Broncos sign OT Matt Peart to 1-year contract

The Broncos are signing Matt Peart, a backup swing tackle who can provide cover on the offensive line.

The Denver Broncos are signing offensive tackle Matt Peart to a one-year contract, according to a report from KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis. Terms of the deal are not yet known.

Peart (6-7, 318 pounds) entered the league as a third-round pick out of UConn with the New York Giants in 2020. He dressed for 43 games over the last four years, earning seven starts.

Peart (26) started five games for the Giants in 2021. He was credited with allowing four sacks and was penalized three times in 421 snaps that season, according to Pro Football Focus. Peart served mostly as a backup from 2022-23.

Peart seems like a backup swing tackle candidate for the Broncos this year behind left tackle Garett Bolles and right tackle Mike McGlinchey. It remains to be seen if this means Denver won’t be re-signing backup swing tackle Cam Fleming, who remains a free agent.
