Broncos Strengthen Roster with Key Signings Engram, Hufanga, Sherfield

The Denver Broncos have made significant roster improvements ahead of the 2025 NFL season under head coach Sean Payton, focusing on offense, defense, and special teams. Offensively, the Broncos signed tight end Evan Engram to a two-year contract, hoping his experience and route-running will provide a reliable target for quarterback Bo Nix and enhance third-down and red-zone efficiency. On defense, the team bolstered their safety tandem by adding former All-Pro Talanoa Hufanga, whom Payton praised as a smart leader expected to make a big impact despite past injuries. The running back position is also set for more stability, with Payton committing to giving 2024 fifth-round pick Audric Estimé more touches to leverage his physical running style. Additionally, linebacker Drew Sanders remains firmly positioned as an inside linebacker, with the Broncos valuing his pass-rushing abilities over coverage roles. Finally, Payton has emphasized improving special teams by signing wide receiver Trent Sherfield and safety Sam Franklin, both known for their special teams contributions, alongside drafting Alabama linebacker Que Robinson, signaling a strong commitment to all three phases of the game.
