Michael Burton Back With Broncos

The Denver Broncos are re-signing fullback Michael Burton for the 2025 campaign, according to team reporter Zac Stevens. Burton was originally a fifth-round pick by the Detroit Lions in 2015 out of Rutgers and has spent time with the Lions, Bears, Saints, Redskins, Chiefs, and Broncos. He reunited with Sean Payton in Denver in 2023 and is back for his third season with the organization. The 33-year-old is primarily utilized as a pure blocker, but he has compiled 42 carries for 79 yards and two touchdowns in 147 career games. He's hauled in 31 receptions for 196 yards and two scores as a receiver. In 2025, he could be blocking for a highly-drafted rookie running back like North Carolina's Omarion Hampton or Ohio State's TreVeyon Henderson.

Punter Matt Haack Signing With Broncos

The Denver Broncos are signing veteran punter Matt Haack, according to Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post. The 30-year-old went undrafted out of Arizona State in 2017 and has spent time with seven NFL organizations. He played in four games for the New York Giants a season ago. Overall, Haack has punted 453 times for an average of 44.7 yards per attempt with 169 punts pinned inside the 20-yard-line in 103 career games with the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Indianapolis Colts, Cleveland Browns, and New York Giants.

Broncos Signing Evan Engram To Two-Year Deal

The Denver Broncos are signing two-time Pro Bowl tight end Evan Engram (shoulder) to an undisclosed two-year deal on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Although Engram ended the 2024 season on Injured Reserve due to a shoulder injury, he gives the Broncos the help at the position that they've been looking for in recent seasons. The 30-year-old former 23rd overall pick by the New York Giants in 2017 out of Mississippi played in just nine games in 2024 and had 47 catches, 365 yards and one touchdown on 64 targets. However, he had a career year in 2023 with a 114-963-4 line on 143 targets in 17 games (15 starts). Depending on how he bounces back from his shoulder injury and how he takes to head coach Sean Payton's offense, Engram could be second-year quarterback Bo Nix's No. 2 target behind receiver Courtland Sutton, giving him plenty of bounce-back potential as a TE1 in fantasy.

Trent Sherfield Sr. Joining Broncos On Two-Year Contract

Free-agent wide receiver Trent Sherfield Sr. is signing with the Denver Broncos on Tuesday on a two-year, $8 million deal, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Sherfield will join the Broncos in 2025 after playing in 17 regular-season games (one start) with the Minnesota Vikings last year and catching only eight of his nine targets for 83 yards and one touchdown. The 29-year-old pass-catcher has been with five different teams (Cardinals, 49ers, Dolphins, Bills and Vikings) in the last five seasons, with his best year coming in 2022 with Miami, when he posted a 30-417-2 line in 17 games (four starts). The Vanderbilt product spent the first three years of his NFL career in Arizona before bouncing around on a year-to-year basis. Sherfield is unlikely to make much noise with the Broncos next season while competing for a secondary role with the likes of Marvin Mims Jr., Devaughn Vele and Troy Franklin.

Dre Greenlaw Joins Broncos On Three-Year Deal

The Denver Broncos are expected to sign San Francisco 49ers standout linebacker Dre Greenlaw to a three-year deal worth $35 million, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Greenlaw will essentially help make up for the loss of linebacker Cody Barton, who signed a three-year deal to join the Tennessee Titans. The 27-year-old Greenlaw had 100-plus combined tackles for the Niners in 2022 and 2023 before tearing his Achilles in the Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in February of last year. He ended up playing in only two games for the Niners in 2024 as a result and had nine tackles (three solo). The former fifth-round selection (148th overall) in the 2019 NFL draft out of Arkansas only has 3.5 sacks in his six NFL seasons, but if he can return to his pre-injury form in Denver, an already strong Broncos defense will get even more formidable in 2025 and beyond.

Javonte Williams • RB • Broncos

Javonte Williams Signs With Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys have signed free-agent running back Javonte Williams on Monday. The two sides have agreed to a one-year, $3 million contract that carries a maximum value of $3.5 million through incentives. This is a low-risk move by the Cowboys to address the lack of depth in their backfield. The assumption is that Williams will serve as the backup with the Cowboys likely adding a running back during the upcoming NFL draft. They will likely use Williams in some type of committee role. Williams has been unable to live up to the hype of his rookie season where he rushed for 903 yards in 2021. The 24-year-old was stuck in a backfield committee last season with the Denver Broncos. There's a good chance Williams ends up in a committee type of approach in Dallas, so this move shouldn't give fantasy managers too much confidence in a bounce back campaign from Williams.

Zach Wilson Reaches Agreement With Dolphins

Former Denver Broncos quarterback Zach Wilson reached an agreement on Monday on a one-year, $6 million fully guaranteed deal with the Miami Dolphins that can grow to $10 million, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter. Wilson will return to the AFC East after he was taken second overall by the New York Jets in 2021 out of BYU. The 25-year-old flamed out in New York in his three seasons in the Big Apple before serving as the Broncos' No. 3 signal-caller last year behind rookie sensation Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham. The Broncos re-signed Stidham as their backup, leaving Wilson to sign with the Dolphins as insurance behind the injury-prone Tua Tagovailoa. Tyler Huntley, who spent the 2024 season as the backup to Tagovailoa in Miami, is an unrestricted free agent this offseason. The Dolphins will be in a dire situation if Wilson is forced to make starts for them in 2025.

Broncos Agree To Three-Year Contract With Talanoa Hufanga

The Denver Broncos and free-agent safety Talanoa Hufanga agreed to a three-year contract on Monday worth up to $45 million, including $20 million guaranteed at signing, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Hufanga was a first-time Pro Bowler in 2022 with the San Francisco 49ers and was trending toward being a starting defensive back in IDP fantasy formats until injuries struck. The 25-year-old played in only 10 games in 2023 and a career-low seven games in 2024. He suffered a concussion in the regular-season finale last year but should be fully recovered in time for the start of the 2025 campaign in his first year with Denver. If Hufanga can return to the ball-hawking form he displayed prior to 2023, the Broncos defense could have a steal on their hands. Barring injuries, Hufanga figures to start at safety alongside Brandon Jones in a talented Denver defense.

D.J. Jones, Broncos Agree On Three-Year Deal

Free-agent defensive tackle D.J. Jones and the Denver Broncos reached an agreement on Monday on a three-year, $39 million deal that includes $26 million fully guaranteed, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Jones will remain in Denver for another three seasons after playing with them since the 2022 campaign. In his three seasons in Denver, the 30-year-old has racked up 122 tackles (73 solo), five sacks, nine tackles for loss, 11 QB hits, nine pass breakups, three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries in 48 games started during the regular season. Retaining their starting nose tackle is good news for a Broncos defense that was the No. 1 defense in fantasy in 2024. Jones had 42 tackles (21 solo), one sack and a fumble recovery in his 17 regular-season starts last year. However, he won't be on the fantasy radar in IDP formats.

Evan Engram Visiting With Broncos

Free-agent tight end Evan Engram is visiting with the Denver Broncos on Monday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 30-year-old was recently released by the Jacksonville Jaguars after two seasons with the organization and is free to sign with a new team before the new league year begins on March 12. Engram had the best season of his career in 2023, catching 114 passes for 963 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games. The former first-round pick by the New York Giants in 2017 was limited to just nine games in 2024 and caught 47 passes for 365 yards and one score. Head coach Sean Payton has lacked a game-changing tight end since he arrived in Denver, so this could be a perfect match as the team looks to upgrade its pass-catching weapons for rising quarterback Bo Nix.

Titans Interested In Mac Jones, Zach Wilson

The Tennessee Titans are interested in free-agent quarterbacks Zach Wilson and Mac Jones, according to Titans beat reporter Buck Reising. Tennessee is likely in search of a new starting quarterback after former second-round pick Will Levis posted a 2-10 record in 2024 behind 2,091 passing yards, 13 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. Wilson and Jones were both first-round picks in the 2021 NFL Draft and lasted just three seasons with the New York Jets and New England Patriots, respectively. The Titans could be looking to add competition to its quarterback room to pair with Levis, but there's also a chance the team will pick Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Jarrett Stidham • QB • Broncos

Jarrett Stidham Staying On With Denver

The NFL's Ian Rapoport reports that the Denver Broncos are bringing back quarterback Jarrett Stidham on a two-year, $12 million contract with $7 million guaranteed. The 28-year-old spent the last two seasons with the team, appearing in seven games. However, he did not attempt a pass in 2024 and served solely as a backup to rookie sensation Bo Nix. Stidham figures to occupy that role again in 2025, barring an injury to Nix, and reportedly would have garnered significant interest as a potential backup on the open market. However, the Broncos sought to lock up their second-string option with extensive knowledge of the team's current system. The Auburn product can be safely avoided for fantasy purposes sans a bench stash in deep superflex dynasty formats.

Zach Wilson Could Draw Interest As A Starter On Free-Agent Market

Denver Broncos impending free-agent quarterback Zach Wilson figures to draw interest on the free-agent market this offseason as a player who could compete for a starting spot in training camp, according to The Athletic's Nick Kosmider. Wilson worked as Denver's third-stringer in 2024, but he's only 25 years old and has five years of NFL experience. In addition to Wilson, Jarrett Stidham is also a free agent, and Kosmider doesn't envision both QBs returning to back up Bo Nix for a second straight year. The Broncos would be interested in having one of Wilson/Stidham back in 2025 to back up Nix, though. Kosmider predicts the Broncos will re-sign Stidham on a one- or two-year deal and add a developmental QB prospect on Day 3 of the NFL draft or through college free agency. If Wilson leaves Denver, he'll most likely settle into a backup role somewhere else.

Drew Sanders • ILB • Broncos

Broncos Have High Expectations For Drew Sanders

The Denver Broncos made it clear at last week's NFL Combine that Drew Sanders will be a permanent part of the linebacker room in 2025, especially with Cody Barton and Justin Strnad both set to be unrestricted free agents next week and Alex Singleton (knee) coming off an ACL injury. Head coach Sean Payton and general manager George Paton said Sanders will work this offseason at inside linebacker, and they have high expectations for him. "We think Sanders can be a starter in this league at linebacker," Paton said. It doesn't mean the Broncos won't add to the position in free agency, though, and Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Zack Baun and Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton could be targets for the Broncos. Baun was a former draft pick when Payton was with the Saints, so he could be the big free-agent splash Denver makes this offseason.

Broncos Could Re-Sign Javonte Williams

Denver Broncos general manager George Paton said at the NFL Combine on Tuesday that the team could re-sign impending free-agent running back Javonte Williams this offseason. "There's a chance we bring Javonte back. I think he's one of the best pass protectors in the league," Paton said. It was previously reported this offseason that Denver was unlikely to bring Williams back in 2025 after another disappointing season in which he averaged just 3.7 yards per carry for 513 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 139 rushing attempts in 17 regular-season games (11 starts). He just hasn't displayed the same burst and tackle-breaking abilities since tearing his ACL early in the 2022 season, and he lost the lead-back role for the Broncos early in 2024. The only good news for Williams last year was that he had a career-best 52 catches for 346 yards through the air. His fantasy stock has fallen, but depending on his situation in 2025, he could be a bounce-back candidate.

Broncos To Discuss Contract Extension With Courtland Sutton

Denver Broncos general manager George Paton said at the NFL Combine on Tuesday that he wants wide receiver Courtland Sutton to stick around Denver and that he will talk to Sutton's agent this week in Indianapolis about a potential contract extension. Sutton voiced displeasure about his contract last offseason, and the Broncos added some incentives to appease him. However, the 29-year-old is surely going to want an upgraded contract this offseason after recording the second 1,000-yard receiving season of his career as rookie quarterback Bo Nix's go-to target in the passing game in 2024. In addition to his 1,081 yards, Sutton caught 81 of his career-high 135 targets and scored eight times, making him a top-15 fantasy wideout. Sutton has 18 touchdowns the last two years and should be treated as a low-end WR1/high-end WR2 heading into 2025 fantasy drafts.

Bo Nix "Fine" After Undergoing Surgery

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix (undisclosed) is "fine" and has been working out after undergoing an undisclosed procedure earlier this offseason, according to head coach Sean Payton. Nix's procedure was not related to his back injury from his rookie season. The surgery shouldn't have any affect on the 25-year-old's 2025 fantasy value after a very impressive first season in the NFL in which he threw for 3,775 yards, 29 touchdowns and 12 interceptions on 567 pass attempts. The first-rounder out of Oregon also ran the ball 92 times for 430 yards and an additional four touchdowns to show off his underrated speed. Nix finished as the QB8 in overall fantasy scoring, and he did it all with a pretty non-existent running game to help him out. The Broncos will surely be looking to beef up their offensive weapons around Nix in his sophomore season, where he'll certainly be in play as a midrange QB1 target in fantasy drafts.

Rob Gronkowski • TE • Broncos

Rob Gronkowski Considering NFL Return, Broncos A Potential Suitor

Four-time Super Bowl Champion tight end Rob Gronkowski is considering a return to the NFL, according to Cecil Lammey of DenverSports.com. The 35-year-old worked with Broncos head coach Sean Payton at Fox, and if he returns, Denver is likely a top destination for the five-time Pro Bowler. Gronkowski entered the league in 2010 and played nine seasons with the New England Patriots before retiring in 2019. He came out of retirement in 2020 and played two seasons for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Overall, he has compiled 621 receptions for 9,286 yards and 92 touchdowns in 143 career games. This report should be taken with a grain of salt until further news comes out about the situation, but there's no doubt Gronkowski would carry fantasy football intrigue if he returns to the field in 2025. It would be a surprise if he's still a dominant pass-catcher, but he could carve out a significant enough role to make an impact in his 12th NFL season.

Alex Singleton • ILB • Broncos

Alex Singleton Could Be Let Go This Offseason

The Denver Broncos are operating with more than $50 million in salary cap space this year and won't be forced into cost-saving moves like they were a year ago to account for the financial ramifications of releasing quarterback Russell Wilson. However, The Athletic's Nick Kosmider writes that they could still cut linebacker Alex Singleton (knee) and save $5.6 million on this year's salary cap, according to Over The Cap. The 31-year-old suffered a season-ending torn ACL early in 2024 and has no guaranteed money left on the three-year deal he signed in 2023. Singleton would also leave behind just $1.3 million in dead money if he's cut. Another salary cap casualty for Denver could be safety P.J. Locke. The Broncos would save $4.2 million against the 2025 cap if they cut him. Before getting hurt, Singleton had 31 tackles (17 solo) and an interception in just three games played.

Zack Baun • LB • Broncos

Broncos Could Try To Sign Zack Baun In Free Agency

The Athletic's Nick Kosmider suggests that the Denver Broncos could look to sign Philadelphia Eagles impending free-agent linebacker Zack Baun this offseason. Baun was a third-round pick by the New Orleans Saints in 2020 when Sean Payton was still the head coach. He didn't have a single sack in his first three NFL seasons as an outside edge rusher mainly, but he thrived in his first year with the Eagles in 2024 when he was moved to inside linebacker, finishing with 151 tackles, 3.5 sacks and five forced fumbles to become a finalist for NFL Defensive Player of the Year. The 28-year-old will become an unrestricted free agent in March, and the Eagles could struggle to re-sign him, potentially opening the door for Denver to get involved and add Baun to an already strong defense that led the NFL in sacks in 2024.
