The Broncos made four roster cuts this week to make room for Kareem Jackson, Tyreik McAllister and a pair of XFL players.
After some roster shuffling, the Denver Broncos have set their 90-man offseason roster ahead of the start of organized team activities.
The Broncos officially waived four players on Monday and re-signed two players. Denver then signed two more players on Tuesday, filling out the roster ahead of the summer.
Here’s a quick recap of the moves the Broncos have made over the last 48 hours.
Learn more about the 15 undrafted free agents the Broncos signed following the 2023 NFL draft.
After selecting five players in the 2023 NFL draft (and adding a sixth player through a draft-day trade), the Denver Broncos have filled their 90-man offseason roster by signing undrafted free agents.
The Broncos signed 15 UDFAs after the draft, including two running backs and two defensive linemen. Those are two notable positions given that Denver did not select a running back or a defensive lineman during the draft.
The Broncos also brought in tight ends, wide receivers, offensive linemen, linebackers and defensive backs. Undrafted players often face long odds to make the 53-man roster, but Denver has a strong history of uncovering UDFA gems.
Here’s a look at the 15 UDFA signings the Broncos made in 2023.
Here is our projected tight end (and fullback) depth chart for the Broncos following the NFL draft.
The Denver Broncos did not select a tight end in the 2023 NFL draft last week, but they did acquire Adam Trautman in a late-round trade with the New Orleans Saints.
Following Trautman’s arrival, here is our updated tight end depth chart for the Broncos as the team gets set to begin organized team activities this month.
TE1: Greg Dulcich, a third-round pick in 2022, returns as Denver’s primary tight end entering his second season.
TE2: Adam Trautman, who was drafted by coach Sean Payton in the third round of the 2020 NFL draft, instantly becomes the team’s TE2. Payton has spoken glowingly about Trautman’s ability to block and contribute as a receiver.
TE3: Albert Okwuegbunam (receiving) and Chris Manhertz (blocking) have contrasting strengths and neither of them are as well-rounded as a TE as Truatman. The Broncos also signed Kris Leach as an undrafted free agent.
FB: Michael Burton is the obvious choice to start at fullback for Denver this year and he might occasionally have a tight end-type role. The Broncos also signed UDFA Nate Adkins, who could be a candidate for a tight end/fullback hybrid role that Andrew Beck previously held in Denver.
It’s a pretty solid tight end room for the Broncos, with Dulcich expected to have the biggest receiving role in 2023.
