NFL players who end the season on a practice squad are eligible to sign a reserve\/future contract with their team. If they do not sign a reserve\/future deal and their practice squad contract expires, they are eligible to sign with other clubs.<\/p>\n
Last week, five former\u00a0Denver Broncos<\/a>\u00a0players landed reserve\/future deals from their teams. Seven other ex-Broncos<\/a> did not receive deals, and their practice squad contracts expired on Monday, making them free agents.<\/p>\n The Arizona Cardinals<\/a> allowed the contracts of offensive tackle Marques Cox and wide receiver Trent Sherfield to expire, the Washington Commanders<\/a> let wide receiver River Cracraft and defensive end DeMarcus Walker walk, the Cleveland Browns<\/a> did not bring back wide receiver Kaden Davis, the Minnesota Vikings<\/a> did not re-sign running back Sincere McCormick and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a> allowed lineman Adam Gotsis to hit free agency.<\/p>\n Ex-Broncos with expired contractsOT Marques Cox, Cardinals\u00a0WR Trent Sherfield, CardinalsWR River Cracraft, Commanders\u00a0DE DeMarcus Walker, CommandersWR Kaden Davis, Browns\u00a0RB Sincere McCormick, Vikings\u00a0DE Adam Gotsis, BuccaneersNeed a news break?
