Broncos Re-sign QB Ehlinger, Build Depth with Trautman & Strnad

0:00On March 9th, the Denver Broncos have secured their three-quarter back lineup from last season by resigning Sam Ellinger to a one-year deal worth two, million dollars. The move came late Sunday night and keeps the 27-year-old on the roster after his time on the practice squad and active roster. Alinger first joined the Broncos last March following a stint with the Colts. He turned down active roster offers elsewhere to stick with Denver's practice squad where he earned a few game checks as a call-up and even backed up. Jarrett Stidem in the AFC Championship game. Meanwhile, the team agreed to terms with tight-in Adam Trautman and Linebacker Justin Strohnad locking in key role players for next season. Fans see this as smart depth building amid roster uncertainties. Bowenix is expected to be fully ready for organized team activities after his ankle fracture, with Ellinger on hand to support workouts. Barring a Stidem trade, Denver figures to carry three-quarter backs again for stability. This rewards Ellinger's loyalty with a solid raise and gives the Broncos a reliable group as they push forward in the offseason.
