A group of players who ended the 2025 season on the Denver Broncos‘ practice squad are about to become free agents.
After their season concluded, the Broncos signed 12 players to reserve/future contracts. Those players will officially join the team’s 90-man offseason roster when the NFL’s new league year begins in March.
Meanwhile, nine players who ended the season on Denver’s practice squad have not received reserve/future deals. Their practice squad contracts will expire on Monday, making them free agents.
Last week, the Denver Gazette’s Chris Tomasson reported that wide receiver Michael Bandy was weighing offers from at least two other teams. Bandy is among the players currently headed for free agency.
