The Denver Broncos<\/a> officially announced their four outside free agent signings on Thursday and all four players have picked their jersey numbers.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most notable development is new tight end Evan Engram choosing No. 1<\/a>. Engram previously wore No. 17 with the Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a>, but that number is currently held by Broncos wide receiver Devaughn Vele<\/a>. Engram started his career wearing No. 88 with the New York Giants<\/a>, but Denver unofficially retired that number<\/a> in honor of late receiver Demaryius Thomas.<\/p>\n

So it’s No. 1 for Engram. That number was previously worn by cornerback Tremon Smith, who left the team during free agency<\/a> this week.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere on offense, new receiver\u00a0Trent Sherfield<\/a> picked No. 5 after previously wearing Nos. 16, 81, 14, 16 and 11 earlier in his career. Baron Browning previously wore No. 5 before being traded last season<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On defense, safety Talanoa Hufanga<\/a> picked No. 9 and linebacker Dre Greenlaw<\/a> picked No. 57, the same number he wore with the San Francisco 49ers. Hufanga wore No. 29 in San Francisco, but that number is currently held by Broncos<\/a> cornerback Ja’Quan McMillian.<\/p>\n

Fans should note that these numbers are subject to change. Until the 53-man roster is set later this summer, no numbers will be locked in for the 2025 season.<\/p>\n
