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 Wire’s 90-man offseason roster series continues today with a look at rookie offensive lineman Demontrey Jacobs, No. 71.

Before the Broncos: Jacobs (6-6, 315 pounds) started his college career at Grambling State, an FCS school in Louisiana. He was recruited as a defensive lineman and started 11 games as a redshirt freshman in 2018. Jacobs switched to the offensive line in 2019 and started all 11 games again.

Jacobs transferred to the University of South Florida ahead of the 2020 season. He played in seven games in his first season at USF, earning one start at left tackle. The following year, Jacobs started all 12 games at right tackle. He was granted an extra year of eligibility due to COVID-19 and started all 12 games again in 2022.

Broncos tenure: Denver signed Jacobs as an undrafted free agent in May. He will make his Bronco debut during preseason this summer.

Chance to make the 53-man roster: Jacobs is unlikely to make the active roster as a rookie, but he will be able to compete for a spot on the practice squad at training camp.
