90-Man Offseason Roster – Syndication Server

Broncos have 61 players under contract in 2024

Ahead of the start of NFL free agency, the Broncos have 61 players under contract.

With NFL free agency right around the corner, the Denver Broncos have 16 players scheduled to become free agents. Some of those in-house free agents will be re-signed, but the Broncos probably can’t afford to keep all of them.

Meanwhile, Denver has 61 players under contract for the 2024 season.

There are a few caveats for that number — 14 of the players listed below are reserve/future contract signees. They will not officially join the 90-man offseason roster until the new league year begins on March 13. That’s just a formality, though, so we’ve included those players as “under contract.”

Another caveat to note is that these players are under contract as of today, but their statuses could change quickly. The Broncos are expected to release quarterback Russell Wilson in March, for example, and the team could trade a few players to acquire more draft capital this spring.

With those notes in mind, here is the full list of Denver’s 61 players under contract for the 2024 NFL season.

Broncos beef up defensive line with 14th reserve/future signing

The Broncos added some depth to their defensive line by signing Rashard Lawrence (308 pounds) to a reserve/future contract.

The Denver Broncos added some depth to their defensive line on Wednesday by signing Rashard Lawrence to a reserve/future contract. Lawrence was eligible to sign a future deal because he was not on an active roster at the end of his 2023 season.

Lawrence (6-2, 308 pounds) will officially join Denver’s 90-man offseason roster when the NFL’s new league year begins in March. He entered the league as a fourth-round pick out of LSU with the Arizona Cardinals in 2020.

Lawrence played under Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph in Arizona from 2020-2022, totaling 30 tackles (four behind the line) and one forced fumble in 25 games (13 starts). He spent time with the Miami Dolphins, Carolina Panthers and Houston Texans in 2023.

Denver’s list of upcoming in-house free agents includes defensive linemen Mike Purcell and Jonathan Harris. Meanwhile, D.J. Jones is set to have a salary cap hit just shy of $13 million in 2024 and the Broncos could save almost $10 million if they part ways with Jones this spring.

Denver needed more depth on the defensive line, and Lawrence is a good start. The team previously signed 13 other players to reserve/future deals. View all of the offseason additions below.

Broncos sign 12 players to reserve/future contract

The Broncos signed 12 players to reserve/future contracts on Monday. They will officially join the 90-man offseason roster in March.

Following the conclusion of their 2023 season, the Denver Broncos have signed 12 players to reserve/future contracts.

Perhaps the most notable signing is that of quarterback Ben DiNucci, who spent all of the 2023 season on the practice squad and was elevated to Denver’s game-day roster three times.

With Russell Wilson expected to be released in March, DiNucci and Jarrett Stidham will be left as the Broncos’ two quarterbacks going into 2024. Denver will likely add at least one more QB, either through free agency or the draft (or both) this spring.

Players who were not on an active roster at the end of the season are eligible to sign reserve/future contracts (every player on the practice squad is eligible, for example). These players will officially join the 90-man offseason roster when the NFL’s new league year begins on March 13.

Here’s a look at the 12 players the Broncos have signed to future deals.

Broncos’ 90-man roster for 2nd preseason game vs. 49ers

Here is a look at the Broncos’ 90-man offseason roster ahead of their preseason game against the 49ers tonight.

Welcome back, Denver Broncos football!

The Broncos will continue their preseason schedule on Saturday night when they go on the road to face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 2.

To have as a handy reference during Denver’s second preseason game, we have listed the team’s 90-man offseason roster below, sorted by jersey number.

Fans should keep in mind that players are allowed to share numbers during the offseason if they play on different sides of the ball. It’s also worth noting that these numbers are subject to change — some players could make changes after the 53-man roster is set later this month. In the meantime, though, here are the numbers players will wear for the first preseason game.

20 players on the roster bubble going into Broncos’ 2nd preseason game

These 20 players need to impress during preseason if they’re going to make the team.

The Denver Broncos are going into the second week of preseason with a 90-man offseason roster. By Aug. 29, the Broncos will have to trim down to a 53-man roster.

After facing the Arizona Cardinals in their preseason opener last week, Denver will face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 2. Next week, the Broncos will wrap up preseason at home against the Los Angeles Rams.

These 20 players seem to be on the roster bubble going into Saturday’s game against the 49ers. These players might have their roster fate decided by their performance during preseason this summer. The list is highlighted by tight end Albert Okwuegbunam, a former fourth-round pick, fan-favorite rookie running back Jaleel McLaughlin and third-string quarterback Ben DiNucci.

The Broncos also have a long snapper competition featuring Mitchell Fraboni and Jack Landherr. The loser of that position battle won’t make the team.

Here is a quick look at our list of 20 players who will need to impress during preseason if they’re going to make the team.

Broncos’ 90-man offseason roster, from No. 0 to No. 99

From Jonathon Cooper (No. 0) to Zach Allen (No. 99), here’s a look at the Broncos’ 90-man offseason roster going into the summer.

[anyclip pubname=”2103″ widgetname=”0016M00002U0B1kQAF_M8036″]

As the Denver Broncos enjoy a summer break ahead of the start of training camp next month, the 90-man offseason roster will likely remain mostly unchanged for the next few weeks barring any unexpected signings that force a cut.

Aside from new outside linebacker Frank Clark, all of the players currently on the roster have a number assigned. Fans should keep in mind that players are allowed to share numbers during the offseason if they play on different sides of the ball.

It’s also worth noting that these numbers are subject to change — some players could make changes after the 53-man roster is set in August.

Denver Broncos 90-man offseason roster, sorted by jersey number

Here is the Broncos’ 90-man offseason roster ahead of training camp, sorted by jersey number.

With organized team activities wrapping up and mandatory minicamp set for next week, the Denver Broncos are about to have a summer break.

After minicamp, players will have off until reporting back to the team’s facility for the start of training camp, which typically begins in late July.

As the Broncos prepare to go into the slowest part of the NFL offseason, here’s a gallery of the team’s 90-man offseason roster, sorted by jersey number from 1 through 99. Fans should note that players are allowed to share numbers during the offseason if they play on different sides of the ball.

Denver will trim the roster from 90 players down to 53 later this summer. The NFL’s deadline for submitting a 53-man roster is Tuesday, Aug. 29.

Broncos offseason roster: No. 82, TE Adam Trautman

After being traded to the Broncos during the NFL draft, tight end Adam Trautman has a chance to win the team’s TE2 job this summer.

[connatix div_id=”3f8b015acdd24c648befc5d5dac47469″ player_id=”afe1e038-d3c2-49c0-922d-6511a229f69c” cid=”7cbcea0d-4ce2-4c75-9a8d-fbe02a192c24″]

Broncos Wire’s 90-man offseason roster series continues today with a look at fourth-year tight end Adam Trautman, No. 82.

Before the Broncos: Trautman (6-5, 253 pounds), was selected out of Dayton by the New Orleans Saints in the third round of the 2020 NFL draft (163rd overall). In three years with the Saints, Trautman played in 43 games (starting 28), where he caught 60 passes for 641 yards and four touchdowns.

Broncos tenure: During the 2023 NFL draft, the Broncos traded their second pick in the sixth round (195th overall) to New Orleans in exchange for a 2023 seventh-round selection (257th overall) and Trautman.

Chance to make the 53-man roster: Trautman has the advantage of having played under Broncos head coach Sean Payton while with the Saints (2020-21), making him a favorite to make the team. Payton obviously likes what Trautman brings to the table, and the tight end will likely get an opportunity to emerge as the team’s second-string TE behind Greg Dulcich this offseason.

Broncos offseason roster: No. 84, TE Chris Manhertz

Broncos tight end Chris Manhertz finds himself in a crowded tight end room in 2023. Will he make the roster?

[connatix div_id=”3f8b015acdd24c648befc5d5dac47469″ player_id=”afe1e038-d3c2-49c0-922d-6511a229f69c” cid=”7cbcea0d-4ce2-4c75-9a8d-fbe02a192c24″]

Broncos Wire’s 90-man offseason roster series continues today with a look at ninth-year tight end, Chris Manhertz, No. 84.

Before the Broncos: Manhertz (6-6, 235 pounds) is a grizzled NFL veteran. Manhertz is an alumnus of Canisius College, before his professional career began with the Buffalo Bills in 2015. After playing for the New Orleans Saints from 2016-2017, Manhertz spent time with the Carolina Panthers from 2017-2020.

With the Panthers, Manhertz played in 67 games (starting 26), where he caught 12 passes for 142 yards and one touchdown. Manhertz then moved south, signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2021. Using primarily as a blocker, Manhertz played in 34 games (starting 21 games) and caught 12 passes for 113 yards and one touchdown in two seasons with the Jags.

Broncos tenure: Manhertz signed with the Broncos on a two-year, $6 million deal in March of 2023, with the option for Denver to pick up the second year of the contract.

Chances to make the 53-man roster: The Broncos tight end room is extremely crowded in 2023. Of all the tight ends on the roster at the moment, Manhertz by far is the most battle-tested of them all. Despite his seniority, it may come down to who the Broncos like more between Albert Okwuegbunam and Manhertz when they trim the roster down to 53 players this summer. Due to his blocking ability, Manhertz seems to be the early favorite.
