It’s been a relatively quiet offseason for the Denver Broncos so far, but that will change in the coming weeks.
The Broncos have made two additions to the coaching staff and the team has signed or re-signed 15 players, but 14 of those deals won’t become official until March 13.
After the 2023 season wrapped up, Denver signed 14 players to reserve/future contracts. Those players were eligible to sign future deals because they were not on an active roster when the season ended. They will officially join the 90-man offseason roster when the new league year begins on March 13.
The Broncos also made one in-house free agent signing, giving a one-year deal to exclusive rights free agent linebacker Jonas Griffith. As an ERFA, Griffith had no leverage in negotiations, so his deal was somewhat of a formality.
The action will start to heat up next month when teams are allowed begin negotiating with pending free agents from other clubs on March 11. Once the NFL’s new league begins on March 13, free agents can sign with any team.
