Ahead of NFL free agency in March, the Denver Broncos currently have three tight ends under contract for the 2025 season.
The Broncos have Adam Trautman, Nate Adkins and Thomas Yassmin set to return this spring. Meanwhile, Lucas Krull is set to become an exclusive rights free agent, so it won’t be hard to re-sign him if the team wants to.
After the 2024 season ended, Denver opted to not re-sign veteran Donald Parham, so he’s headed for free agency after spending last year on the Broncos’ practice squad.
Trautman was the team’s No. 1 tight end in 2024, but he didn’t offer much as a receiver, totaling 13 receptions for 188 yards and two touchdowns. Adkins is a tight end/fullback hybrid who hauled in 14 catches for 115 yards and three scores.
Krull totaled 19 receptions for 152 yards. Yassmin, an Australian player, spent the 2024 season on the practice squad as part of the NFL’s international player pathway program.
Broncos TEs signed for 2025
- TE Adam Trautman (28)
- TE Nate Adkins (25)
- TE Thomas Yassmin (25)
Sean Payton’s offense could use a playmaker at the position, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Broncos make a splash at tight end in 2025. Penn State tight end Tyler Warren would be a dream pick for Denver in April’s draft. Regardless of whether or not they’re able to land Warren, the Broncos will add multiple tight ends to the roster this offseason.
