The Denver Broncos have placed a one-year exclusive rights free agent tender on outside linebacker Don Dreia Tillman. This move keeps the 6-foot 3-247-pound defender with the team for the 2025 season at a modest salary. Tillman has had an unusual path to the NFL. He played college ball at Division 2 Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Since of two years off before joining the spring league in 20, 21, from there he helped the Birmingham Stallions win three straight Springfield ball championships. In his rookie year with Denver last season, Tillman notched five sacks in seven quarterback hits as a rotational pass rusher. He followed that up with four more sacks, nine quarterback hits, three pass breakups and two interceptions. The Broncos are loaded at outside linebacker now, with Nick Bonito, Jonathan Cooper, Jonah Ellis, and fourth-round paykey Robinson all in the mix.

Meanwhile, Denver also tendered second-round status to cornerback Joaquin McMillian and signed Versatile Offensive Limeman Alex Polgeski to A, two-year extension.
