The Denver Broncos are running it back.
Denver's front office prioritized re-signing in-house free agents this spring, and the Broncos were the last team in the NFL to sign an outside free agent from another club. That signee happened to be former Cincinnati Bengals safety Tycen Anderson, a special teams ace who made Denver's 53-man roster over the weekend.
The Broncos' big (and only) splash of the offseason came when they traded multiple draft picks to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for star wide receiver Jaylen Waddle in March. He obviously made Denver's 53-man squad and figures to have a key role on offense this fall.
Waddle and Anderson are the only new veterans on the Broncos' roster this season. Four members of Denver's draft class also made
the 53-man roster, but the Broncos had very little turnover this offseason.
Broncos' new players in 2026
- WR Jaylen Waddle (trade)
- DB Tycen Anderson (free agency)
- DL Tyler Onyedim (3rd-round pick)
- RB Jonah Coleman (4th-round pick)
- OL Kage Casey (4th-round pick)
- TE Dallen Bentley (7th-round pick)
That's it. Those are the only new players Denver added to the active roster after the club went 14-3 and reached the AFC Championship game last season. Waddle, of course, was a huge addition, but the Broncos didn't do much else beyond the draft. Denver's front office clearly believes they have a great group of players who are poised to make another deep playoff run this season.
