Casey Kreiter’s roster spot might be in jeopardy.
The Broncos plan to sign long snapper Jacob Bobenmoyer, according to a report from KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis. Kreiter is about to become a free agent and Klis reports that, as of last week, he had not heard anything from Denver.
If the Broncos are planning to move on from Kreiter, Bobenmoyer appears to be the frontrunner to replace him. Bobenmoyer (6-2, 238 pounds) was a long snapper and rotational edge rusher at Northern Colorado from 2015-2018.
Bobenmoyer forced three quarterback hurries and totaled eight tackles as a senior and was invited to the East-West Shrine Game. Denver invited him to rookie minicamp last spring but he did not receive a contract offer.
Last December, the Broncos had Bobenmoyer back at their facility for another tryout. He didn’t receive a future contract offer then but Denver kept him in mind and the team now plans to sign him.
Bobenmoyer would be cheaper than Kreiter, a one-time Pro Bowler, but he’s also inexperienced. There’s a chance that the Broncos are making this move to generate more leverage in negotiations with Kreiter. The new league year — and the start of NFL free agency — will begin on March 18.
