The Denver Broncos have signed offensive lineman Calvin Throckmorton (27) to a one-year contract, the team announced Monday.
Throckmorton (6-5, 311 pounds) entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Oregon with the New Orleans Saints in 2020. The versatile offensive lineman played all five spots on the offensive line with the Ducks before joining the Saints as a guard.
After spending his rookie season on the practice squad, Throckmorton started 14 games in New Orleans in 2021 (coach Sean Payton’s final season with the Saints). He then started six games in 2022 before being waived after training camp in 2023.
The Carolina Panthers claimed Throckmorton off waivers last summer and he started seven games before being cut halfway through the season. He was then claimed by the Tennessee Titans and dressed for six games.
The Broncos already have their two guard spots covered with Quinn Meinerz and Ben Powers, so Throckmorton will be a backup in Denver unless the team plans to move him to center (he spent some time at center in college).
After previously signing offensive tackle Matt Peart to a one-year deal, the Broncos have now shored up their offensive line depth ahead of the draft. We are tracking all of Denver’s free agent signings on Broncos Wire.
