Broncos make first quarterback move of 2024 offseason
The Denver Broncos made their first quarterback move of the offseason on Monday, but it might not be the move fans expected.
Denver signed Ben DiNucci to a reserve/future contract, the third-string quarterback announced on his Twitter/X page on Monday. After spending the 2023 campaign on the Broncos’ practice squad, DiNucci was eligible to sign a reserve/future deal.
DiNucci is now set to officially join the 90-man offseason roster when the new league year begins in March.
Denver is expected to release quarterback Russell Wilson in March, a move that would leave Jarrett Stidham and DiNucci as the team’s only QBs under contract for the 2024 season.
In addition to DiNucci, the Broncos also gave reserve/future contracts to safety Devon Key, offensive tackle Demontrey Jacobs and running back Tyler Badie, according to the Denver Gazette‘s Chris Tomasson. Wide receiver Tre’Quan Smith is not expected to re-sign with Denver.
DiNucci, 27, spent time with the Dallas Cowboys (2020-2021) and in the XFL (2023) before joining the Broncos last May.
