Broncos Wire’s 90-man offseason roster series continues today with a look at eighth-year offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey, No. 69.
Before the Broncos: McGlinchey (6-8, 315 pounds) entered the league as a first-round pick out of Notre Dame with the San Francisco 49ers in 2018. McGlinchey started all 16 games in his first season and made the PFWA All-Rookie Team. The following year, McGlinchey missed four games due to injury.
McGlinchey started all 16 games again in 2020, but he missed half of the 2021 campaign with a torn quadriceps. In the final year of his contract with the 49ers, McGlinchey started all 17 games in 2022.
Broncos tenure: Denver signed McGlinchey to a five-year, $87.5 million contract last offseason. He started all but one game and allowed six sacks in 2023, according to Pro Football Focus.
Chances to make the 53-man roster: Lock. McGlinchey’s right tackle job is safe, in part because the Broncos would lose $39.1 million if he’s cut. The 29-year-old veteran enters his second year in Denver as a lock to make the team.
