4 Raiders received AP All Pro votes

Brock Bowers wasn’t the only Raiders player to receive votes for the AP All Pro team. There were three others.

Friday, the Associate Press announced their All Pro First team. On that team was Raiders rookie TE Brock Bowers, who led all tight ends with 101 votes and 27 first team votes.

The next most votes went to 49ers George Kittle with 88 votes and 22 first team votes.

But there were three other Raiders players who also received All Pro votes. And they may not be the players you think.

For instance, Maxx Crosby received no votes. Despite being named to the Pro Bowl.

The three who did receive votes were LB Robert Spillane, P AJ Cole, and LS Jacob Bobenmoyer.

Spillane received five votes, with no first team votes. It was Zach Baun, Fred Warner, and Roquan Smith who led the way to be named to the First Team.

Cole received 18 votes with five First Team votes. Detroit’s Jack Fox got the nod with 62 votes.

Bobenmoyer received five votes with one First Team vote. While it was former Raiders long snapper Andrew DePaola who took home the honors with 60 votes.

Raiders have 2 ex-Broncos set to face their old team on Sunday

Former Broncos players Jacob Bobenmoyer and Tyreik McAllister now play for the Raiders, who will host Denver this week.

The Las Vegas Raiders are set to host the Denver Broncos in Week 12 and two former Denver players could face off against their old team.

The Raiders have two ex-Broncos who contribute on special teams: long snapper Jacob Bobenmoyer and returner Tyreik McAllister.

Bobenmoyer, 27, handled long snapping duties in Denver from 2019-2022 before being replaced by Mitchell Fraboni. Bobenmoyer signed with Las Vegas last year and he’s been the Raiders’ long snapper since then.

McAllister, 26, signed with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent running back out of Charleston in 2022. He spent most of that season either on reserve or the practice squad before re-signing in 2023. McAllister was cut before training camp last summer and then spent a season playing in the CFL with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

McAllister signed with Las Vegas in January. He played in three games this season before being bumped down to the practice squad. The Raiders list him as a wide receiver and kickoff and punt returner.

Sunday’s game will be regionally televised on CBS (TV map). Despite playing on the road, the Broncos are considered favorites this week.

Raiders have 2 ex-Broncos set to face their old team on Sunday

Former Broncos Jacob Bobenmoyer and Tyreik McAllister will return to Denver to face their former team on Sunday.

When the Las Vegas Raiders travel to face the Denver Broncos in Week 5, two players will be returning to Colorado to face their former team.

The Raiders have two ex-Broncos who contribute on special teams: long snapper Jacob Bobenmoyer and returner Tyreik McAllister.

Bobenmoyer, 27, handled long snapping duties in Denver from 2019-2022 before being replaced by Mitchell Fraboni. Bobenmoyer signed with Las Vegas last year and he’s been the Raiders’ long snapper since then.

McAllister, 26, signed with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent running back out of Charleston in 2022. He spent most of that season either on reserve or the practice squad before re-signing in 2023. McAllister was cut before training camp last summer and then spent a season playing in the CFL with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

McAllister signed with Las Vegas in January and he is now listed as a wide receiver and the team’s top backup kickoff and punt returner.

Sunday’s game will be regionally televised on Fox. The Broncos are considered favorites at home this week.

6 revenge games on Broncos’ 2023 schedule

The Broncos’ 2023 schedule will feature several revenge opportunities for some of the team’s former players.

The Denver Broncos now know their 2023 schedule and it will feature six revenge games with former Broncos facing off against their old team. Here’s a quick look at six games with ex-Denver players on the 2023 schedule.

3 former Broncos land deals in free agency

Jacob Bobenmoyer has left the Broncos to join the Raiders. Elsewhere, Drew Lock re-signed with the Seahawks and Malik Reed landed in Miami.

Three players who spent time with the Denver Broncos in 2022 have found homes in free agency.

Most notably, long snapper Jacob Bobenmoyer — who started 46 games for the Broncos over the last three seasons — signed with the Las Vegas Raiders. It’s possible that Denver might bring in competition this summer, but for now, it appears that Mitchell Fraboni is set to handle long-snapping duties in 2023.

Two other players who the Broncos traded last year have also received new deals in free agency.

Quarterback Drew Lock, who was traded to the Seattle Seahawks last March as part of the Russell Wilson trade, is getting a second contract in Seattle. He is set to serve as a backup again in 2023.

Elsewhere, pass rusher Malik Reed, who was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers last September, has landed a one-year deal with the Miami Dolphins. Reed will now reunite with defensive coordinator Vic Fangio and outside linebacker Bradley Chubb, who he played with from 2019-2021.

Raiders make flurry of re-signings official, add former Broncos LS Jacob Bobenmoyer

Raiders add former Broncos LS Jacob Bobenmoyer, officially re-sign 5 others

It was a busy Saturday for the Raiders. Machine gun style, they rattled off several official re-signings by the team. They were as follows:

FB Jakob Johnson
T Jermaine Eluemunor
C Hroniss Grasu
DT Jerry Tillery
LB Curtis Bolton

In addition, the team announced the signing of long snapper Jacob Bobonmoyer, who appeared in 46 games the past three seasons in Denver.

Of particular interest among the returning players is tackle Jermaine Eluemunor. Though the journeyman veteran had been hinting at his return of late.

Prior to his proclamation that he and Kolton Miller would be “the best Tackle Duo’ in the league this season, he has simply been talking all along like he was going nowhere despite the team letting him reach free agency before making his return official.

The tackle position has been high on many team need lists for the Raiders this offseason, but Eluemunor has seemingly scoffed at the idea, pointing out that he settled in and played pretty well the latter half of last season.

Broncos decline to place RFA tenders on 4 players

Broncos declined RFA tenders for QB Brett Rypien, DB P.J. Locke, CB Essang Bassey and LS Jacob Bobenmoyer, making them free agents.

Brett Rypein wasn’t the only restricted free agent to have his tender declined by the Denver Broncos on Monday.

The Broncos also declined to pick up the one-year, RFA tenders for safety P.J. Locke, cornerback Essang Bassey and long snapper Jacob Bobenmoyer, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis.

Those four players are now set to become unrestricted free agents. It’s still possible that Denver could bring them back for less than the one-year RFA tender salary ($2.63 million).

Locke, in particular, has dressed for 47 games over the last three seasons, logging more than 1,000 snaps on special teams. Locke should be a candidate to return to the team.

The Broncos also declined a one-year, exclusive rights free agent tender for outside linebacker Jonathan Kongbo. Denver did pick up the ERFA tenders for inside linebacker Jonas Griffith, punter Corliss Waitman and offensive lineman Quinn Bailey.

Here is the list of Broncos players with RFA and ERFA statuses

Should the Broncos give one-year tenders to these restricted and ERFA free agents this spring?

In addition to having 17 players scheduled to become unrestricted free agents this spring, the Denver Broncos will also have four restricted free agents (RFAs) and two exclusive rights free agents (ERFAs), according to Spotrac.com.

Players set to become RFAs are eligible for one-year first- ($6,005,000) or second-round ($4,304,000) tenders, or a right of first refusal ($2,627,000) tender (salaries courtesy of OverTheCap.com).

If the Broncos, for example, place a first-round tender on an RFA and that player signed a bigger contract with another team, that club would have to send a first-round pick to Denver for the player. The same concept applies to a second-round tender, and the right of first refusal tender would give the team a chance to match an offer a player might receive from another club.

Players with ERFA statuses are eligible for one-year contracts at the NFL’s minimum salary, and they are not eligible to negotiate with other teams. So if Denver wants to keep their ERFAs, it’s easy to do so.

Here is the full list of Broncos players scheduled to become restricted or exclusive rights free agents this spring.

Broncos sign long snapper Mitchell Fraboni to practice squad after losing Jacob Bobenmoyer

After losing Jacob Bobenmoyer to an injury, the Broncos signed long snapper Mitchell Fraboni to their practice squad.

After losing long snapper Jacob Bobenmoyer for at least four weeks to a wrist/hand injury, the Denver Broncos brought in 10 long snappers for tryouts this week.

On Monday, the Broncos hosted Turner Bernard, Hunter Bradley, Ryan DiSalvo, Kyle Nelson and Mitchell Fraboni for tryouts.

After that, the team brought in Thomas Fletcher, Joe Fortunato, Brian Khoury, Garrison Sanborn and Rex Sunahara for tryouts on Tuesday.

Fraboni (6-2, 223 pounds) won the tryout and he was signed to the team’s practice squad on Tuesday. He will presumably be tasked with filling in for Bobenmoyer for the next three games.

Denver can elevate Fraboni to the game-day roster up to three times without him having to clear waivers to revert back to the practice squad after each game. That could happen over the next three games, and then the Broncos will have a bye four weeks from now. Bobenmoyer will be eligible to return from injured reserve after the team’s bye week.

Bobenmoyer, 25, has been the team’s long snapper since 2020, starting in 38-straight games before his injury.

Story update: Denver is also expected to sign Joe Fortunato to the practice squad, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis. That would give the Broncos two options for their game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday.

To make room for Fraboni and Fortunato on the practice squad, Denver released wide receivers Darrius Shepherd and Vyncint Smith.

Broncos placed 3 more players on IR this week

ICYMI: The Broncos placed Garett Bolles, Ronald Darby and Jacob Bobenmoyer on injured reserve this week.

The Denver Broncos added three more players to their injured reserve list earlier this week.

The Broncos officially placed left tackle Garett Bolles (broken leg), cornerback Ronald Darby (torn ACL) and long snapper Jacob Bobenmoyer (wrist/hand) on IR on Monday.

After losing those three players, Denver now has 11 players on IR.

Bolles and Darby will miss the rest of the 2022 season. Bobenmoyer will be eligible to return after sitting out four games.

Bolles is expected to be replaced at left tackle by Calvin Anderson. Darby will likely be replaced at cornerback by Damarri Mathis.

The Broncos filled one of the open roster spots created by those injuries by promoting wide receiver Kendall Hinton from the practice squad to the active roster.

Denver still has three open spots remaining on the 53-man roster after waiving outside linebacker Jonathan Kongbo on Tuesday. The Broncos have three players eligible to return from IR this week who might take those three spots.
