The Denver Broncos have bolstered their quarterback depth by signing Sam Ehlinger to a one-year contract, confirmed by multiple sources. This move comes on the heels of losing Zach Wilson to the Miami Dolphins during the free agency period. Ehlinger, who has been a free agent, had several offers but opted to join the Broncos, making him the third-string QB behind starter Bo Nix and primary backup Jarrett Stidham.

Ehlinger, standing at 6'2" and weighing 225 pounds, has had a rocky start to his NFL career, holding a 0-3 record as a starter with 573 passing yards and three TDs against three interceptions. His previous experience with the Indianapolis Colts included a noticeable performance during the preseason against the Broncos, where he completed 5 of 6 passes for 80 yards. With this signing, the Broncos aim to solidify their quarterback roster for the upcoming season.
