The Broncos worked out 16 players last week and half of those players were defensive backs, perhaps a sign that Denver plans to add more depth in the secondary this offseason. Here’s the list of last week’s workouts, courtesy of The Athletic’s Nicki Jhabvala:
- DB Corrin Ballard
- DT Daryle Banfield
- DE Tashawn Bower
- LB Tre’ Crawford
- DB Davante Davis
- DT Willie Henry
- DB P.J. Locke
- DB Tray Matthews
- DB Picasso Nelson
- LB Gimel President
- DE Wyatt Ray
- DB Tyree Robinson
- DB Kahani Smith
- LB Pita Taumoepenu
- NT Jay-Tee Tiuli
- DB Isaiah Wharton
Of note, the Broncos did not work out any punters last week. Colby Wadman has come under pressure in recent weeks and he didn’t help his case on Sunday when he had an awful 13-yard punt. He has averaged 43.8 yards per punt this season, which ranks 28th in the league.
Denver has been working out players as candidates for “futures contracts.” Players that are not on an active roster at the end of the season are eligible to sign future deals that will become official in March. Teams are allowed to have 90 players on the roster during the offseason.
