A pair of former Denver Broncos players have found homes after clearing the NFL’s waiver wire.
Last week, the Miami Dolphins waived pass rusher Shaq Barrett from their reserve/retired list, allowing him to potentially play again in 2024. After Barrett cleared waivers, he became a free agent.
Barrett then signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, reuniting with the team that he played with from 2019-2023. Barrett played for the Broncos from 2014-2018, winning Super Bowl 50 with Denver. He later won Super Bowl LV with the Bucs.

Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions waived linebacker Kwon Alexander from their active roster last week. After clearing waivers, Alexander returned to the Lions on the practice squad.
Alexander joined the Broncos in September after the team lost Alex Singleton to a season-ending knee injury. He was elevated from Denver’s practice squad to the game-day roster three times this fall.
Detroit poached Alexander from the Broncos’ practice squad on Nov. 29. He has now been bumped down to the Lions’ practice squad.
