Broncos' Justin Strnad: Decides to remain with Denver
Rotowire
Strnad agreed Tuesday with the Broncos on a one-year deal, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Strnad was reportedly close to signing a deal with the Panthers, but ultimately the 27-year-old elected to remain in Denver. He played in all 17 regular-season contests in 2023 but played solely on special teams and finished with just five tackles. The Wake Forest product is thus in line to serve as a depth linebacker and core special-teams contributor for Denver in 2024.
