Broncos Team Notes

Ex-Broncos pass rusher signs with UFL team

The Birmingham Stallions continue stacking talent ahead of the 2025 UFL season. The three-time defending champions of spring football signed former NFL pass rusher Ronnie Perkins earlier this month, per the league.

Perkins (6-3, 253 pounds) spent the first three years of his career with the New England Patriots before joining the Denver Broncos in 2023. Denver initially signed Perkins off New England’s practice squad before later releasing him and re-signing him to their own practice squad.

Perkins dressed for seven games in 2023, totaling 13 tackles and one quarterback hit on 149 snaps. He was placed on the team’s waived/injured list last August and reverted to injured reserve after clearing waivers. One month later, the Broncos released Perkins from IR with an injury settlement.

Perkins later landed on the practice squad of the Arizona Cardinals, but he was cut before the end of the season. The 25-year-old pass rusher will now get a chance to continue his pro football career in the UFL.

3 Broncos players named possible cap casualties

The Denver Broncos have a healthy salary cap situation ahead of NFL free agency, but teams are always looking to create more cap flexibility.

With free agency on deck next month, Nick Korte of OverTheCap.com has published a list of 100 players who could be candidates to become cap casualties this spring. The list includes three Broncos players, all on defense.

First up is linebacker Alex Singleton, who is coming off a torn ACL and set to turn 32 next season. None of Singleton’s salary is guaranteed in 2025, so Denver could save $5.58 million if he’s released.

Next on the list is defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers, but a contract restructure certainly seems more likely than a release for JFM. The 28-year-old defensive lineman has a base salary of $7.39 million this year, but only $1 million is guaranteed. The Broncos would save $7 million if he’s released.

The third and final player on the list is safety P.J. Locke. He is due $4.19 million in 2025, but none of it is guaranteed. After underwhelming as a starter last season, Locke’s spot in the starting lineup is certainly in jeopardy, and OTC seems to think is roster spot could be as well.

The NFL’s free agency negotiating window will open on March 10, followed by the official start of NFL free agency on March 12.

“doctor told me my son was going to die when he was 2 weeks old unless he got a heart transplant we’ve been taking him to the hospital every week since then for treatment,” the father wrote in a follow-up tweet.

The son, Santana, was at the hospital for his weekly appointment when Nix made a surprise visit.

Nix was named a Pro Bowl alternate following his rookie season after surpassing 4,200 yards and scoring 34 touchdowns.
