As the Denver Broncos gear up for OTAs next month, their offseason roster is officially full—but that doesn't mean the story is over for several former players still waiting for a call. Seven ex-Broncos remain free agents, and their futures are up in the air.
The most notable name on the list is center Sam Mustipher, the team's last remaining unrestricted free agent. The 29-year-old stepped up in a big way late in the 2025 season, starting during the divisional round of the playoffs after injuries hit the offensive line. His gritty performance kept the Broncos' playoff hopes alive, but with Alex Forsyth and Nick Gargiulo providing solid depth behind starter Luke Wattenberg, Denver appears ready to move on without him in 2026.
Alongside Mustipher, six former Broncos practice squad players are also unsigned after their contracts expired in March. These street free agents—who contributed behind the scenes during the season—are now searching for their next opportunity, whether in Denver or elsewhere.
The Broncos recently signed two tryout players from rookie minicamp, making corresponding roster moves that officially filled their offseason roster. That leaves little room for veteran additions, meaning Mustipher and the others may need to look beyond the Mile High City for their next chapter.
For fans tracking the team's depth, the free agent list serves as a reminder of the tough decisions that come with building a competitive roster. Whether these former Broncos land new deals or hang up their cleats, their contributions during a memorable 2025 playoff run won't be forgotten.
