line represents one of the few landing spots in the league where Casey could get the luxury of a transitional period to focus on his development, with Garett Bolles and Mike McGlinchey already locked in as this unit's top tackles. |

Welcomed by Denver
Sat, Apr 25, 2026, 11:41 AM
The Broncos selected Coleman in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 108th overall.
Analysis: Coleman is a bruising running back at 5-foot-8, 220 pounds. He led Washington in rushing in each of his final two seasons, combining for 1,811 yards (5.2 YPC) and 25 touchdowns while adding 54 receptions for 531 yards and two scores through 25 games. Coleman is quick but he isn't fast, and he produced more than 10 yards on just 20 of his 156 carries as a senior. He didn't run the 40-yard dash this spring, either. Still, players like Coleman have clear NFL utility, especially if they can catch passes. The 22-year-old can block in the pocket and run routes in the open field, so he projects as a potential short-yardage back who will chip in on passing downs as well. Coleman will battle Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie for a role behind J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey in 2026. |

The Broncos selected Onyedim in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 66th overall.
Analysis: Onyedim (6-foot-4, 292 pounds) wasn't especially disruptive in his four seasons at Iowa State, but he posted 8.5 tackles for loss in his fifth year, his one and only with Texas A&M, which is a solid mark for a tackle. He can play standard defensive tackle or end from a three-man front, as he has standout reach (34 and 1/8 inch arms) to pair with standout short-area explosiveness (32-inch vertical, 111-inch broad jump). |

Signs tender with Denver
Mon, Apr 20, 2026, 5:01 PM
Tillman signed his exclusive-rights tender with the Broncos on Monday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: Tillman was a productive part of the 2025 Broncos defense, playing 25 percent or more of the defensive snaps in all 17 regular-season games. The 27-year-old likely will maintain his rotational role for the team heading into the 2026 season on a new $1.075 million contract. |

J.K. Dobbins J.K. Dobbins Prioritized in free agency
Wed, Apr 8, 2026, 5:28 PM
Broncos coach Sean Payton said last week that Dobbins was "a priority ahead of all others" this offseason, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Payton went on to describe Dobbins as a "compound multiplier" who "brings 10 others along with him in positive light." The glowing comments came three weeks after Denver re-signed Dobbins to a two-year, $16 million contract. It's essentially a one-year deal, with $8 million guaranteed this year and then a team option for around $8 million in 2027. Broncos GM George Paton said last week that Dobbins has made a full recovery from his season-ending foot injury, noting that the RB might've even played in the Super Bowl if Denver had made it, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports. Dobbins and RJ Harvey figure to get most of the first-team backfield reps this spring, with Dobbins the current favorite to start Week 1. |

Bo Nix Bo Nix Ahead of schedule, per team owner
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 9:26 PM
Broncos owner Greg Penner said Monday that Nix is "ahead of schedule" in his recovery from right ankle surgery, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Analysis: Penner said in January that he had "zero concern" about Nix's recovery from a bone break in his right ankle, and the team owner echoed those comments Monday. "He's attacked his recovery in the same way that he attacks preparing for games and has just done a terrific job," Penner said of Nix. "He's ahead of schedule. No concerns at all for OTAs and go forward from there." Denver coach Sean Payton stated in February that he expects Broncos OTAs to start June 1, and Nix is trending toward being ready to participate by that date. |

Jaylen Waddle Jaylen Waddle Opens up cap space
Tue, Mar 24, 2026, 10:06 AM
Waddle agreed to terms Tuesday on a restructured contract with the Broncos that converts $15.4 million of his 2026 option bonus into a signing bonus, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Waddle's restructure opens up significant cap space for Denver. The Broncos acquired Waddle from Miami on March 17, and the 27-year-old wideout's explosiveness and athleticism should make him a dangerous 1-2 downfield punch alongside Courtland Sutton for quarterback Bo Nix in 2026. Head coach Sean Payton has praised Waddle's "grit" and "high, high [competitiveness]," as Andrew Mason of 104.3 The Fan reports. |
