The Denver Broncos have had quite a busy offseason.
The Broncos signed 18 free agents; nine from other teams and nine in-house free agents. Denver also restructured the contracts of four players and traded wide receiver Jerry Jeudy to the Cleveland Browns.
The team’s biggest move was releasing quarterback Russell Wilson, who was joined by safety Justin Simmons and tight end Chris Manhertz. Wilson quickly signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Manhertz landed with the New York Giants (Simmons remains a free agent).
The Broncos also brought in a quarterback, acquiring Zach Wilson from the New York Jets in a late-round pick swap. More moves could be on the way soon as Denver has received trade calls about receiver Courtland Sutton.
Even if the Broncos don’t make any more trades, they would be scheduled to add eight players to the roster this week during the NFL draft. Before Denver makes their picks in the draft, here’s a look back at all of the team’s roster moves so far this offseason.
